I was referring to the post-election protests, but thanks for reminding us that those dumbasses are gonna do their thing. By all means, though, let a handful of assholes color the impression of what's going to be hundreds of thousands of people peacefully protesting this weekend.
Bottles and rocks being thrown at cops. Couple of them injured.
The left likes to conveniently ignore their side is the violent side.
He got the benefit of the doubt from everyone except the far right, which labeled him the Anti-Christ, a secret agent Muslim out to take down America, using the military to round up our guns, etc. So, no, I'm not going to spare anyone on either side the pointing out of the enormous hypocrisy that runs through the political thoughts of so many people in this country.

Interesting speech by Trump. Stuck with the populist message that carried him into office. Between him and Sanders, populism was clearly resonating with the public. It'll be interesting to see how that plays out going forward.
It is unfortunate what is happening in my own backyard at the moment. All the riots and smokeboms going off... people getting hurt.
I remember when the left was appalled that Trump wouldn't flatly accept the peaceful transition of power. Hypocrisy is nothing new, of course
CNN is suggesting this particular incident a couple of blocks away is just professional protesters who show up to these things to air their grievances with cops.
"I'm not sure what they're protesting."

Shocked that violent protests are breaking out.
what a great job the president is doing with that law and order thing he promised

I definitely have a bigger problem with the left than the right. They want to control everything and if you disagree with them then you are a racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, pig.
But then I go home to my family and end up trashing Republicans because both sides are such hypocrites it makes me sick

Very sad to see all the violent protestors and rioters. Such a "tolerant" group.
This is my signature. Savs intolerance gets me banned from the Real Talk forums. This is the kind of censorship that doomed the scout site. Don't let Sav censor us anymore. End of signature.

To be fair, I seem to recall many (not you) decry the outbreak of racially motivated violence performed in Trump's name. Lot's of unfair generalizing done by both sides.
There are so many people that are tangentially (by tangential - I mean react to headlines/soundbites) involved with politics in their every day life that they get so worked up over the most trivial things. Maybe politics should be treated how we should treat your investment accounts. Do an inventory once or twice a year and be done with it the rest of the time. Social media has completely poisoned the trough.
