I agree with you in that people like Maxine Waters should not have done that because it was inciting violence. However, Trump has done nothing but incite violence throughout his presidency as well.Hashi Lebwohl wrote:Many of us here feel that way when we see that you have posted something.
Remind me to look up all the video clips of Democrats in the last two years talking about people needing to "rise up" or "take to the streets" in addition to telling their supporters to accost thejr political opponents when out in public. They have been fanning the flames of violence for that whole time.
You people only look at antifa violence because it confirms your biases. You ignore all cases of right-wing violence because it makes you feel insecure and would force you to rethink some of the things you believe. It isn't convenient politically.
The supposed Trump "counter-protesters" that went to Portland recently, resulting in a Trump supporter getting shot, was an example of this. These people were part of groups like Patriot Prayer (at least that has been confirmed so far) but also possibly other groups like Proud Boys, militia, etc.
All of these groups have been know to instigate violence. Proud Boys goes to events with Antifa people, and they get into fist fights with each other. It's like gang wars.
Militia people who open carry rifles are there in order to intimidate protesters. Sometimes they engage in anti-government violence (as in the Bundy Ranch standoff).
You are either willfully ignorant or disingenuous if you deny this.
