    As far as I can tell being a leader means spending prodigious amounts of blood and treasure in endless wars so the ones on the sidelines work together.

    I vote for Fortress America. And keep the foreigners out!

    A Democrat can be someone with whom I agree to disagree. Most Democrats do not doxx or persecute people. Most Republicans are not extremists.

    An active suppressor of Free Speech is the enemy.

    Yes, but there is a difference between disagreeing about tax rates and not only choosing not to condemn the domestic terrorist organization of Antifa, but to then gaslight Americans into believing that Antifa is but an idea, and not an active militant threat that has beaten up and killed people, and burned down businesses. Clearly, there is a difference there.

    I'm sorry, but I have something against people who vote for people who refuse to condemn terrorists, but instead play semantic games. They endorsed not condemning a domestic terrorist organization.

    Sadly on both sides there are people who refuse to be at peace with about half fellow citizens.

    Why couldn't he negotiate them so they made sense for USA? Isn't that what negotiations are about?
    Not just stop them all together. The TPP went on without us. China led the way instead of US.

    Our side is more justified: we did not vote for someone who refuses to condemn domestic terrorists; they did.

    Oh that's funny that you would think that Trump or his hardcore supporters would ever want peace with anyone who doesn't agree with them. Trump literally called any Jew that doesn't support him traitors and said that they are all disloyal and take orders from Israel.

    There is a non-compromising minority of extremists on either side.

    Hopefully all people can get along.

    I have nothing against 78% of Jewish voters who are Democrat, but I am among 22%. I am Independent closer to Republicans.

    False comparison. The Proud Boys are not domestic terrorists. They are not burning down businesses and murdering people. The only people they have beaten up are Antifa scumbags, and it's all in self-defense.

    Biden has not condemned Antifa, a domestic terrorist organization; and Biden voters endorsed that by voting for him.

    Who is Antifa?
    The leader?
    What is their group motto?

    Overview: The Proud Boys Movement
    The Proud Boys (PB) are a far-right nationalist organization that sees themselves as protectors of free speech, glorifying the warrior mystic and combat, and are noted for participating in violence with far-left demonstrators, particularly targeting the ANTIFA (anti-fascist). The PB has been dubbed an "alt-right fight club" by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), and the FBI expressed concern about the potential for violence from individuals within that group. The Proud Boys have also been characterized as racists, ethnocentric, and misogynists in news articles. While it is true the Proud Boys only admit men as members, they do occasionally make mention of their "Proud Boys' Girls". They deny that they encourage violence or gang-like activity and many naive members mistakenly view their activities as jokes and harmless.

    Yes but when Democrats are in power they don't call for the execution of anyone who disagrees with them as traders. I'm sure there are a few that believe that but those nut jobs tend to not get power in the Democrat party.

    Republicans on the other hand I've been taking over in recent years by far right extremistswho considers anyone who does not share their political and social ideals to be their mortal enemies and openly calls for their death.

    I can have a normal conversation about any given president without calling them a Nazi or a bigot. I can't say the same for the left. I'm from the north my whole family is very liberal. We all get along just fine

    Facebook and twitter do that. I wouldn't call companies that control the majority of the world's speech "minority". Unless you're talking about the size of their companies vs. the population. But that's a false comparison. They control WHAT the population can say.

    I don't either and I'm not embarrassed about it. Apparently she is an emotional "Star" that some worship 'cause she's been in a movie or something.

    Sad but true. Activists who actively pressure companies to fire/deplatform people number in tens of thousands. Not millions.

    Well that's irrelevant to my post. My post is about how Facebook and Twitter do censor people all over the world, and they are not shy to brag about it. Which goes hand in hand with my point.

    Here's a clip from CNN to get you started.


    Here's some additional clips:





    Why would a group that masks their identity to commit terrorism proclaim who their leader is?

    Here's one from a banner from an Oregonian offshoot: "“Everyday antifascist / come for the anarchy / stay for the soup.”

    Yes, I've read the Wikipedia page, too, which is sheer editorialism. But, for the sake of argument, let's take this description at face value. You highlight certain segments of someone's description of them, but what point are you making? They do participate in violence, but the Proud Boys defending themselves from Antifa terrorists are technically "participating in violence." The Proud Boys have also rushed to the defense of innocent Trump supporters being attacked by Antifa. Yes, Antifa are mostly made up of weak white boys and girls who have never thrown a punch in their lives; but they fight as a group, usually with weapons of some type, and the Proud Boys will rush to the defense when they do.

    Sadly Facebook and Social Media buckled under the pressure from Activists. But most Democrats are not Activists.

    I only call someone a bigot who acts like one. And I only call Trump supporters Nazis when they go to neo-Nazi rallies and protests and chant literal Nazi slogans like "Jews will not replace us". That is one of the chants the Nazi party used, and guess why these far right groups use them (it's because they revere Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party) If you are going to literally copy the slogans and chants of the Nazi Party, while holding up signs which praise Hitler, and calling for the death of the Jews, don't get mad when someone called you a Nazi, cause you are one.

    And these types of Neo-Nazi groups are by definition bigots. A bigot is defined as someone who holds a unreasonable prejudice against someone else based on membership in a particular group. (they hate jews for being jews)
