I cannot stand idly by any longer

[TemplarKormac]

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 just fine with to contort yourself into supporting Trump's deplorable refusal to conceed election that he clearly lost. These are not actions of a patriot, these are actions of a self-absorbed despot wannabe.

"conceed"

You're funny. And if you aren't willing to dig deep to preserve the integrity of our election system, then you are nothing but ignorant and hypocritical.

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?

Short answer: No.

Long answer: No.

In between answer: No.

Posts on Facebook claim that Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has failed to condemn Antifa, the left-wing anti-fascist movement whose followers have used aggressive tactics including physical confrontations to intimidate groups they deem authoritarian or racist...

He hasn't said there are "very fine people" among them, that's for sure...

Trump's people and a horde of lawyers are DESPERATELY digging as hard they could, even going so far as offering 1 million dollars for credible election fraud claim.

You know what they've got so far? Right about NOTHING. All major lawsuits they brought got quickly dismmised as frivolous and baseless.

At what point do you say ok, I've seen enough, time to deal with reality that Trump lost fair and square.

A handful of shitheads on the left is a stupid reason to support Trump's deplorable refusal to conceed election he clearly lost. These are not actions of a patriot, these are actions of a self-absorbed despot wannabe.

Speaking of despot wannabes the fight for the presidency is NOT over (repeat, NOT OVER) no matter how many times you insist it is. Legal remedies to counter Biden's fraud still exist and they will be all employed.

They way you keep insisting Trump has to concede this election makes me think you are scared shitless
that Biden's Dominion fueled ballot box coup may not succeed like you want it to.

If you are confident the forces of darkness (beating down Trump supporters in the streets) won the presidency for Biden then why should you care if Trump fruitlessly attempts to change the course of the election with legally legitimate appeals?

You don't seem confident at all to me. You act frightened like a rabbit in a snare.

 

[BULLDOG]

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.

The digital fight? You mean you are going to flog it with your fingers? I doubt that would be a new tactic for you.

i will work against him and you

i will speak against him and you

i will vote against him and you

Do what you must, but don't be shocked when I fight back. Fear only holds one back for so long...

The attacks are way more pronounced in deep blue areas. Do not do any business in these areas as a start. You already know the Prog politicians, the police and the residents are against you. The Police are also not liked by the residents and the politicians who control them. There are many fine areas to live in. There is no Mayberry. But I rather live in something closer to that then a dystopian near wasteland.

Watching the filthy democrat scum in this forum stick up for their fascist Hitler-like violence, only reaffirms that which I already know, that Democrats are the enemy of America and need to be eradicated.

Interestingly, I have yet to see a liberal *YOU* dispute the fraud claims with anything except "denial" and angry lashing posts about how much you hate people like me. You aren't even attempting to defend your position. You aren't willing or able to say our election system is safe and secure for all Americans, free from fraud, free from tampering.

But wait, weren't Democrats like you the ones who used to fight for election integrity? What changed?

Fine. I will go on the offensive.

 

[Eric Arthur Blair]

It's over, the only thing that's left is rightwing's insane denial.

Afraid to let all the votes legally cast get counted? I can't blame you. Biden's campaign has cheated their asses off! And their violent bullies in Antifa are there to make sure dissenting opinions are crushed.

It smells like Germany, 1933.
