Oh yeah, it's totally the police that forced the poor democrats to burn cars, to throw bricks, to break in and loot stores. What a believable narrative.


If you honestly believe that 100% of the people burning cars, throwing bricks, and looting stores are Democrats you aren't living in reality. That's not even a remotely believable narrative.


Democrats, socialists, and communists, yes.

It sure isn't Republicans rioting because their candidate is enacting one of the cornerstones of his platform.


It is. Because I see them waving Palestinian and Mexican flags.

Ironically, the two places they don't want to move to.


If they flew the American flag would think they’re immigrants or American? Would you just get mad all just the same?


Flying the flag of countries they're protesting being deported to is a weird flex.


Democrats? Democrats??? Like Karen Bass and Gavin Newsom are out there burning cars. Come on, man. These things are done by impulsive opportunists, not as some kind of political strategy. They happen during sports celebrations, regularly, all over the world.


Yes, democrats. You seem to confused by some basic logic. Protesters and rioters are democrats (in this case). Doesn't mean that all democrats are protesting or rioting. I can't believe I have to explain this.


No, I'm objecting to what I view as a quite extreme reductionism. If the way you interpret events like the protests in LA is first to classify all people as "Democrat", "Republican", and "Other", you greatly impoverish your view of things.


No, I think you're just frustrated that I'm correct, that your side is engaged in violence, again, so you're trying to distance yourself from it, and so you make up all this nonsense.

It's democrats.


what makes you think those people are democrats? A riot is the language of the unheard

Looking at the latino vote for trump in the last election and it's disagreeing with you.


you do realize a third of the US has not voted and does not identify with Democrats OR Republicans?
