I'm not trying to spark a fight here, so I want to make that clear...but why is it, when liberals reach a limit and decide to fight back, suddenly we're equated with the Klan and white supremist? For 8 long years under Obama, the attacks against liberals were constant and on going. Each campaign season rendered even more attacks....conservatives calling him everything from the anti christ to a Kenya jungle shooter. Liberals were marginalized on all ends and silenced by the right wing media.
Violent, police brutality spiked and mass shootings became the norm. All right wing approved. fast foward to 2016...Trump comes along and the violence only intensifies. At what point does a liberal say enough is enough?View attachment 145485View attachment 145487View attachment 145486
One more time, at what point does liberals say enough is enough.
During the Obama years, the same white trash starting shit, again, when is enough enough?????View attachment 145490View attachment 145489
There's so many things wrong with what you've said here that I had to read it three times to make sure you weren't just trolling.
During the Obama administration, there were a lot of insults hurled at him based on race, the size of his ears, etc. Every single conservative, however, is not responsible for every insult slung by every racist, and, more importantly, violently attacking your political opponents because you blame them for mean things said about someone that you like is not "fighting back", and that's true even if you decide to be hyperbolic and refer to those mean words as "attacks". I'm not going to explain why that is, because I've got faith that you have a greater cognitive ability than a 2 year old, and thus the logic of that statement should be self evident.
Police brutality didn't spike during the Obama years. The amount of racial divisiveness we've attached to certain individual cases of police shootings increased exponentially, but the mere fact that the corporate media decides to push a narrative by focusing on a specific type of event should never be taken as proof that said event has become more common. It's called sensationalizing the news.
A similar argument could be made regarding what you said about mass shootings. You've said the "the right" approves of mass shootings, which is such a ridiculously divisive and hyperbolic statement that it's hard for me to believe that you actually believe what you're spouting. That said, I'm assuming that this statement's justification is somewhere between the fact that Dillon Roof was a white supremacist, and that we who support the 2nd Amendment tend to be called out as complicit in these deaths because we push back against proposals for, for instance, universal background checks. At any rate, the intense focus on this sort of event is an obvious attempt to demonize the right as opposed to being a response to mass shootings having suddenly become commonplace, which they have not. The fact of the matter is that gang violence in the biggest cities accounts for so many TIMES more murders then what we statistically designate as "mass shootings", that the fact that you'd choose the mass shooters in stead of gang violence as your hill to die on cannot be logically explained otherwise. The reason the lefties aren't focusing on the inner city violence that makes up the overwhelming bulk of our gun violence in the US is because various cities have shown that these problems aren't any fewer in the cities with the tightest gun restrictions, and that the problem of aggregate gun violence can be greatly mitigated via means unrelated to restricted firearm access. Essentially, it's obvious that you can't blame the NRA for gang members murdering each other, but less obvious in the case of a nut job kid who gets ahold of a gun and opens fire on a random crowd, in that any single act of violence is a hard thing to prevent. So if the media focuses on the individual cases where potential preventative measures are anybody's guess, blame is easier to consolidate and pitch at whatever political scapegoat is a convenient target.
As far as Dillon Roof, I, as a conservative, am no more responsible for that evil dipshit than you are responsible for the unibomber or Micah Johnson.
The bit about the left being marginalized and silenced by right wing media in the age of Obama, though, that statement takes the cake. Fox News and Breitbart silenced the left by airing mostly right wing narratives, didn't they? The poor left only had their points represented via CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, all their affiliated news outlets, the NY Times, the Washington Post, the primary newspaper publications of virtually every major city in the nation, the Atlantic, BBC America, The Independent, Gawker, Buzzfeed, Yahoo! News, Google search algorithms, the vast majority of higher academia, Netflix programming, MTV, Hollywood, and only several dozen other prominent sources. Poor, platform starved Democrats. The right had Fox, Breitbart, Drudge, and Rush Limbaugh! How in the world could the ENTIRE REST OF THE US'S JOURNALISM INDUSTRY AND POPULAR CULTURE hope to be heard over Fox News, 2 websites, and AM ******* radio!?
