How can I not tell you that you're wrong when you continue to be wrong?
Not for your beliefs...you're entitled to them, no matter how overblown I or anyone else thinks they are. BUT...I have yet to hear you say that the riots are wrong...destroying other people's property is wrong. You...and all the special snowflakes can believe whatever you want and I can disagree with it. But a violent response to a LEGAL DEMOCRATIC process? When your own beloved leader and the loser of the DEMOCRATIC process are speaking out against it? That's what is wrong...not your feelings or your beliefs. Acting out VIOLENTLY based on nothing more than your feelings is what I am calling wrong. Your continuing refusal to call that wrong is what I am calling you out for...NOT your beliefs or your feelings.
You might have noticed that I personally am NOT rioting... so I'm not going to apologize to you... especially after all of this 'special snowflake' shit. But your insistence that the rioting was the only thing you're taking issue with is wrong-- you insisted that this was merely a case of 'sore losers upset that they didn't win'... it's a lot more than that. I'm assuming that you're now focusing on the riots because you realize that you were wrong, so that's a step in the right direction.
But yes, okay, rioting is wrong. Murder is wrong too, but I would more sympathetic to the killer if it was an abused spouse fighting back after the abuse went a little too far. And that is how I feel about these riots. This sort of blind rage isn't due to hooligans who just want to watch the world burn, it's a legitimate expression of rage, helplessness and fear... and those aren't going to just go away. Simply condemning it isn't going to help anyone understand it... but the thing is, even understanding it probably isn't going to help, because I can't see any of the much-needed compromises ever taking place now.
And rioting may be wrong, but electing a fascist is much much worse... and I don't see you feeling any remorse about that. I don't see any remorse being shown about the racism, sexism, and hate that came out of Trump's mouth-- just a lot of 'shut up and stop being such a baby', even when it was obviously hurting people in ways that you could probably never understand.
Even if Trump turns out to be a complete fraud (which would be nice), people VOTED for that shit... which is simply horrifying. It's even more horrifying that this was LEGAL and DEMOCRATIC. In fact, the words LEGAL and DEMOCRATIC have been officially reduced to dogma now. If LEGAL DEMOCRATIC processes are what led to President Trump, then LEGAL DEMOCRATIC processes are not to be trusted.
This is seriously grim shit.
Like so many people who don't really believe what they're saying , you're really good at using that word "but". My therapist a long time ago told me that, when used a certain way, all the word "but" means is "here is how I justify what I just claimed is wrong.
"Rioting is wrong BUT electing a fascist is worse". Again...ANY ACTION TAKEN YET by Trump to prove he's a Fascist? A dictator? Any?
"Murder us wrong BUT after one beating too many, she put a bullet in his head". Yep, murder is murder and it IS wring but in this case, there is a reason for it. That's why they have such a thing as "justified" homicide.
No, I am not wrong...you just are not stringing what I've said together: Trump wins...snowflakes get upset...resort to what snowflakes do...protest. (a.k.a. organized whining). Since many of them had the day off from school to deal with their "emotional upset", they had the opportunity. They want to show their fear of...and anger at...Trump...they burn down people's property. Not their own...Oh God, no. But not Trump's either.
