The Silence is Deafing

[Barbecueboy]

The US will be able to work together again when everyone starts pulling their weight........instead of throwing it around.

Not before

I did; the result of which lead to a rating of MOSTLY FALSE on the truth meter for the insurrection being staged by Antifa agitators.

Is this one of the “mostly” or one of the mcarter815’s “Antifa people don't post their faces on Twitter.” moments?

What people need to ask is, who benefits from keeping us divided? Do they belong to a political party or something else? What is this Great Reset we keep hearing about? Who has written books about it, and what are their intentions? Which politicians are a part of this, and who was not? Why do the weak minded get pulled into race baiting and weird gender confusion? How do they use that to keep us divided so we don't pay attention to the bigger picture? What would happen if the weak minded would quit allowing themselves to be used?

Hypocrisy irritates me maybe the most. What happened in Washington yesterday is bad but my opinion, not fatal, maybe even helpful to hit the reset button. But irritates me no end that during the protests in multiple cities last summer a common complaint about the police was “you confronted the protestors and made it worse”. Yesterday what was heard was “why didn’t law enforcement confront them”? Good grief, which way do you want it? Hard to be a law enforcement officer these days.

Good points. Antifa started this. No doubt about it.

The majority of the current problems in this country are started by suburban white kids who clearly haven’t ever been punched in the mouth and spend their entire days scrolling thorough however many social media apps that they turned into their own echo chambers. I don’t know how you fix that problem without shutting down Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/Reddit/Parler

[kazual]

Flyboy, not my point at all.

josh, you said :"The majority of the current problems in this country are started by suburban white kids who clearly haven’t ever been punched in the mouth and spend their entire days scrolling thorough however many social media apps that they turned into their own echo chambers. I don’t know how you fix that problem without shutting down Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/Reddit/Parler"

that is not correct.

those white suburban kids are not the majority and do not hold leadership positions. what happened yesterday and throughout 2020 is not their fault. it is the fault of leadership. it is the fault of parenting. it is the fault of society.

those kids you call out are no different than i was 40 to 50 years ago. even though i grew up in rural iowa as "financially poor", i wouldn't trade the values i learned along the way for any amount of money. their ideology is no different. they want to make the country they inherit better than that of generation before them. and oh how i hope they do.

yes, they have some hard lessons left to learn. but the majority, and the best of them, along with many voices speaking out right now, that no one wants to hear or listen to, will make this country better.

The above story of course is being censored on TV fake news channels. Why is the evil and corruption of the Dem party and it's media not the issue, is the question?

Taking control of this nation and now totally disregarding the will of the people should be what concerns you!!!

[Josh Bayko]

It’s a much different time now. Look at these protests, BLM isn’t full of black people, it’s white kids from the upper middle class suburbs that always start the violence. At yesterday’s sh*tshow, same sort of WASPy morons. None of these people actually care about whatever cause they’re supporting. These people are addicted to showing the world how righteous they are on social media in whatever circlejerk they’ve created for themselves. These people are only doing any of this stuff for the likes. These protests aren’t about black lives, they’re not about Donald Trump losing a flawed election, they’re about looking cool for Instagram.

And a paycheck from George Soros and his money laundering factions...

[Barbecueboy]

I hope you're right Klem,our regions where it occurred are different but our upbringings sound very similar.

I think people saw the worst of what we can be , and we needed to see it........what they were hoping for didn't work though, I think America needed to see itself so it can fix itself......the Capitol excitement was no doubt partially antifa etc. contrived, but also no doubt totally avoidable by the Don too.

Trump acting like the kid on the floor kicking and screaming because he didn't get the GI Joe he wanted....kind of like the dems and the Ken doll fit starting in 2016....Spoiled brats , never been punched in the face hard enough....none of em.

[Barbecueboy]

another fantastic post.....don't get any truer.

[Buford.Justice]

The media sat silent through all of the Antifa and BLW riots burnings beatings deaths etc they also once tried to get into the capital building and also the white house too. No outrage just silence from the media as they pick and choose what you are supposed to see and believe....

Silence from some of you lemmings also...

josh: i think i have to agree with what you said. but it isn't just that generation. even this messageboard is populated with posters that are only looking for attention. and i would be willing to bet there are not that many here from the white suburbs.

i am not sure where social media will take us. but that genie is out of the bottle and there is no going back. and i know this may feel like a cheap shot, but if donald trump had not spent so much time on twitter he likely would have gotten re-elected.

right now i am trying to hope for the best after what i saw yesterday. something i never dreamed could happen in this country. but it did. and now it is time for our country to prove once again why this is the best place to live on planet earth.

[lurker]

Couple of points, Klem -

right now i am trying to hope for the best after what i saw yesterday. something i never dreamed could happen in this country. but it did. and now it is time for our country to prove once again why this is the best place to live on planet earth.

1. I too am hoping for the best after the chaos and pushback in DC, but my gut says we’ll have more of the same before it gets better anytime soon. The first 30 days of the Biden/Harris administration will set the stage. Whatever that stage is.

2. Personally, I cannot say I didn’t see this pushback coming. Honestly, I thought it would have happened before now. Just not at the magnitude of what happened. Unfortunately the door was opened for everyone in the World to see just how unstable and fragile we/USA are in this moment in time.

3. If this county is the “best place to live on planet earth” then why do some millennials, a) want to leave this country, or b) change it drastically to fit them, or c) feel that a more socialism type of platform is the only way to fix things?

[Rajflyboy]

Lurker. It sounds like Soros and Antifa are getting exactly what they want. Confused Americans who are dealing with third world country style things.

If you never dreamed of a revolution in this country be it from either side you are only kidding yourself !

How's the MAGA working out for you gullible fools? You need to start taking responsibility for your party actions. Now you want to blame children for what happen Wednesday. From videos I seen it was Grandparent and fathers and mothers at the insurgence.

Buford,I have sources who indicated that billionaire Don "the Con" Trump financed the insurgence and was organized by the Proud boys.
