Agreed. I will never forget 5 months and $4 billion in damage caused by the BLM riots.

If you bothered paying attention to these cases, they pretty clearly showed a double standard. The Proud boys destroyed a banner that was outside of a church; the judge said they had to pay $1 million in damages:

And the leader was convicted of destruction of property:

There was more outrage and legal action about the destruction of a banner that was hanging outside than there was about many of the stores that got smashed, or the mobs of people that went around accosting diners.

I remember the guy who incited the biggest violent crime I ever saw on TV, the whole thing was televised....

But if you didn’t have a reason to vote for Trump, you do now!

He’s not wrong.

Biden will continue to dither and shuffle about giving his left wing loonies full reign while our cities continue descending into chaos.

Trump and his goons will be focused on dismantling our country’s democratic institutions.

Depressing.

What institutions will Trump dismantle? Open borders? Trans soldiers? No ID to vote? Giving all our missiles to foreign countries? Forcing electric cars on people who don’t want them? Drag shows for 3rd graders? Free drugs to the homeless?

This is pretty funny. I think people point though is that there is a difference in living in a country where you don't like the trajectory (like the things you mentioned above) and a dictatorship which is what people mean by dismantling institutions. I liked some of Trumps policy but I recognize/respect these fears that fellow Americans express. America can do better than Trump or Biden. I'm donating to Haley right now. Can't deal with another 4 years of utter drama.

That was horrible. And the yelling at diners in restaurants, pounding on cars, intimidation. awful.

The crazy thing is that the city leadership let them do it. Imagine if mobs of MAGA folk smashing businesses in the city night after night, or if a mob of MAGA people going into restaurants in Adams Morgan and forcing the diners to say they support Trump. The Council would be out there demanding these people be brought to justice immediately. But they’re fine with people doing this as long as they see the violent mobs as being on their side.

You’re hallucinating. I was downtown that night for work and cops were everywhere shutting that sht down.

Wasn't the guy put on trial? The vandal?

This is why they hate the second amendment. They want to kill their more logical and Christian opponents but don’t want to get shot.

Logical Christian opponents whaaaat? What are you even talking about? Are you off your medications?

I do not think the Wizards and Capitals would be moving to VA if Trump was in office.

In their defense, the BLM rioters left all the libraries unscathed.

Totally. Well, we did see that and we saw a bunch of them get arrested, prosecuted and put away.

I have acquaintances in DC who voiced support for the 2020 riots at the time. One particularly naive young woman kept saying that if she wants cheesecake she would take cheescake from the Cheesecake Factory--some incredibly annoying analogy that was popular in 2020 to justify smashing storefronts, looting, blocking traffic. My eyes are still rolled to the back of my head. My point is, we the people need to let leadership know that those nutty/naive/and remarkably ill-conceived voices do not represent the majority of law abiding DC residents, black, white or brown. Get on your phones and email I guess and let them know. In the meantime, is there anyone we can vote out? How's all that going?
