And you could also post hundreds of videos illustrating violence from right-wingers. But those don't ever appear in your echo chamber, so you probably aren't aware they exist. Go search for them, see what you find. Look for videos of Trump promoting violence.KS wrote:I could post links to hundreds of videos showing attacks on Trump supporters.
I'm not defending the left. I know there is violence and guilt to be had on both sides. What I'm saying is that your words come across hypocritical.
Eight years of growth is wreckage? Eight years of growth following wreckage from the previous conservative president? What alternate reality are you living in?The Trump-bashing is just cover for the wreckage that Obama left behind.
You believe that?Barry Soetoro (aka Barack Hussein Obama) ordered the FBI to derail the Trump campaign.
I prefer the restrictions that bureaucrats place on people around me. I'd rather keep the health department regulations, pollution regulations, consumer protection regulations and other restrictions that you appear to simply take for granted. Have you ever lived in a third world country that lacked good regulation? They're filthy and polluted and slummish and red in tooth and claw.You don't need bureaucrats telling you what to do.
I lived in California for ten years, and I agree that too much bureaucracy is bad. There must be balance. Currently, many states have too much bureaucracy. But that applies to specific laws and specific instances, and isn't a blanket statement.
To me, this equates to rich people. Rich people have tremendous power, and use it to twist the government into their favor. Which primarily means shrinking the powers of government so they can keep more of their money and leverage it to greater effect to make more money. The only force we have to act as a check against the power of the rich is our government. You need power to combat power. I agree that both forms of power are magnets of the Dark Side, but how do you propose we avoid another gilded age? By shrinking government and allowing the rich to reign once again? You're ignoring one evil and bickering at the other. Step back and see the struggle for what it really is.Anybody who CAN abuse their power WILL abuse their power
