I didn't see any examples of 100+ days of riots that were supported by the media and politicians.

So, thank you.

🙄 I never thought you would see the point Jaden clearly made!

I understand that he answered my question and the answer was exactly what I thought it was.

I love being correct.

But I disagree with you and feel Jaden answered you more than adequately. Furthermore, no other President but Trump has invited the far right to the Whitehouse.

I agree that he answered me adequately and the answer turned out to be exactly what I thought it was.

With all the rioting and unrest that’s been going on this year already and the tensions running so high this election I think it’s smart for businesses to take precautions like that.

Smart, but also sad in a way. I don't mean "sad" as in pathetic either. How to describe...okay, it's like when a small town where you used to be able to just leave your front door unlocked experiences a series of burglaries and suddenly they just don't leave their bikes on the lawn or doors unlocked anymore.

It's smart of them to take these precautions, but we all feel a sadness that they need to be taken in the first place.

I'm thinking more in terms of the plan to kidnap Whitmer- will we see copy cat attempts if Trump followers believe the left stole the election? Is that worse, or the same, as rioting?

No, the wholesale riots that have gone on and resulted in over 20 deaths around the country are indeed worse than the Whitmer plot, I'm glad you asked 👆

20+ dead, plus untold damage to businesses around the country>>>that plot

As for riots, I'm sure we will see unrest no matter who wins, but unless people have had their heads buried in sand for the last several years they will know that we're going to get hit with worse rioting, etc. over a Trump victory than we will a Trump loss.

Some Trumpers might hoot and holler, they might even hold lame support rallies if he loses, but I doubt they'll be going to Louis Vuitton to loot it and then raze it to the ground. I doubt they will attack police precincts. I doubt they will burn down businesses in their own community for no reason. Just for fun: is there anyone that thinks they would?

Trumpers are more likely statistically to shoot people over politics.

And of course, Homeland Security says

What a neat factoid bro, you take that and put it in your back pocket and I guarantee you that you will be a hit at the next party you attend once you bust that out.

Anyways, we were discussing riots did you have anything to add on that front?

Nothing you have posted so far suggests the right is going to do more damage over a trump loss than the left will over a trump win.

I'm not saying that was your argument, I'm just informing you if it was you haven't succeeded in making it.

Homeland Security see the right as the most persistent terrorist threat.

Lovely, and? I've already informed you this doesn't negate the rioting we've seen.

We aren't talking about some single person merely acting out cuz of politics.

I know you lack the spine to acknowledge "yeah collectively the left is gonna do more damage if Trump wins" but alas that is the truth. You'll get there one day my friend I promise 👆

I think the underlying issues that make people riot are the issue as Jaden alluded to earlier. You know the ones the right denies, poverty and inequality.

Yeah Jaden did give some great excuses that do not in any way excuse the riots or negate what I'm saying.

I guess I'm asking, why even bring that up? You pivoted from "the right will cause more damage" to "well they have their reasons for burning down their own communities".

Hopefully, the far-left riots will end soon.

Yeah, you keep people poor and without prospects and you will continue to get your riots where people have enough of inequality to the point of being killed by agents of the state.

How is the state "keeping people poor"?
