The problem is that there have way too many people on your side excusing and justifying the violent ones.

Understanding the root cause of the anger is not excusing or justifying violence.

Right, in the same way you never suggested wanting people at Trump rallies to die from Covid. Now, do I think you meant it? Probably not, but denying what you meant isn’t exactly honest, so hi Pot, I’m Kettle.

So...yes, you really like using lies in an argument.

OK, I guess that's good to know. I mean, not surprising, but good to know.

Yes, but that doesn't play into their partisan narrative, so it will be ignored.

Of course it will be ignored. In my way of thinking it's only his hardcore supporters who will vote for him again. He is alienating almost every other group of people. I also expect the noise and craziness to continue to escalate as the elections get closer. I don't care, they are only shouting to each other it isn't increasing his base of voters. They've believed the bs from their leadership for decades. Government bad, dems, even worse. Now they have a president they can't abandon and he's going to bring the gop to a screeching halt hopefully for generations to come.

Oh, this is going to be a dirty, embarrassing, low-down election. Biden is not a good choice, he has more class than Trump but it's easy to have more class than zero. But it is not going to be pretty. It's a damned shame that the Republic is reduced to a Reality-TV show, but this is what "conservatives" (lol) wanted.

So democrats are fascist. They seem to be the ones who get so upset when whites don't buy intend the white privelege, racist propaganda the left keeps pitching. An every topic if you disagree with democrats/liberals they go crazy with the racist/victim card. How many of those those do they have in a deck anyway.

I saw this somewhere. When you elect a clown, expect a circus and boy oh boy are we getting it. Biden is also not my first choice but I'm sure not sitting home and not voting. I don't think our democracy can stand another four years of trump's attacks on it.

Oh, if Trump gets re-elected...it's balls to the wall. If you thought the first 4 years were bad, the second 4 will make the first look like Mohandas Gandhi. It will be out of control crazy.

Nope. Ain't no President in the modern era gonna be assassinated. There's too much caution and protection and such, it will not happen. It should not happen. If Trump is reelected, we deserve the consequences.

I used to believe that, I don't now. I do not deserve trump because of others. If the people who don't vote swing the election like last time, they deserve trump for another four years and all the suffering that comes along with him.

Yeah, I mean individually do any of us deserve Trump? He's been one of the most corrupt Presidents in recent memory, certainly the most embarrassing in perhaps the entire history of the Republic. But the Republic isn't a Person of One, we're Of the People. And as the collective we decide, and as the collective we reap what we sow.
 
Another journalist arrested, apparently because he was black

Gannett reporter detained covering protest in Dover

A staff photographer/reporter for the Dover Post was detained by Delaware State Police Tuesday night while covering a protest near the state's capital.

He was released more than an hour later without being charged.

Andre Lamar, who is African American and who has covered several demonstrations in and around Dover since George Floyd was killed by a Minneapolis police officer last month, was doing a Facebook Live of police officers detaining several protesters along Route 13 in Camden, near Dover.

Just prior to the arrests, the protesters had been blocking traffic and walking between cars, Lamar said. He said there was a larger-than-normal police presence Tuesday night, and while there was "some friction" between protesters and officers, it had remained largely peaceful until police began detaining people.

Neither State Police nor Dover Police have said what led to protesters being detained, but Lamar said he didn't see anyone get violent. He said a Delaware State Police trooper later told him it was because protesters had been told to leave the area.

"It was kind of like a big melee and then I saw protesters just getting taken down by police and they were getting slammed down to the ground, women were getting slammed down to the ground," Lamar said. "People were having their arms twisted behind their backs like pretzels, they were just getting jerked really hard."

Lamar began questioning police about why they were detaining protesters, which is when they turned to him, he said.
