The Democrats Wanted Charlottesville (This is good)
americanthinker.com ^ | William L. Gensert

The riots were not about a statue and it was not about the alt-right. Antifa (an umbrella term for different nominally “anti-fascist” groups) has been itching for a real fight for a long time. It was only fun attacking Trump supporters for so long (as they did in Seattle over the weekend), and their exposure in the press has been diminishing. What’s the point of rioting if you can’t get your group on CNN? Sure, you can’t let your identity be known because of potential criminal charges but the mask takes care of that. Then, you can tell your friends for years that you were there that day battling white oppression and fascism. You were Antifa! You were Black Lives Matter!

Trump was right; while the racism of white supremacists is a scourge on the morality of man, Antifa and Black Lives Matter (BLM) are no better; they are merely acceptable progressive racism. Americans are being sold a lie. Charlottesville was a deliberate plan by the left to provoke a confrontation of such scale that all of America would notice and opinion would again break their way. It’s wrong, yes, but since progressives are on the side of all that is right and just, no depravity or moral turpitude is unacceptable in attaining their goals, which are simple -- universal liberal governance.

Why do you think Virginia governor Terry McAuliffe, a Democrat, held back the many hundreds of State Police troopers and National Guardsmen that were on site? Why do you think Charlottesville mayor Michael Signer, another Democrat, ordered the more than 300 police officers on hand to stand down?

I wholeheartedly agree with the reasons for why they’re glad it happened the way it did. No doubt, it’s among their deepest desires that “conservative” would become synonymous with “racist.”

But, I find it difficult to believe they were the great puppet masters they’re alleged to have been. Push the Nazis out of the park for the purpose of igniting the riots? Well, ... maybe. I wouldn’t rule it out.

I agree, but I think they were actually hoping for more - I think they wanted some gunplay at the riot to further their agenda. They knew (and maybe encouraged, thru the organizers) both sides would show up armed. The Dems in charge of the city already had their talking points - saying that the police were outgunned & that they found weapons caches throughout Charlottesville. I also recall that one Dem came out right after the news hit, calling for more gun control - I thought it was odd at the time, but it makes more sense to me. Had they gotten what they wanted, all this frothing-at-the-mouth anti-Confederate frenzy would’ve been directed at guns (think Australia & Great Britain).

The Confederate statues are just a surrogate - or a practice run. Because they’re going to keep trying till they get this “perfect”.

No I hadn't. Good research. While this has been going on for a long time, something else is now happening far beyond the normal orbit of these vermin. The cancer has metastasized into the body politic.

Some here are ignoring the very dangerous trajectory this is taking. Thinking future elections will bring more Trumpian change as a reaction to the perfidy.

The horns are locked. And one or the other beasts, or both, will die.

“A nork nuke on a west coast city would actually be a good thing because it will change the dynamic”

Now that you have chosen sides in the United States and North Korea conflict, and the side you have chosen is not the United States, why don’t you go to North Korea and join up with Kim Jong-un to carry out your shared dream of dropping nuclear bombs in the United States?

You miss the point. The chosen side is America not North Korea.

The destruction is of a city that has ceased to be America is good for the Republic because it will significantly alter the political dynamic, especially if the city is in California.

My answer to your previous post was facetious as I thought your post was sarcastic.

However, you were serious and really do want to see an American city be bombed with North Korean nuclear weapons.

“The Communist Revolution in America has started. Civil War 2 is about to go hot.
“I hope you have a list made up of your local possible collaborators and Chekist.
“They ARE your neighbors.”

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

100% right.
Too many believe that it will be Red states against Blue states.
That it will be cities against rural.
I’ve been saying for quite some time here at FR that it will be neighbor against neighbor.
When finally the SHTF, the battle line will be your front door!

No, I have no such desire. You have created like fake news, a fake post.

I merely stated an outcome if the norks actually attack.

You are bad as CNN
