    Why is everything black or white, 1s or 0s with the right? We live in complex times. Simple explanations need not apply.

    This IS Trump's America. Violence is being done by all sides.

    Are you suggesting a wall someplace in Portland or what? What solution emanates from Germany. If emanate is what you meant.
    Division is not a solution.

    Binary thinking. It's a real phenomenon. Those who generally fall to what some consider the right side of a spectrum usually see things in binary terms.

    Incorrect, this IS Dems America. The vast majority of the violence is coming from the left.

    And its shocking you dont see people on the left with that same 1s or 0s mentality. Well, not really lol. The left historically struggles seeing its own fault.

    It doesn't matter what links you provide, that doesn't formulate the argument you think it does.

    The reality is, I am objectively right. This is dems America, they divided us.

    I accept you admit to losing. Personal attacks is the result of the person with the losing position.
    Good bye.

    Its not a personal attack at all, but you can perceive it as you want. Your posts are no better/worse than mine, which was exactly what I was demonstrating.

    If you choose to leave, thats your decision.

    Nonetheless, the objective fact remains we are divided because of democrats. This is dems America.

    If you google "German divided streets during protests" You'll see that German police keep the crazies from each other and thus gatherings there are peaceful.

    I agree.
    He shouldn’t repeat Obama’s mistakes.

    He posts actual videos of the violent left. Perhaps that is why you can't trust it. As for his editorials, I saw a video of the Antifa or BLM leader speaking to the mob saying she wasn't saddened by the death calling the victim a fascist because he supported Trump and had a Patriot Prayer hat on.

    Wheeler had about a dozen people challenge his seat this year in the primaries, almost all Democrats, a handful of Progressives, and one Marxist/Communist. Wheeler and the Marxist were the top two vote-getters, so Portland's choice now is to reelect him or the open Marxist lady. I wouldn't count the woman anarchist out in November.

    That's what I've been thinking about this Portland thing.
    If the people living there didn't want this, they'd be calling for heads to roll. I have not seen that, but I don't follow it that close.
    And the little reading I did today, suggests Wheeler has been there for a few years. So if he keeps getting reelected by Portland residents, then they must be ok with what's going on?

    So, if Portland residents are ok, then why should the rest of the country care?

    That was a mighty big blanket statement. Perhaps some, if not most, of Trump's supporters just don't like Biden's policies, the way the Far Left are taking over the Democrat Party, and don't think that Biden will be any tougher on these anarchists than Ted Wheeler or Governor Brown are being. In fact, I'd place bets on Wheeler's ability to stop the riots before Biden's ability, and he appears to have no will.

    The left has been infiltrated by insane and destructive anarchists and Democrat leaders do not appear to have the balls to stand up or speak out.

    May I remind you of another recent era where the problems of "black lives" were never addressed.

    Trump inherited Obama's divided America.

    Obama/Biden's watch:

    2014 Eric Garner (police choke hold) Riots.
    2014 Michael Brown Riots.
    2014 Tamir Rice Riots.
    2015 Freddie Gray Riots.
    2015 Sandra Bland Riots.

    Why did Obama and Biden just "talk" and do nothing for eight years?

    Democrats have talked to black Americans every four years since 1964, but never have solved systemic racism???? How did that happen? Nothing but a periodic "pep talk" every four years. They've had 55 years of black voter loyalty.

    yeah, no ****, when the local mayor refuses to cooperate with the feds, and they as well as the media demonizes federal law enforcement. They SHOULD be working together, but local leadership had no interest in doing that. They were more interested in facilitating the destruction of their city.

    The rest of the country should care for the same reason why Portland cares about what happened in Minneapolis. And when these democrat cities are looted and burned down, it will be the rest of the country who's asked to foot the bill to rebuild them. And the worst part is the people in Portland who are OK with all their violence just might decide someday to leave and infect another part of the country.
