I cannot stand idly by any longer

[anynameyouwish]

I was glued to Twitter last night. Why? Not because of some cat videos or hilarious fails, no, but because of all the violence I saw in DC last night. I saw almost every video that was posted, whether of couples and parents with children or of minorities and the elderly being attacked by Joe Biden's supporters. All innocent people who came to protest a seemingly stolen election. I watched as nobody on the left condemned this behavior. I watched as law enforcement did literally nothing to stop the violence, instead, Muriel Bowser let our nation's capital become a hellhole.

So I came to one conclusion:

Trump should not cede this country over to people who stand by and allow this kind of violence to continue against innocent people with different viewpoints. If that sentiment scares you, sorry. This may amount to calling for a coup, but I know of no other peaceful way to solve America's issues (if you have any peaceful ways to bridge our seemingly hopeless divide, I'm all ears). The time for being nice and diplomatic has passed. If people like me, who believe what we believe, are going to be engaged in this kind of violent manner, then we should respond in kind. Words have failed. Actions have consequences. These are the sort of things that drive good men to do bad things.

I was an extremist ten years ago. A hard right-wing extremist. I strove to get away from the vile hatred that extremism brought, I wanted to be tolerant and understanding, yes, I have tried my damndest to remain neutral and dispassionate wherever possible. But I cannot stand idly by any longer. I cannot watch as people who hold one particular point of view are attacked and mercilessly destroyed for doing exactly that. No matter how vehemently I try to stand back and turn the other cheek, the words "fight back" and "resist" come to the surface. Those acts of violence posted on Twitter I mentioned earlier? They make my blood boil.

I don't want to be your enemy. But if you insist on treating me as one, I will be the worst enemy you can possibly imagine. I come from an era where respect is earned, not given. Don't mistake my reticence for weakness. It is for your protection. I don't care about your feelings or emotions, I have enough trouble dealing with mine. I am not incapable of exercising empathy, but I am also capable of being colder than the vacuum of space. Do not try me. Do not give me an excuse to be.

I am happy to be your friend. But I will not be disrespected or maligned. My ideas and opinions are my own. I have a right to believe what I believe. But know this: my empathy for you will stop the moment you attempt to deprive me of those things, or if you try to dehumanize me for having them. My faith in humanity at this point is gone. Gone. Don't give me another reason to justify that sentiment.

My perception has changed. I will not acknowledge Biden as our president, not because I think he stole the election, but because he will allow the same behavior we saw last night in Washington DC to spread throughout this country, while he eschews empty calls for "unity" and "healing." His condemnations of the violence will ultimately be hollow and empty.

I am not fooled. I will defy this trend. I will stand up for what I believe in.

i oppose trump for who he is, what he is, who he represents, and what he has done to our nation.

i will not stand idly by while trump and right wingers spit on the constitution and destroy our nation.

i will work against him and you

i will speak against him and you

i will vote against him and you

if you think that makes me your enemy then you can go fuk a flag

This fails as a hasty generalization fallacy.

Subjective, anecdotal accounts of individuals’ actions are devoid of merit; the acts of a tiny minority of persons are not ‘representative’ of the whole.

And neither Biden nor the Democrats are ‘responsible’ for the acts of that tiny minority of private citizens.

The thread premise is ridiculous sophistry – as idiotic as it is wrong.

 

[Meathead]

If the Dems are always stealing elections how is it they lost the last one?

They didn't account for the Russians obviously. I was with her but these Russian-accented voices that sounded like Boris and Natasha kept telling me she was a bitch.

I, however, can post the videos I mentioned to this thread.

 

[Eric Arthur Blair]

Probably not- it's not her strong suit- her emotions run amok when protested is mentioned-

A lady troll? I think I remember a post from this cretin discussing a medical condition that made his (her?) testicles swell up.
Whichever he/she claims to be there is hardly a poster around that can match the pure output of ignorance
and foolishness this person puts out. Including several doozies in this thread alone.

Well, you have fun stormin the castle. Let us know how it works out.
The rest of us are going to go on with our lives. In six months Trump will

Do they let you tweet in prison?

VIDEO: Trump supporters attacked while leaving rally in DC

Social media lit up on Saturday with videos from the pro-Trump and anti-Trump rallies in Washington, D. C. The violence was caught on camera as supporters were trying to leave their respective rallies. Caution, this video may disturb some viewers. Viewer discretion is advised. The video shows...

abc3340.com

Trump supporters attacked and viciously assaulted while trying to leave DC rally.
Fans of corrupt Joe Biden joke about the innocent people being beaten to the ground and then stomped.

Any DC police there to stop the mayhem? Apparently none that would bother to stop the violence.

I thought this stuff only happened in dysfunctional third world places.
Welcome to the third world way of life brought to you by Biden, Antifa and the leftist cowards
that make light of this all.

I used to think talk of a Civil War was all hyperbole. Now I'm not so sure.

