Biden Condemned Violence. Why Won’t Trump?
The New York Times ^ | Aug. 31, 2020 | Michelle Goldberg

Posted on 09/01/2020 11:40:52 PM PDT by Trump20162020

To try to break out of it, Biden’s campaign has gone on the offensive. On Sunday, he issued a statement condemning violence “of every kind by anyone, whether on the left or the right” and challenging Trump to do the same. On Monday he drove home the point: “This president long ago forfeited any moral leadership in this country. He can’t stop the violence because for years he’s fomented it.”

Biden is right. However violence plays politically, the reality is that only one of the two candidates cheers it. Trump has urged his fans to thuggery since his first presidential campaign. He invited Mark and Patricia McCloskey, the St. Louis couple charged with felonies for waving guns at Black Lives Matter protesters, to speak at the Republican National Convention.

Recently he liked a tweet sympathizing with Rittenhouse, who has emerged as a macabre folk hero among some Republicans. During a Monday news conference, the president defended Rittenhouse, arguing that he was acting in self-defense. “It’s not just the president, it’s the entire Republican Party right now, kind of implying that we’ve got to take matters into our own hands and seek law and order,” said Neumann.

This weekend, a convoy of Trump supporters in flag-bedecked trucks headed into Portland, Ore., to confront left-wing demonstrators. Once in the city, they shot paintballs and pepper spray at protesters. On Twitter, Trump called them “GREAT PATRIOTS.”

And one of their writers quit, because they didn't allow challenges to their orthodoxy.
How do you ever get better in life if you don't ever face a challenge and deal with it like an adult? These late 20s and 30 somethings running media and social media are entitled narcissists who have never been challenged or taught to deal with adversity like men (even if a female). So when faced with a opposition they scream, shout, censor, dox, and promote violence against their opponent.

This is quite the psy ops campaign.

One party sits back and champions looters, arsonists, and anarchists while vilifying the police and any attempt to restore order. This follows three-plus years of refusing to accept the results of an election and attempting to remove the winner from office by any means necessary.

They then plop themselves down on a holier-than-thou throne and point fingers at anyone who opposes them as being divisive and stoking violence. It’s gaslighting on a grand scale.

I never understood how it could happen that Germany embraced Hitler and exterminated Jews. I’m now witnessing a living textbook of just how easy it is to coerce and corral a pliable populace.

That is exactly what the left are now attempting to do GASLIGHT people with this “Trumps fault for violence” after Don Lemon sent up the signal to start the propaganda campaign because of their internal polls and focus groups.

people fall for this stuff because they dont have to live in reality anymore and reality doesn’t hit too many people often enough.

people like AOC can promote their green energy stuff all day long with their followers gloating how they helped save the world today by recycling a tin can, but when the fit hits the shan and they are trapped in some icy cave somewhere, they’ll unhesitatingly light up the coal they found to keep warm.

And a pacifist who gets put into the lockup will instantly grab that sharp shard of whatever that he finds to make a weapon to defend himself against other inmates if necessary.

it’s reality.

Why won’t Trump condemn violence?

Why should he? He is the one who suggests the National Guard or federal marshals. It is the Democrats who are rejecting attempts to stop violence.

Why should Trump condemn violence? Because the left wants to turn his words into asking his supporters to stand down. Because the violence is directed toward his supporters and he has always been upset at violence. He doesn’t want riots and crime in the streets. His speeches have been about

Trump has urged his fans to thuggery

Self defense against leftist thuggery is thuggery? Only a Liar and Deceiver would make such a statement equating the two. It’s worse than that — self defense is condemned as the greater evil.

The poster who compared this author and her ilk to John chapter 8 Pharisees is spot on. We are witnessing pure, unadulterated evil.

John 8:43-45 (ASV) [43] Why do ye not understand my speech? Even because ye cannot hear my word. [44] Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and standeth not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof. [45] But because I say the truth, ye believe me not.

Just a few moments of watching any press conference with the President or Katie McEnany and the “journalists” will demonstrate what we are truly dealing with.

The democRats were our enemy in 1860 and they are only stronger in 2020.

Stay vigilant Patriots!

They are not lying. They are “only” conflation Trump’s support of self-defense and minor violence with the left’s support of arson and murder.
