The people ypu work with are mentally challenged, (or some better term i csnt think of right now), NOT retarded. The term reta4ded now applies to people who should know better, but who CHOOSE to remain ignorant out of political bias.

The evidence is about as thick as an old phone book.

All one needs do is take a look at the Bluesky Bolsheviks.

the baseless argument that Democratic organizations and protesters are part of a violent conspiracy against conservative values and the American way of life.

You mean these "baseless arguments":

Slavery, the Lincoln Assassination, the KKK, 60 million abortions, JFK, RFK, MLK, Watts Riots, "Can't we all just get along?", Clinton "dead pool", the Waco Massacre, moslem "refugees", Obama's "I'm good at killing people", Justice Scalia, Steve Scalise, Seth Rich, Ferguson Missouri, George Floyd, BLM, antiFA, "Open Borders", drug cartels etc etc etc.

If these leftwing rags like the slimes didn’t lie to the people, they wouldn’t have a life where they make Big $$$$$$$$$$. they have no honor or morals or common decency to the majority of the people who duly elected him. they are the cause of people HATING and wanting to shoot others. Sue them into bankruptcy. we’d all be better off without them.

Just because democrat leaders call for violence, the tearing down of American society, the violent overthrow of the government, and their subjects burn, loot, and riot in cities, murder conservatives and cops and CEOs, have non stop media whore call for violence against conservatives, doesn’t mean.....

All “baseless.”

(Every claim can be backed up with quotes and deeds.)

There is nothing at all wrong with silencing domestic terrorist groups hellbent on inciting violence and engaged in criminal behavior.

Wow, it has to be true, the NYT put four authors on the job. That’s a lot of brainstorming for a suitable line of laughable garbage. This is the same President Trump who took a bullet himself not so long ago, isn’t it? They’re going to have to do a lot better than that.

Oddly, the same logic the Left uses.

So the polling data from the last month that shows about 1/2 of young Democrats think “pollical violence is acceptable” is baseless NY Times?

This article right here Democrats is what we are talking about. Your hysteric lying, and out of control inflammatory rhetoric about “threat to Democracy” any time anyone challenges your political views is another example of this political violence you have been, and are, knowingly stoking.

They can try to take things out of context to make him look bad.

I have seen his speeches before online, he was smart and quick and watched his words.

He tried to be controversial and did spike the ball right into the libtards face with his arguments, but he never crossed the line from what I heard.

Maybe he did on some rare occasion, his format was live and dynamic, targeting the opposition; not static, talking to people nodding their heads the whole time, and choreographed like a Biden when interacting with the public.

He knew where that line was and didn’t cross it. He basically just told the truth in a very “non sugar coated way” to people that lived inside that liberal bubble.

‘Democratic organizations and protesters are part of a violent conspiracy against conservative values and the American way of life.”

After listening to liberal nonsense for decades, this doesn’t surprise me.

It’s not a reaction, fighting back, or a shift in tone.

They have ALWAYS been this hateful, threatening and dangerous. They just got caught doing it with respect to an outright sniper assassination of a prominent republican during a peaceful college appearance.

Most people recognize how serious that is, but they don’t care. They hate us and want us silenced and dead. That’s what you do to Nazi KKK mad murderers.

In just my little town, working with a guy who’s friends with the local democrats, I asked him (long before this) why they hate certain republican businessmen.

He answered without skipping a beat “They think all Republicans are Nazis”.

Don’t be naïve, it always ends well for them, because their opposition is a bunch of spineless cowards.
