That was hyperbole, but you can refer to the post where someone said "You supported Trump SG....you need to be held accountable." as a great example of that.  Now are you here to participate or act petulant because you really aren't that well informed and lack credible sources to support any of your underlying arguments.  Maybe you can link more tweets as a discussion.

Are you able to participate or is this what the forum is becoming.  We saw what the forum was like for a week before ID posted, all of you in a chorus and calling SG human trash. Not the brilliant discussion you thought it was.  You're free to leave too.  Or participate.  Your choice.

This.

The riots this summer weren't over police brutality.  If you believe that, you didn't pay any attention to what the folks on the ground and their anointed leaders said.  The riots weren't limited to George Floyd, but any other black male the media created a false narrative was improperly brutalized - point and case Jacob Blake.  "Fact Checkers" are refusing to apologize for their lies, saying their "fact Checks" were based on the information at the time.  Don't believe me, look here:  https://www.yahoo.com/news/fact-check-j … 35607.html

When pressed for specifics, they always vanish or toss out an insult and still lack the information to support their point.

The George Floyd officers were arrested and charged with murder within days, so tell me what the protesters were marching for after that? Record number of homicides this year, with over 50% being black males being killed by other black males.  And out national attention was diverted to the myth that black people are disproportionately killed by police.  Can anyone substantiate that claim, or do you acknowledge you don't have anything other than conjecture and perception driving you?

Trump did more for criminal justice reform than any modern President, but that is somehow left from the argument. 

No one is supporting bad cops or asking that cops be allowed to brutalize people.  But a lot of people think rioters and protesters in justified in their brutality and violence.  When you open that flood gate, you no longer control it.  The military and police certainly aren't going to align themselves with the people calling them evil.  Biden himself said this nonsense is what caused the DNC from having the landslide all the experts predicted, but why stay in reality when you can fabricate positions that don't require you to justify your stance.

Rioters attempted to and failed to take over the White House.  This is ok, because Trump is a bad man and the media and Democratic leaders encouraged and justified it.  Rioters entered the Capitol and did what exactly?  No one here gave two fucks about murders and injuries to police in left wing violence all summer.  How many cops were ambushed by people mobilized by BLM and Antifa?  It's clear they don't give a fuck about the woman who was killed, but just go back 6 months to find outrage that rubber bullets were used to disperse people trying to kill the President. 

None of them can explain why this is different, and how it's not connected to the violence tolerated and encouraged by the media and Democratic leadership.  I linked the videos of their own words and it was skipped just like ID's post on censorship was skipped.  Just as they avoided your race relations thread.  They lack the information to defend their views, and think having people pat them on the back on the internet counts for something. 

Political violence is wrong.  If you don't understand how months of civil unrest resulted in more civil unrest using the exact same tactics the other side used, you're not making an attempt to understand.  Capitol rioters are domestic terrorists, but the people setting fires and trying to breach the White House are peaceful protesters.  This is some real 1984 shit.

Yes you will.  You've just spent hours responding to me on the internet and intentionally crafting your posts to get a rise from me.   You care.  I just don't really care what an Irishman thinks of American politics.  It's amusing on some level that you choose to spend your free time insulting a stranger discussing the internal politics of a country you're not part of.  I certainly couldn't give two figs what is going on in Ireland, let alone spending my time discussing it on a message board.  You obviously have an interest in me and my country.  I certainly have an interest in utilizing you to demonstrate I can keep my cool and point out the logical fallacies and lack of awareness present in someone critiquing my own.  I certainly value the opinion of someone awake after midnight on a weekday trying to pretend to be my superior arguing about the politics of a country he's not part of.  That person must have a very important job and the means to explore the world and purchase the luxuries unique to all of its areas.  That's the kind of person whose opinion I value.

That's how you talk down to someone.  By using something that is true about them, not creating arguments you burp at.
