Anti-Lockdown Protests Originated With Tight-Knit Group Who Share Bigger Goal: Trump 2020
The driving force behind Michigan's anti-lockdown protests — and their connections to the family of Betsy DeVos — is even more complex than we initially thought.

This is a new low even for Republican. Not too far from biological warfare folks.

'Word of God as a political prop': GOP senators criticize Trump after George Floyd protesters forced out of park

A few mild comments from Repubes, but mostly, "no problemo!". Vile creatures, most of them.

Weak. No chastisement of the Orange fascist.

Racist GOP-POS congressman from Iowa is primaried by the GOP. I guess even Steve King's malarkey was too much for the grandees of the Repuke Party.

Either way, good riddance.

Dubya was what caused me to finally leave the Republican party. But to cut him a little slack, he was really just the last straw.

Because he wasn't a repugnant racist, unlike your hero Donny?

In my book, "Troll Nation," I argued that conservatism, as an ideology, has lost the intellectual arguments on every issue of substance, from economic theory to the environment to race relations and gender politics. Now all conservatives have left is spite. That's why "owning the liberals" is the main organizing principle of modern conservatism and its why the right eagerly chose Trump, a man devoid of any intelligence or impulses outside of bullying and whining, as its leader. They can't win with rational discourse, I argued, so they've turned to trolling.

But trolling only gets you so far. The prospect that Trump and his supporters would escalate to authoritarian violence was always in the cards. They can't win an argument with logic or facts, but they can pummel your face into you give in, and so here we are.

Yep, here we are, trolling included, right here on this thread. Sad little Trumpkins have lost the intellectual debate, so they turn to trolling and now, violence.
