It’s Dumb and Dangerous for Liberals to Conflate All Conservatives With MAGA

[Blaster]

You continue to slander the BLM, holding them responsible for the actions of a few....only your crowd buys it.
BTW..not everyone one who supports police reform and the end to racist policing is BLM.

BLM and Antifa are violent organizations.

They have to cherry pick that violence as hard as they can to make a fake whataboutism to the carnage and absolute disgrace that happened on 1/6.

Trump has strong support among Evangelicals and can think for themselves instead of taking the advice of a pastor.

Remember when evangelicals had strong support for McCain....then they didn't.....then before that, evangelicals had strong support for Bush......but yea, they can think for themselves......and their thinking is pretty flawed...since they now hate both of those people I named

Has there been more than 20 cases of widespread voter fraud tried in court with a government official going to prison for it? If not, then the whole basis for those MAGA riots/protests were full of shit from the start

However, the basis for BLM protests are very real....matter of fact, a govermnent official is going to prison for killing an unarmed black woman just this month......and I don't recall a single "MAGA" moron demanding accountability for the wrong doing that government official (cop) did....instead they supported him...


but they want to defund the FBI, arrest election boards, all because their cult leader lost....yall are clowns...

Bush and McCain were both warmongers.

They were riots that followed BLM PROTESTS and yes. I condemn those riots.

Do you condemn the Magariot of Jan 6?

I condemn the false flag by the FBI on J6.

Not at all. There were agents embedded to cause the violence. They were in the group they opened the doors for.

Except Ray Epps said it was bullshit. LOL.

It was Trump supporters.

I totally agree with this.....those on the left who demonize all Republicans and conservatives with the MAGA crowd are making a mistake..and alienating those whose support is crucial in getting rid of the MAGA/Trump/Q crowd.

More and more, liberals are attempting to cast all conservatives as enemies of democracy while simultaneously casting all of their political policies as pro-democracy. The consequences of this could be disastrous.
The most blatant example occurred during Joe Biden’s prime-time “Soul of America” speech earlier this month—a speech advertised as addressing conspiracy theories, political violence, and attempts to overthrow democracy.
In this context, Biden talked about how “MAGA forces are determined to take this country backwards,” before hastening to add, “Backwards to an America where there is no right to choose…” In one fell swoop, Biden conflated “MAGA Republicans” who deny elections and participate in insurrections with Reagan Republicans who care about the right to life of unborn babies. There is no comparison.
But it’s not just social issues that get you written out of polite society. Fiscal conservatives are also suspect. In a tweet sent on Friday, Biden wrote that “Republicans have pushed an ultra-MAGA agenda to: Threaten Social Security and Medicare…Raise taxes on working families [and] Give big corporations and billionaires tax breaks.” Axios’s Josh Kraushaar called this “Defining down ‘ultra MAGA’ and noted that “Under this standard, Liz Cheney would qualify.”
And Biden isn’t the only one guilty of this. This past week, New York magazine’s Jonathan Chait took to Twitter to remind us that during the Tea Party era, then-Rep. Ron Desantis wrote a book that Chait sees as a Rosetta Stone for decoding conservatism’s illiberal tendencies. After reading the book, Chait surmises that: “The Constitution’s role, as DeSantis sees it, is to prevent popular majorities from enacting the economic policies they want.”

Conservatives have long worried that “A democracy can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largess from the public treasury”—a line sometimes apocryphally attributed to Alexis de Tocqueville. This is very similar to what DeSantis was saying. Indeed, most of the lines that trouble Chait are standard boilerplate conservative rhetoric.

This attitude is counterproductive on multiple levels. First, of course, it’s terrible (morally and politically) to dismiss approximately half the country.
Second, instead of rising to the occasion and giving America at least one responsible, normal, or decent party, Democrats are taking political advantage of what could be considered a perilous moment.
Rather than acknowledging that reasonable people can have honest disagreements about public policy questions such as abortion (which you should ostensibly do in a democracy), Democrats are attempting to baptize and sanctify their political preferences in the holy waters of American democracy, which is (to extend the religious metaphor) unseemly and sacrilegious.
Third, this practice will likely lead to more, not less, MAGA extremists (an outcome which ought not to shock members of a party that has spent tens of millions of dollars helping to boost MAGA candidates in Republican primaries).
People who feel threatened are more likely to retreat to their tribe for protection. By creating a scenario where even “normal” non-Trump Republicans feel victimized and shamed, liberals risk making the radicalization of conservatism a self-fulfilling prophecy
I’m not sure they even see that as a problem.

This is the result of a two party system. It's out of date, dangerous and needs changing.

Epps was not mentioned in the final report. Why not?

There's nothing to mention. He's a nobody...like you

He is an instigator working with the FBI. And who exactly are you blowhole?

You have a point about riots. Now I wonder what percentage of the rioters in those areas are of single parents. Or when a child is six years old knows racial terms and how to use them. This has to be improved upon. And that cannot be done from the outside.

 

[Lesh]

And what actual evidence do you have of this?

 

[beagle9]

I do..whenever the legitimate protests...turned to violence I condemn them. Rioters should do hard time, no matter their issues. But there were legitimate protests, with legitimate complaints...and most of those participants did NOT riot. They peacefully marched, spoke and went home. A few stayed to riot and break the law, I condemn them wholeheartedly.
However, The MAGA types wish to paint all with the same brush..thus diminishing the legitimate grievances aired in the protests.
Except among their ilk..it's a fail.

A few rioted eh ? Bull shite... You can play it down all you want, but the J6 situation wasn't anything close to what took place over the summer of love etc. The idea that leftist could freely attack the nation's heritage, anthem, flag, statues, government institution's, police, and it's own communities in the most henious of ways, was shockingly the most outrageous idea ever constructed in the guise of legitimate protest ever. The J6 protest was a build up of frustration pent up over everything experienced by American citizens over the last 4+ years of a leftist coup on the presidency and traditional value's and cultures of the United States.

Also proven to be corrupt organizations.
