The reasonable social consensus that once was in America no longer exists. More now divides than unites.The Left and Right simply do not share common values. The separation is becoming wider and more bitter. Angry violence is common and will increase in frequency and severity when the two sides meet for whatever reason.

Any chance this entire thing was orchestrated by Soros?

Yeah that’s what I’m wondering. Could Soros have been behind the entire thing?

I said the protest was not Soros $$, not the antifa. And one KKK is one too many. The fact that the protestors let them stay connotes agreement. There are absolutely zero circumstances where the KKK can be allied with. And the enemy of my enemy stuff does not apply here

Tell us this: Should people with whom you disagree be allowed to publicly protest?

>>>I am a bit confused as to who the alt-right is. This is someone who believes in the constitution, law and order, a safe and reasonable society (where everybody born with body parts uses them in the correct bathroom) and true equal rights? Is there a definition as to who the alt-right is? ‘Cause, I suspect it’s me and I’m being demonized.<<<

It’s white people, mostly young but not all, who don’t like the news that white people are going to disappear in a few generations in Western countries due to mass and/or forced immigration/multiculturalism. But of course that includes white supremacists.

I didn’t see that angle before. So the dodge drove into the back of another car and that other car is what plowed into people.

I see and wonder if we need to also rename all streets named after a black separatist?

I agree, the last group that I associate with is the enforcers of the Democrat Party, The KKK. Racism has no place in America. NONE! But the media will portray this as a result of Rush and Sean’s “hate filled” broadcasts and have cause to “remove all hate speech” from the airwaves. You watch. This is not spontaneous, this is all planned.

I told hubby this morning....I’m surprised it took so long for white people to strike back. They’ve uprooted confederate statues, outlawed the confederate flag and put classes in universities about ‘no more white people’. BLM groups calling for blacks to kill all the white people.
I don’t think we’re gonna just go away quietly.

“It’s white people, mostly young but not all, who don’t like the news that white people are going to disappear in a few generations”

Here’s the interesting point. If, instead of Caucasian “white” we were the same culture but had always been blue, then it would be anti-blueness. The successful culture is associated with the color of the race. It isn’t the color that matters, it’s the culture. White culture, because of Christianity, has been the most successful culture the planet has ever spawned. It’s that success they are railing against, not the race. Some of the anti-whites are whites who have been brainwashed into believing in how terrible they are or simply feel guilt for how good we’ve got it. Some are from other races who are angry at the success of others. They don’t see how much was sacrificed or how hard the people who have “it” worked, they just want whatever “it” is. When I was growing up, I was surrounded by successful engineers, managers, a couple of really rich entrepreneurs and a bevy of wonderful, nurturing women. Many other cultures raise their kids among drug use, criminals, rapists and brutal abusers. I can see where they’d look with envious eyes on other, more successful people and seize on the one easily spotted difference; color and ignore the real reasons for success.

Not picking our own cotton was a horrible mistake. Letting other cultures immigrate (legally or illegally) and not insisting they learn the language and get a job, was a mistake. Now we have to live with our mistakes, but there is nor reason to continue making them.
