Conservatives forget history in discrediting Trump protesters

[bodecea]

The political memory sure seems to be suffering from Alzheimers...


Trump refers to them as "professional protesters" - which simultaneously discredits them (with no evidence) and fans the flames. A typical tactic to delegitimize their concerns which are just as valid as the concerns that moved people to vote for trump.

Conservatives forget history in discrediting Trump protesters:

Trump’s supporters also perceive these protests as “unfair” because they claim there were no riots following Obama’s election.

According to conservatives on social media, “Republicans have jobs and responsibilities” and therefore couldn’t engage in civil disobedience to voice their discontent with the 2008 and 2012 elections. With this perception of the Obama elections and subsequent claims of “ Republican acceptance,” Trump supporters are now demanding the same “fairness” for Donald J. Trump’s presidency, “We sat through do nothing politics for 8 years, the least they can do is go shut up and sit in the corner for 8 themselves,” on Trump supporter explained.

However, these perceptions do not reflect what actually followed the election of our country’s first black president, much less the difference between why people are protesting Donald J. Trump’s presidency as compared to Barack Obama’s presidency.

Obama’s election in 2008 was preceded and followed by violent attacks and property destruction targeted against minorities.​

Now, this blog is in it's own way as decidely biased as the pro-Trumpers view, but it does point out some conveniently forgotten truths of a previous election win. There were protests. And violence. And some pretty bad behavior.

Nothing comparable to the current nonsense.

I do not remember in my little life-time ---SO HYSTERICAL a response to the election results as we are experiencing now----------fret not ~~~~~~THIS, TOO, SHALL PASS

Weren't around for the 60s, were you?

yes I was------and caught right in the middle of race riots and war riots--------nothing that happened as the result of a presidential election

Don't remember '68, do you?

Several incidents described in this article:

Racist Backlash Greets President Barack Obama

The half of the country that is truly concerned about Trump's ascendancy has rights, too. Not to riot, but to protest and yammer? Hell, yes.

Are these incidents what you are holding up to compare with anti trump protests?

Most of these complaints are silly. Someone saw a Confederate flag, obama was hanged in effigy, that silliness. Where are the freeways blocked, cars with their windows smashed out, stores with windows broken, and at least one murder?

Have you anything comparable?

It's hard to make "comparables" when so many claims about the violence seem based on lies or distortions.

Some violence, ya. More violence then in Obama's election? Ya. But then again, you have also look what has from the beginning differentiated this election cycle from any other in recent history and how that may have conributed. Events don't occur in a vacuum.

And, as was pointed out in the OP - Obama's election brought out a new wave of ugliness from protestors that has only increased with this one.

How conveniently you folks forget your own.

What murder? There was a guy that shot at protestors, but that was a Trump supporter.

lady, you are now officially all over the place. just admit your OP is wrong and let's move on. admit you lied and be better for it.

What murder?

My OP is not wrong. Yes, the scale of the demonstrations is larger, and there are riots that weren't present before. There are also debunked out right lies being made about what occurred that didn't happen before either.

Obama's election brought out a new wave of ugliness that wasn't there before - do you deny that?

Trumps election has worsened that with more violent public demonstratons - do you agree? Or, are you just going to continue claim your side is as pure as the driven snow and deny these trends?

So you're saying that throwing rocks at police, destroying public property and looting stores is ok with you if a few Americans did the same thing after Obama was elected.

No. Never said that. Those are your words.

Not in those words, but clearly that is your meaning.

well just post up one news story from 2008. That's simple right?

Racist Backlash Greets President Barack Obama

what is that? It isn't a news story, it's some magazine. I said a news story, you know from a media source. ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSBC, Fox, any fking main stream outlet. BTW, I laughed at that magazine piece. funny stuff, never said anything about rioting or people in the streets.

Nope no people in the street there.

You are scaring me. You have never seen an article in a magazine cover news? Jesus. How old ARE you?
We were talking about PROTESTS. I think everyone here has agreed the riots are wrong. And they were limited and appear to be over. I would call everything in that article a protest, even if they weren't in the streets..

Why haven't Obama and Hillary denounced the violence?
Answer: They are fascists who love violence.

No. It is not clearly my meaning - you are putting words in my mouth.

Protests are fine and a right we have as Americans (free speech) - that right stops short of violence and destruction. So it's not fine when anyone does it. However it's very hypocritical of certain people to ignore it when it happened before (here - I'll put words in YOUR mouth - as if it was OK then and not OK now, due to the fact that is is worse now then it was then).

