He exploits it by telling the truth about it? If they don't loot there isn't anything to exploit. Here we go again with the Fascism BS.Jerry Nadler denied it. What are you talking about? Who benefits? The looters.Rep. Jerry Nadler calls violence from Antifa in Portland a ‘myth’
New York Rep. Jerry Nadler is shown in a new online clip calling violence in Portland by Antifa a “myth,” after protests were declared a riot on Sunday morning. The House Judiciary Committee Chairm…nypost.comCruz, ahead of Antifa hearing, describes riots in US cities as ‘organized terror attacks’
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, is aiming to highlight the role Antifa and like-minded groups are playing in riots across the country, convening a Senate hearing Tuesday on the issue while alleging that radical left-wing groups are engaging in "organized terror attacks" designed to tear down government...www.foxnews.com
If we cannot agree that riots are bad then how can we possibly have normalized dialogue. What is happening in NYC, Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis, etc. The mayors like Lightfoot and DeBlasio deny this is happening. If we cannot vilify rioting and destruction of small businesses then how can we continue as a society?
Many on this board cannot even admit that #1) the riots are wrong; #2) Antifa is responsible #3) Protests are not peaceful (no such thing as mostly peaceful).
When did we lose all sense of logic and turn a blind eye to obvious crimes happening right in front of us? Riots, looting, burning, attacks on our federal buildings are all WRONG and should be punishable to the fullest extent of the law. How long before normal, hardworking, everyday Americans say enough is enough?!?!
I am not trying to even stir things up. I am being 100% serious. If we cannot agree that riots are bad then how can we possibly proceed??!?!
No one is denying riots are happening, and yet who benefits from them?
Trump supporters always claim the looters and vandals and arsonists are all Democrats. Of course there is no proof they are registered Democrats, nor liberals nor progressives.
It's another BIG LIE echoed by Trump supporters, a genre which is the grist on which President Trump&Co thrive upon.
The looters benefit, but Trump exploits the violence, easily getting support from the biddable base he has manipulated. I suggest you and others who support Donald Trump watch Rick Steves Fascism in Europe on your local PBS Station.
Trump uses the playbook on the rise of Fascism in Italy and Germany.
The way he exploits the looting and vandalism combines Trump's usual hate and fear mantra. HIs claim that Biden supports the rioting is one more BIG LIE.
Had you read the Rise and Fall of the Third Reich you wouldn't mock my assessment of Trumpism. Take some time, put your biases aside, and read this link:
Revisiting The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich
Recently reissued, William L. Shirer's seminal 1960 history of Nazi Germany is still important reading
