These people are the losers who have lived on the fringe of society their entire lives. In many cases they are incels. They have never been given any respect (because they don't deserve it). Even their families have disowned them in some cases. They have never had any power over their own lives. They exist at the bottom of the economic ladder. They have low intelligence.

So, they are angry at everyone but themselves for their situation. And now tRump has noticed them and realized they can be easily manipulated with a few words of attention directed at people who are desperate for someone, anyone to notice them. They feel empowered because they have finally found someone in power who isn't laughing at them or criticizing them. They see a chance to get even with society. tRump is telling them it's OK to be racist and violent. They love it.

left went too far with their policies over decades and there is pushback. even obama knew that.

its not just in USA, it's Europe. they are tired of this... which you don't even acknowledge.

That's one issue...

EVERY decent human must stand up to this rise in Fascism, or World War Three will be inevitable.

[lightbulb27]

@beefcakebradybatson where is the fascism? not so convinced it's fascism in usa, full definition. can see why someone sees that, but don't see it. nationalism yes, cost cutting... yes. this what happens when a pattern ran its course and country in debt.. which we are. question is can we get better without great conflict? Time will tell. If "someone has to take a haircut", "someone has to lose"... that causes problems. At some point, debt/banking/finance... is a problem... always has been.

[beefcakebradybatson]

Historically, nationalism has meant imperialism abroad and targeting racialized folk at home. And the "cost-cutting" is of programs designed to ameliorate socio-economic disparities, which will further sharpen with their gutting.

[lightbulb27]

@beefcakebradybatson true... Japan WWII... but that was very violent takeover of resources. England - same. True.
If we invade countries to get resources, then you are right.

[lightbulb27]

what was like in germany before WWII... looks peaceful. crap can go bad fast...

But the other view is... keep sending the train down the tracks... off what cliff? What do you do, keep devaluing currency each time banking system choakes?

[beefcakebradybatson]

Dude, as a lifelong history reader (REAL history, not the pap taught in American schools), I know what happens when certain conditions achieve critical mass.

You may know more than i. But to your point… these are cycles… policy decides our fates. Dalio writes well on these topics. Good luck to us all.

Back to your tub of ice cream fat girl.

Joe Biden pardoned thousands of felons including Mark Milley, Liz Cheny, Adam Schiff and his son Hunter and the rest of the Biden crime family. Did nobody think there would be no blowback?

[OddBeMe]

You have to be convicted first. But I would like to see a presidential pardon challenged and then destroyed.

[exitseven]

Biden pissed away what little credibility he had left when he gave his family a blanket pardon for any crime that they may have committed after he publicly said he would not pardon his son.. No wonder he is considered the worst president in history.

[OddBeMe]

Not gonna disagree but you aren't being as honest with trump.

[exitseven]

President Trump pardoned all the Jan6th protesters. These people were patriots not criminals. I think originally he was going to look at each of the 1500 cases and pardon them on a case by case basis. A process that may have taken months. However when Biden pardoned all those criminals I think Trump just said "Screw it"

[OddBeMe]

Those who beat cops are patriots?

[exitseven]

@OddBeMe When it is in self defence it is. A lot of these people were across the street before the cops started raining rubber bullets on them to try and soften them up before they marched across the street to beat them up. It was a very small minority that actually went into the Capitol and most of them were invited in by the cops.

[OddBeMe]

No they weren't. The footage is out there moron. Actual body cams

[exitseven]

Tucker got the footage from Mike Johnson. It was never shown by the fake news. It was the internal cameras that sre in the Capitol building. It showed Capitol Police letting people into the building and actually holding the door open for them, There is other footage of Capitol Police officers leading protesters through the building. Nobody caused any damage or violence. They looked like tour guides. It also showed Ashlee Babbitt. It showed her trying to get through a broken window, There were two Capitol Police officers with assault rifles behind her. Why didn;t these two guys arrest her? Then he had some cell phone footage of the cop that killed her. She was halfway through the window and was holding up her hands. She had no weapon. The cop that killed her pointed his gun at her and fired. You could see blood gushing out of her neck.

[OddBeMe]

Because it cut out all the nasty bits dummy.
