People who think rationally. If you haven't read them, have a look. Some of those commenting are deranged.Scary for who?

The likes of Timsk and CV get annoyed with the raising of the racist flag but it's important to look at your flanks to see what kind of people are standing shoulder to shoulder with you in your rank and file.
They - some supporters of Trump may not be racist but every racist arayan daft ignorant white so called supremist joins the Trumpy line up.
I think some of those posts highlight the sickos and wackos and their pov very well.
They see and judge issues through the lens of race, us and them. Much less, if any thought based rational intelligent decision making considerations.
You beat me to it, c_v.Watch the vid in post 3027 then get back to us.

Anyone who thinks that that the extremist rhetoric just spews forth from Trump supporters and that the left are all pure as driven snow really needs to look at a more comprehensive and balanced range of news media. It strikes me that for every wacko on the right, they're matched by two or three on the left. As a general principle, one would do well to remember when looking at U.S. politics that the right have conservative values and, at the heart of those, lies law and order and respect for the police and the judicial system. On the left, to the wo/man they support BLM who, as we all know, want to remove the police and the judicial system. Exremist organisations like BLM will thrive under Biden which is why Trump's supporters are so agitated - amongst many other reasons.

So are the Trumpetors in the Capitol last week on the left or the right?the right have conservative values and, at the heart of those, lies law and order and respect for the police and the judicial system.
I think your missing the point.So are the Trumpetors in the Capitol last week on the left or the right?

Similarly, the vast majority of American people are decent people, who respect law and order, the police and the judicial system whether they be left or right inclined.peto,
Re-read my post - I'm not denying there are extremists on the right - of course there are. The point is that circa 70 million people voted for Trump and the vast majority of them will condemn last Wednesday's events just as I have done.
Tim.
Lets hope so.Similarly, the vast majority of American people are decent people, who respect law and order, the police and the judicial system whether they be left or right inclined.
True Jon, but my point (again!) is that rather more of those on the left support BLM than those on the right. You have only to look at what's been going on for the last four years in places like Portland, Oregon to see who the worst trouble makers are. And they ain't wearin' MAGA hats! Don't get me wrong, I acceopt and agree that there are idiots at both ends of the political spectrum; but Biden and the Dems have to accept their fair share of the blame - that's all. It's a two-way street.Similarly, the vast majority of American people are decent people, who respect law and order, the police and the judicial system whether they be left or right inclined.
Well I can mildly empathise with a mass of people who have been downtrodden for generations purely because they were born with a skin tone a few shades darker than others find acceptable.True Jon, but my point (again!) is that rather more of those on the left support BLM than those on the right.

And that means absolutely nothing to Trump with his fortune and all the side deals he's set up for his family internationally while in office.The Mayor of New York, Bill de Blasio, just announced that NY is breaking all contracts with the Trump organisation. That will mean a revenue loss for the organisation of approx $17 million p.a. Well done Bill🤣
I totally agree postie, only BLM isn't really about rectifying racial injustice and inequality - that's just a clever marketing ploy. Hats off to them - they've played that hand brilliantly. Such a shame that instead of being a force for good and helping to clear away pockets of racism where it still exists, they've managed to create division where previously there was none and undone much of the progress made over the last twenty to thirty years.Well I can mildly empathise with a mass of people who have been downtrodden for generations purely because they were born with a skin tone a few shades darker than others find acceptable.
Those 70million are represented by 211 Representatives who supposedly reflect their views. Yet only 10 of them considered causing the storming of the Capitol worthy of impeachment!peto,

The most there has ever been, to side with the opposition, on any impeachment vote.Those 70million are represented by 211 Representatives who supposedly reflect their views. Yet only 10 of them considered causing the storming of the Capitol worthy of impeachment!
