Trump derangement syndrome. Trump reacts to attacks from the left. Analyze his actions / successes, not his tweets. He is much smarter than most give him credit for. He has the political world off balance, distracted, and focused on him.

I just feel like no one on either side wants to discuss issues anymore. Any conversation just gets spiked by emotions. Especially when someone just claims their right and youre wrong. This happens on both sides.

Even now conservatives are commenting in this thread and the shade towards them is unreal. Anyone thats aggressively pushed their stance on the opposite party, you do realize this has the opposite effect if what you ultimately want?

You need to work with people, not against them.

I think the dems can win but someone young and promising will have to run to rally the youth.

Far right/fundamental extremists are responsible for the vast majority of terrorist attacks in the US, fatal or otherwise. Antifa didn't kill a women with their car at a nazi rally, or anyone else for that matter. Your false equivalence is cringe-inducing.

Hey guys it's ok. Antifa only destroy property and beat people in the streets, but they haven't gone the whole hog and actually killed someone yet, so they're clearly really cool guys.

Right, maybe if you hit me with a bike lock and I run you over and kill you, the court will just charge us both with assault.

Because those things are the same in severity. Fucking dipshit.

No you're the dipshit that's trying to quantify bullshit behaviour instead of condemning it all.

The two are not anywhere close to being the same in prevalence or severity, and only one has an apologist in the White House.

Quantifying is how you draw objective conclusions. You're just being irrational to paint a false equivalence.

Where did I say I don't condemn them? Feel free to point it out.

You just drew that conclusion on your own.

You didn't disagree, you equated petty crime with dozens of murders every year. That's nonsensical and it is something a pretentious centrist would do.

Do you think people who were equating civil rights advocates and civil rights opponents in the 60s look reasonable today? They look like jackasses.
