Again, I am confused. English is my first language, yet I am not understanding this comparison.
A few years back, Madonna shoots this to a crowd at the Women's march:
And to our detractors that insist that this march will never add up to anything: F–k you. F–k you," she said. "It is the beginning of much-needed change."
Madonna also said she was "angry" and "outraged" in the wake of Trump's inauguration.
"Yes, I'm angry. Yes, I am outraged. Yes, I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House," Madonna said. "But I know that this won't change anything. We cannot fall into despair."

She tells people later that her comments were taken out of context. How does one take "I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the white house"? What else does it mean? Did she mean love? Is she all about love? I am really on a different planet – that is not the meaning I understood, especially after the F-you rant just prior.
Now let us look at President Trump's remarks, which allegedly incites a riot and qualifies for impeachment:
"Republicans are constantly fighting like a boxer with his hands tied behind his back. It's like a boxer. And we want to be so nice. We want to be so respectful of everybody, including bad people. And we're going to have to fight much harder. …
"We’re going to walk down to the Capitol, and we’re going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women, and we’re probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them, because you’ll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength, and you have to be strong.”
“We will never give up. We will never concede. It doesn’t happen. You don’t concede when there’s theft involved. Our country has had enough. We will not take it anymore, and that is what this is all about. And to use a favorite term that all of you people really came up with, we will stop the steal. …
“You will have an illegitimate president. That is what you will have, and we can’t let that happen. These are the facts that you won’t hear from the fake news media. It’s all part of the suppression effort. They don’t want to talk about it. They don’t want to talk about it. … “We fight like hell, and if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore.”
Now it is up to Congress to confront this egregious assault on our democracy. And after this, we’re going to walk down, and I’ll be there with you. … We are going to the Capitol, and we are going to try and give — the Democrats are hopeless, they are never voting for anything, not even one vote, but we are going to try — give our Republicans, the weak ones, because the strong ones don’t need any of our help, we’re try — going to try and give them the kind of pride and boldness that they need to take back our country.”

I read or hear this, and I think we need to voice our opinions, stand up for ourselves. “Walk down” to the Capitol is a riot call? And “blowing up the white house” is about love?
I need to go back to school, I guess. Three degrees in chemistry is not doing much for me these days. I am confused.
There is something very wrong with these people.
"A WALKING YEAST INFECTION"
You could mash together an hour long clip of democrats and Democrat suppprters harassing, inciting violence, and even down right assaulting Trump supporters...see the Congressional softball game...so you’re correct there’s just a slight double standard
Kamala Harris fund-raised for arsonists for what she called a "FreedomFund" to help post bail for violent BLM/ANTIFA. https://t.co/t8LXowKIbw / June 1, 2020
Ergo, sap-happy Democrats Classify peaceable MAGA Rallies of tax-paying Americans As "Domestic Terrorist Activity"....and want to impeach Trump for "inciting violecne."
================================
Things are getting ugly really fast......as the left veers it’s (gag) tolerant and compassionate gaze from the world’s misfits....onto working class Americans.
The Left w/ power is a satanic monster, creating its own reality. Yes, they have taken power.....for a while......but it wont last forever.

Bad News for Progressive Lefties: It's Still a Conservative Country
Townhall.com ^ | December 1, 2020 | Stephen Moore / FR Posted by Kaslin
EXCERPT No one expected it, least of all the media and pollsters. But that promised 2020 big blue wave of Democratic victories across the country turned into a red tidal wave from coast to coast.
Most progressive ballot issues in the states -- from tax increases to racial preferences -- also came crashing down.
A big reason for this turnaround in the election was the massive turnout for President Donald Trump on Election Day. Trump's coattails pulled hundreds of Republicans over the goal line------
So, how deep were the losses for the Democrats? In the U.S. House, Nancy Pelosi thought her troops would gain 10 to 12 seats. Instead, they lost, at last count, nine.
But the real carnage was in the state houses. Hold on to your hats; here is the latest from our allies at the American Legislative Exchange Council. The GOP gained a total of 192 House and 40 Senate seats. Republicans flipped control of three chambers. As a result of these big and improbable wins, Republicans now have majority control in both House and Senate chambers in 31 of 50 states. Democrats have control in only 18 states. That's a map of the USA that looks awfully red throughout middle America, with only the rusting Northeast and the West Coast colored blue.
What is truly stunning about this story is that Democrats and liberal/progressive donors (Michael Bloomberg, George Soros, Mark Zuckerberg, et al.) poured hundreds of millions of dollars into the states to take over legislatures with unprecedented spending in Florida, Texas and Pennsylvania. The American Legislative Exchange Council president, Lisa Nelson, estimates that Democrats outspent Republicans "at least 3-to-1 in the states." And all they got was a lousy T-shirt.
Money just doesn't buy you love with voters.
Speaking of money, voters don't want politicians taking more of it from them. In Illinois, Colorado and California, major tax hikes lost, and tax cuts were approved by voters. Racial preferences, rent control and pro-union measures went down in flames in California -- the cradle of progressive wacko ideas.
Even Democrats admit that their party's embrace of socialism was a major turnoff to voters. Rep. Abigail Spanberger from Virginia won her race, but she isn't a happy camper. "We need to not ever use the words 'socialist' or 'socialism' ever again," she says. Democrats, she angrily continued, "lost good members because of that."
If the Democrats govern as the party of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, they can expect even deeper losses in 2022. They may even suffer their ultimate nightmare, a return to the White House by Trump in 2024.
Trumpism and putting America first are still alive and well.
Somebody needs to do a big compilation of democrat violence and extremism. Why hasn’t any one done this already?
That’s a good question you would think someone somewhere would put all these clips of Trump supporters being assaulted and the things that have been said by prominent democrats in some kind of file somewhere my goodness Maxine Waters could have her own section
We have all seen montages and they are very powerful. Since the tv news won’t show us the truth, it is time for the citizens to do it themselves.
They don't need to stop saying socialist. They need to stop being socialist.