You also ignore another disturbing trend in all this that is doing anything but calming - and that is the proliferation of false stories about the protests and protestors.

Which is why I wonder what this murder is that was referenced?

 

[bodecea]

This election cycle's protests might be bigger (but then, so was the divisive and inflammatory rhetoric and animosity of the entire election compared to previous campaigns) - but none of that changes the fact that there were significant Anti-Obama protests compared to previous elections. There's a trend here of increased division leading to violence that you conveniently want to ignore.

Convenient memory lapse there. Didn't your dear leader say things like "we have to punish our enemies", "if they bring a knife, we bring a gun"? I could go on, so you have no high road here.

Why would someone bring a knife in the first place?

Fact:

In some places the depravity of the "protestors" has become such that ordinary people will be demanding Trump launch a "Tiananmen Square" type cleanup. Let us hope they can't convince him.

thats true for all the whining and moaning from nazi right wingers about "violent protests" they would be perfectly happy gunning down all in these protestors in cold blood

What a remarkably ignorant thing to say. I blame government schools and TV.

yeah just a few church burnings and random murders.... nothing compared to a broken window or a traffic jam on a freeway though

Church burnings?

You communists LOVE to lie about church burnings. Given your hatred of Christians, this seems odd.

So, let's see these "church burnings"

 

[hadit]

I also have to wonder at the rightwing media's role in covering this...or, make that PROMOTING it.

They call these protests large scale? Since when is a protest of thousands in a country of 325 MILLION - "large scale"

There are also a lot of claims going round that, when examined simply aren't true or have little evidence to support them.

For example, a claim made by the Gateway Pundit: Photographs showing long lines of buses were shared with the untrue claim that they were used to ship paid anti-Trump protesters to various cities.

Or this one purporting to show a photograph shows of a violent post-election anti-Trump protest in the US. The photo was actually an anti-austerity riot in Greece several years ago. Snopes post a video of a real anti-Trump demonstration for comparison.

Another one that can't be supported and is being passed off as fact:
Anti-Trump Protesters Block Ambulance; Father of 4-Year-Old Girl Dies

Snopes notes the following:
We have to note that the trope of derided protesters selfishly killing an innocent victim by blocking an ambulance is a common one in recent years — it popped up in July 2016 in reference to Black Lives Matter protesters, and it typically follows the familiar pattern of an anonymous social media report lacking in detail claiming that a highly sympathetic victim (e.g., a child in need of a transplant or the parent of a young child) was killed by the actions of uncaring protesters, all accompanied by an unrelated image of a protest in some unidentified location:

and concludes:
We've found no corresponding news reports of any such death occurring (in conjunction with anti-Trump protests or otherwise) in the United States since the 8 November 2016 election.


Another false claim purported to show an outburst of violence during a march in Philadelphia that resulted in a homeless veteran's death: The actual video was of an incident in 2015 that had nothing to do with the anti-trump protests or even with politics. FALSE: Protesters Beat Homeless Veteran to Death in Philadelphia


And these are just a few of the false claims being WIDELY circulated on social media as "true". This makes me wonder - WHAT is true in the claims about these protests? Are they significantly different from the anti-Obama protests other than in scale?

Truth seems to be the biggest casualty of social-media-"news".

I know someone is going to claim Snopes is biased yada yada - but it thoroughly deconstructed the above claims and if someone can actually show it's deconstruction was wrong I'd like to hear it.

Sounds like you're saying that the protests are actually quite small and insignificant, thus safe to basically ignore until they get tired and go home for crayons and safe place time.

This election cycle's protests might be bigger (but then, so was the divisive and inflammatory rhetoric and animosity of the entire election compared to previous campaigns) - but none of that changes the fact that there were significant Anti-Obama protests compared to previous elections. There's a trend here of increased division leading to violence that you conveniently want to ignore.

Still, you told a fucking lie;

[Obama’s election in 2008 was preceded and followed by violent attacks and property destruction targeted against minorities.]

That is not true, and you KNOW it isn't true.

We cannot have a civil society that learns to compromise until you of the Khmer Rouge STOP LYING.

People have posted multiple sources. We cannot have a civil society that learns to compromise until you neo nazis die of old age

So you just want to kill white people.

No surprise there.