 

[TemplarKormac]

The way I fight is by combating disinformation with facts. If called to back up my words with actions, so be it. I will, to whatever degree of success that may bring. But I won't be on the couch anymore, that's for certain.

 

[BULLDOG]

You smell of fear.

And you smell of cheese puffs and that off brand fabric softener your grandmother buys. Are you gonna conduct your battles from that basement computer, or do you think you will have to go to the computer at the library, because they have a printer there for you to print your battle slogans, and make copies of those 2 for the price of one toilet paper coupons?

I will not acknowledge Biden as our president, not because I think he stole the election, but because he will allow the same behavior we saw last night in Washington DC to spread throughout this country, while he eschews empty calls for "unity" and "healing." His condemnations of the violence will ultimately be hollow and empty.

I am not fooled. I will defy this trend. I will stand up for what I believe in.

Of course he shouldn't. Biden is an illegitimate.

So you stood up and stretched from sitting at the keyboard or Tweeting.....I thought maybe you'd actually do something to support your ideology..

He's doing just that your moron by posting against the savage attacks in Washington DC by Biden linked
thugs and Biden Brown Shirts attacking innocent people for the crime of NOT supporting Joe Biden.

Did you actually read the post? If so there is no excuse for your incredible ignorance.

Well, you have fun stormin the castle. Let us know how it works out.
The rest of us are going to go on with our lives. In six months Trump will
be a distant memory who occasionally rage tweets but most don't pay attention to.

You smell of fear.

And you smell of cheese puffs and that off brand fabric softener your grandmother buys. Are you gonna conduct your battles from that basement computer, or do you think you will have to go to the computer at the library, because they have a printer there for you to print your battle slogans, and make copies of those 2 for the price of one toilet paper coupons?

If that's all you have to say, I am heartened. Because people like you only hurl half baked insults... from behind a computer. I'll fight from the shadows if I must. I will fight the digital fight.

I was glued to Twitter last night. Why? Not because of some cat videos or hilarious fails, no, but because of all the violence I saw in DC last night. I saw almost every video that was posted, whether of couples and parents with children or of minorities and the elderly being attacked by Joe Biden's supporters. All innocent people who came to protest a seemingly stolen election. I watched as nobody on the left condemned this behavior. I watched as law enforcement did literally nothing to stop the violence, instead, Muriel Bowser let our nation's capital become a hellhole.

So I came to one conclusion:

Trump should not cede this country over to people who stand by and allow this kind of violence to continue against innocent people with different viewpoints. If that sentiment scares you, sorry. This may amount to calling for a coup, but I know of no other peaceful way to solve America's issues (if you have any peaceful ways to bridge our seemingly hopeless divide, I'm all ears). The time for being nice and diplomatic has passed. If people like me, who believe what we believe, are going to be engaged in this kind of violent manner, then we should respond in kind. Words have failed. Actions have consequences. These are the sort of things that drive good men to do bad things.

I was an extremist ten years ago. A hard right-wing extremist. I strove to get away from the vile hatred that extremism brought, I wanted to be tolerant and understanding, yes, I have tried my damndest to remain neutral and dispassionate wherever possible. But I cannot stand idly by any longer. I cannot watch as people who hold one particular point of view are attacked and mercilessly destroyed for doing exactly that. No matter how vehemently I try to stand back and turn the other cheek, the words "fight back" and "resist" come to the surface. Those acts of violence posted on Twitter I mentioned earlier? They make my blood boil.

I don't want to be your enemy. But if you insist on treating me as one, I will be the worst enemy you can possibly imagine. I come from an era where respect is earned, not given. Don't mistake my reticence for weakness. It is for your protection. I don't care about your feelings or emotions, I have enough trouble dealing with mine. I am not incapable of exercising empathy, but I am also capable of being colder than the vacuum of space. Do not try me. Do not give me an excuse to be.

I am happy to be your friend. But I will not be disrespected or maligned. My ideas and opinions are my own. I have a right to believe what I believe. But know this: my empathy for you will stop the moment you attempt to deprive me of those things, or if you try to dehumanize me for having them. My faith in humanity at this point is gone. Gone. Don't give me another reason to justify that sentiment.

My perception has changed. I will not acknowledge Biden as our president, not because I think he stole the election, but because he will allow the same behavior we saw last night in Washington DC to spread throughout this country, while he eschews empty calls for "unity" and "healing." His condemnations of the violence will ultimately be hollow and empty.

I am not fooled. I will defy this trend. I will stand up for what I believe in.

Yep, only took your Dear Leader getting rejected at the ballot box to sent you tailspinning back into your extremist hate mode.

You are using a a handful of shitheads on the left that police will deal with to pigeonhole half the country and contort yourself into supporting Trump's deplorable refusal to conceed election that he clearly lost.

Trump's actions are not patriotic, these are actions of a self-absorbed despot wannabe and you are giving him a free-pass on it.

Has Joe Biden ever made a comment condemning the Brown Shirt tactics of Antifa, who consistently have
attacked patriots?
I haven't heard of any. And if he has, where has he backed those words up in any way at all?
