No they don't. You're simply not dealing in facts.
You can say whatever you want. The country saw the truth as left-wing sponsored mobs burned down cities for months on end with no response from the Democrats in charge of those cities. Except to attack the police, of course.

I know it’s anecdotal, but it was fascinating.
I'll bet there was lot of group-hugging this week in offices around the country to soothe the butt-hurt Trump loyalists. My neighbor was near tears saying its all over now.

I'm not sure any normal person would cry over these elections. Neither candidate is going to do anything for me personally.

Looking through the posts, people have lost their freaking minds. Some of you are calling for a civil war, and armed insurrection. Many are refusing to accept reality. Ive seen threads where some of you are egging on the idea of literally murdering those who disagree with you. The mods end up deleting some of them, but yall keep just losing your minds.

Folks, the votes are STILL coming in and Bidens lead is increasing. EXACTLY as expected since Trump told his folks to vote in person, and Biden recommended mail. And that's what occurred. Now you're all hunting desperately for fraud that wasn't there on Bidens side. We came out and voted on Bidens side. And even the disaster that Trump turned the postal service into right before to cheat didn't help enough. The Democrats knew he was going to do stuff like this, and the rallying cry was-vote in such numbers that they cant cheat their way out. And that is EXACTLY what happened. So far thats the only cheating thats gone on that we've seen that was at all large scale.

Now calm yourselves. We elected Biden, not a Democrat version of Trump. Trump made it clear-he would ONLY help his supporters. You should be thankful that Biden has a more traditional view of the presidency. He will do his best to support you too. Democrats literally picked him over someone who might be far more left because we wanted to win this. Ironically as usual that didn't help much I think. We should have just gone for Bernie or Warren instead of trying to figure out how to pull some Republican votes. They probably would have won. But here is the thing-you got one of the most right wing Democrats.

So knock this nonsense off and act like Grown ass adults. We resolve things by talking, we dont go murdering each other. And no Biden is not a pedophile, a communist, a socialist, etc etc. Stop your insane nonsense. Hes just a guy, and hes going to do his best to represent us all as president. Lets argue about his spending, and his taxing, and the usual stuff. Using our words. These calls for violence should shock most actual patriotic Americans here. These calls for a monarchy? Or for Trump to just take over? That's literally the most unamerican thing I have ever heard of. My mom would beat me if she were still alive and did that. My father.....well id just disappear one day if I did this sort of anti-american nonsense.

I know I'm going to get the usual insults here, personal attacks, whataboutisms, and TOTALLY insane claims in response to this. This is not written for those people. It written for those of you reading this going "Yeah this is kinda insane". Yeah, you didn't take crazy pills. Some folks are losing their minds. If you are a rational Republican lets get back to reality and arguing about interesting things. This stuff just makes you all look bad. Get the craziest stuff under some control. The calls for violence especially.
people are just blowing off steam because they are dissapointed. better in this forum, than on the streets, dont you think?

and in case you hadnt noticed, the dems didnt act like anything resembling adults. your point would be better received if you wouldnt come out of the gate with how dems acted.

So you've never supported BLM?

So you've never supported Kamala Harris?

So you've never supported the left wing of the Democratic Party?

So while not all Democrats *overtly* condone violence, most tacitly endorse it as long as it serves their political agenda.
No they didn't.

They insisted the masses have a right to gather in protest.

No mayor or governor condoned violence.

They believe in the right to assemble, and didn't want to see that trampled.

That's a small group of people doing that.

Neither Joe Biden nor a majority of Ds condoned violence.
Not ascribing it to ALL D's but the party in general was heavily involved.

Those protests were supported by D's.
They were funded by D's.
Cops told to stand down by D's.
Bail funds were set up by D's.
Charges for crimes were DROPPED by D's.

The vast majority of the violence and damage occurred in areas that are heavily (like 70%) democrat as well.

Keep in mind, I voted for Biden so this isn't partisan mud slinging.

Oh well, maybe Biden can appoint Rahm Emanuel the head of a new task force to investigate police abuses and cover-ups. He's frankly a subject matter expert on the topic...

They may not all support it, but a Hell of a lot of them refused to condemn it for a long time.

Or they'd give a half hearted disapproval of the violence and destruction while always qualifying it with a "BUT".......with something about racial justice or some crap following.


Looking the other way, or minimizing with the "it's mostly peaceful" garbage and otherwise making excuses is a type of condoning in itself.

By enabling the violence and preventing the police from stopping the violence, they were condoning the violence.

The violence could not continue without their Democrat comrades in office helping them every step of the way.

If you support those Democrats, you support the violence they enable. Simple as that.
