Except it is. They're all screaming about a socialist takeover and communism and whatever else they think is going on.

Trump supporters don't live in cities. Do keep in mind there have been reports of Trump supporters threatening poll workers and getting rowdy near tabulation centers.

I support arresting people who commit crimes. Specially white collar crimes, of which Trump and his cronies have committed a lot.

"burn down half a city block"

Trumpists genuinely believe that antifa literally burned entire cities to the ground. Portland is a smouldering, uninhabited ruin in their minds.

First seven Presidencies elected and terms of office: Washington (2), Adams (1), Jefferson (2), Madison (2), Monroe (2), JQ Adams (1), Jackson (2).

Compare to last seven presidents elected and terms of office: Reagan (2), GHW Bush(1), Clinton (2), GW Bush (2), Obama (2), Trump (1), Biden (?)

Amazing coincidence. Does Biden gets 2 terms to keep the pattern rolling. Odds are with him as long as he's kicking. Incumbents that choose to run don't lose US presidential elections often.

Also third president in recent sequence has middle name of 3rd president, Jefferson. Also each sequence involves a pair of father-son presidencies with the shortest surname of each list.

Wait, did they burn down half a city, or half a city block? At least be consistent within the same quote chain.

Are you lying for ideological reasons or do you just genuinely not understand that everything Trump ever did was bullshit? His every policy and plan can be summed up as "it's great but I'm not going to talk about it." I don't get this blind loyalty to someone who has lied to you from day one.

This is all I'm waiting for, I just need the sad presser next to the porn shop or whatever and then I can turn the news off for the weekend.
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.
