Why do you think most protesters and rioters are Democrats?

I often wonder how many people on here who comment on Alinsky, Marx, Lenin, etc. have actually ever read any of their works.

The "left" knows exactly why they lost and they know exactly why Trump won. They just think you jokers got taken as much as they did.

And you question my intelligence?
You want to point out the mobs of Trump people rioting in the streets?
Never mind, I forgot, you already put together a paragraph tonight.
You don't want to risk PESD.

Maybe Teach will make you some cocco.

Their work is nothing more than diarrhea, what they have in common is that they are dead. They are waiting for George Soros with open arms, I can't wait for that piece of shit to join them.

There are no Trump people rioting in the streets because they won. The Trump people did their revolting at the campaign events. That was the equivalent of the proletariat marching in the streets.

If you remember the title of the thread, it had to do with why protesters and rioters were Democrat. I gave an answer that pointed out it is those who believe they don't have a real voice who will often take to the streets, and history confirms that. It is also often a rejection of power and wealth. From my perspective you didn't understand the response - no surprise - and you certainly didn't refute the premise. Instead, you do the only thing you are capable of - making fun of Democrats. Rather than offering an intelligent response to why the Democrats are marching, you call names - you know, they are mentally ill or evil. You're really somewhat sad.

The guy's been president a month. Give him some time. Let's see in a year if your hero hasn't bamboozled you all. If you aren't smart enough to figure out that the money always triumphs, there's little hope that you'll ever understand why things are the way they are.

What is PESD? Is that the ignorant version of PTSD?

What's cocco? Is that how the right spells cocoa?

Dems/Libs are denizens of the world of "lack of privilege," whether real or imagined. As such, they feel obligated to protest everything to achieve what they call "a level playing field" (no such thing, of course).

Mike, your first paragraph is quite possibly the weirdest/craziest thing you've ever expressed on this board. At least in my memory.

I've tried. It's boring, derivative and repetitive

I don't respond to many post such as his because if someone is this disconnected from reality, why would anything I say mean anything to them. It seems to be a real problem with liberals however and more like a horrible disease. In what world are their minds really working in?
Good for people with a sense of normalcy to get reminded occasionally how dysfunctional their counterpart's minds operate.

Disconnected describes it perfectly. 👍

I came to Atlanta in the late 60's to finish my schooling. The "hippy movement" were heavily populated in mid-town where I lived. I think this is where the Democrat Party of today started. At least they act the same. It is popcorn time again.

The country got screwed and the majority of Americans are already sick of listening to the real estate agent pitching his ridiculous proclamations. The guy is the proverbial House of Cards.

Secondly, your girlfriend sounds like a real fox!

I see zero signs that this is about the "wrong" that someone can be elected without receiving the popular vote.

The answer is that conservatives are doers while liberals are dreamers. Conservatives will be out making a living and doing whatever they need to do to get on with life and take care of their family. Liberals will be plotting how they reach Utopia. Conservatives care most about fiscal issues, while liberals care most about social issues. It's not in conservatives blood to go out and protest. Protesting makes liberals feel like they're doing something good and part of thei community. Liberals are very susceptible to peer pressure while conservatives are where you'll find the person who'll stand up for what they believe even if they do so all alone.

Are you part of the "left"? If so you know exactly why you lost. Could you explain it here?

Please answer the question better than this lady.

I've stuck to a simple maxim. Wait until you are attacked until responding in kind. Tom generally makes it personal, so I wouldn't get self-righteous about pointing this out. He generally starts the ad hominem attacks. The fact that you and Tom have a totally one-sided philosophy certainly doesn't make you either right or objective.

Frankly, if you want to start a name calling back and forth, that's fine. You somehow think calling someone a turd, or inferring they are overly involved with pot is civil? I think that just gives me more data on the moronic way the wing nut brain works.
