*sigh* The George Floyd protests BECAME about "toppling the government." They continued even after the conviction of Derek Chauvin, who was in fact a murderer by any objective review of the evidence, but they STOPPED as soon as Biden was elected. There have been more blacks killed by police in 2021 then there were at any time in our nation's history including any year Trump was in office. Where were the protests? It's like this started in 2014 when Obama was in office, went away when the memo went out that it was just embarrassing Obama, who clearly had no plans to DO anything about the issue, and was kept in reserve while Trump actually DID something about criminal justice reform, and brought out again in 2020 in the middle of a pandemic and an election year. You're not going to convince me that between 2014 and 2020 there wasn't ONE incident of police brutality worthy of mass protest. And when the protests started initially EVERYONE was on board. Sometime after the police station was burned down half of America started having second thoughts. Here is the truth. In both protests there were people who were peacefully protesting over legitimate concerns. And there were people who were NOT peaceful that deserved to be arrested. And sadly NEITHER side will admit this! Both sides say "That was 100% the infiltrators!" Yeah....I don't believe that. In every group there are actual knuckleheads. And the Oathkeepers legal defense hinges on the argument that Trump was going to turn them into his personal presidential militia. Now before someone says "Hell yeah"....that's kind of proof of the "insurrection" argument. On the flip side there were innocent people like Dr. Simone Gold who simply believed the election was rigged and wanted her voice heard. Poor Ashli Babbitt got herself caught up in the moment. That situation WAS dangerous whether she was armed and/or dangerous or not. I could easily see a situation where somehow Trump got elected, Antifa stormed the building, and a black Ashli Babbitt got killed. Tucker Carlson and the rest of Fox would be all "Well...that was a dangerous situation, she crawled threw a smashed window of a police barricade, it's unfortunate but the President and Congress had to be protected. There were pipe bombs found that day. She had a backpack. Case closed." And CNN and MSNBC would has all been "This is terrible! She was murdered in cold blood for peaceful protesting! All she had was a backpack!" And anyone that can't see that is biased as hell. I saw Gutfield on Fox claim that Jacob Blake "deserved" to be shot after he had dropped the knife, was walking away from the police and trying to get in his car with his kids. Not it was unfortunate, but he "deserved" it. People on both sides of the political divide make excuses for the wrong their side does and focuses almost exclusively on the wrong the other side does. People talk about civil war and "peaceful separation." Well then the country should be divided into THREE parts, not just two. The left, the right, and those of us that want nothing to do with any of you.
