- Damorian 6y agoMuch the same way Trump didn't say "form a violent mob and attack Congress" yet he's being held accountable for what was comparatively nothing. "Both sides" doesn't mean all things are equal, just that they're comparable. The BLM riots this Summer were far more deadly and destructive, and the response to them was very different. Violent protests should be denounced by everyone. Period. I cannot figure out when we collectively decided it was fine, so long as it was the "right" side.

- koolba 6y agoThere’s always this gem from Maxine Waters instructing the country to: > "If you see anybody from that (Trump) Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd and you push back on them, and you tell them they're not welcome anymore, anywhere." https://www.npr.org/2018/06/25/623206039/congressional-leaders-criticize-maxine-waters-for-urging-confrontation https://www.npr.org/2018/06/25/623206039/congressional-leade... It’s pretty hard to argue she doesn’t mean to remove them by force.
