What’s the likelihood that we see civil unrest soon?

Hmm, this sounds like you are saying it is okay for folks to assault someone because they have different political beliefs, particularly Democrats. Maybe I am misunderstanding your post, but it sure reads that way.

like the "is it okay to punch a Nazi" thought process?

In my lifetime of nearly 60 years it's a pretty even scorecard with slight edge to the left for politically motivated violence

I see this thread hasn't changed much in the last month.

It's like hunting over a baited field.

Maybe if we didn't sit around thinking about who its okay to punch, things wouldn't be so crazy.

Also... did you just defend nazis?

Not exactly. What I’m saying is there is a threat to democrats and that threat is the reason they are in hiding after what their president has done to this country. I’m also saying the violence that the democrats have initiated is no less ridiculous than if the tables were turned. However, that being said I did see a video of a brave Antifa group that ventured off into a Buckys parking lot in Texas. I was saying not long ago that they chose their rioting grounds carefully for a reason. Maybe this particular group heard me because they made an attempt and the leader got his ass knocked out. Did I think it was funny? Absolutely.

Tyranny = when the government knows everything about you

Liberty = when you know everything about the government

This is all pretty simple. Don't assault people that believe differently than you, even if those that believe differently than you are assholes, like neo-Nazis.

And for the record.

Assault- The THREAT to do violence creating a reasonable fear that said violence is about to take place.

Battery- any unwanted touching or striking.

Just had to clear that up because most of you are misunderstanding the difference.

You are so full of it. You bring up whooping ass on people with yard signs and now you're conflating it with "antifa" at some place called "Buckys?"

You're the one talking about whoopin' ass.

You still aren't being clear if you think folks assaulting people that have different political ideologies is a good thing.

I think @1vol8 thinks assault is okay, but battery is not... in case you're misunderstanding the difference. I'm not sure which category whoopin' ass falls in.

 

[1vol8]

So you’re taking what I said and blowing it out of proportion. Let’s recap.

-Some democrat posts a meme of trump as a baby crying. His attached post read “ we know what the republicans will do when they don’t get their way”.

I responded saying “it’s funny how democrats grow balls on message boards knowing they took the Biden stickers off their cars and out of their yards fear of getting their asses whopped in the real world”.

And somehow you take that as I’m whopping someone’s ass due to a difference in opinion? No dude! They absolutely DID remove anything pro-Biden. For nearly every supporter around the country to do the same thing at the same time says there is a universal threat they all feel if they make themselves known. This isn’t a fantasy world we’re living in. There are people out there that ABSOLUTELY WILL beat the brakes off of someone for supporting what’s happening now. If you don’t get that, idk what to tell you. But it doesn’t mean I’m looking for a fight simply because I recognize it. Get a grip

He believes Republicans are "tougher" then democrats. And as someone who votes Republican mostly I think he is wrong. Both sides are filled with vadge hat wearers. I saw it when Trump was elected. I saw it when Biden was. There is this myth in the GOP that they are tougher and more manly. Nothing supports that.

No I don’t support violence over political beliefs. But after watching what BLM and Antifa have done in the past year? It’s easy to find humor when they venture into the wrong neighborhood and get a taste of their medicine

Never said that nor implied it. There are democrats much bigger, stronger, faster than me. So I would never get a false sense of confidence over an opponent simply because he was/is a democrat.

how in the world did you see a defense of Nazis in my comment.

That was my impression, which is mine to own, but thank you for the clarification.

of course - by all means

just pointing out that both sides of the spectrum justify violence against opposing political beliefs

My neighbor was a hard core Trump guy with Trump flag, Confederate flag, and all that. During the primary I kept a Pete sign in my yard. We never had any issues, drank several beers together before he moved.

We need more of that.

I think I’d have tried to negotiate a deal with you…. I’d have offered to take down the Confederate flag if you’d lose the Pete sign.

The Pete sign would NEVER come down, so fly the stars and bars all day.

So to recap... somebody posted a Trump crying meme and that makes you think people who don't have yard signs out a year after an election have taken them down because of roving bands of real American patriots who are issuing butt-whoopins to Biden supporters.
