Don't be so obtuse, Jolly. Phibes knows the difference and has unequivocally stated that he is repulsed by the violent fanaticism on both left and right.
A second difference is that the violent fanaticism on the left, which in many cases is actually worse than that on the right, was not egged on by a former or current President of the United States.
The fact that people cannot bring themselves to condemn this individual is pretty close to being tacit approval of the violence that took place in the Capitol.
To call these people 'conservatives' is an insult to a great political tradition.
Wokeism and anti-racism have absolutely been condoned by current and former presidents. I was particularly dismayed when GWB wrote an essay on systemic racism in the wake of George Floyd. It goes without saying that the Obamas, especially Michelle, are completely on board with the systemic racism narrative.
As for Trump, I think he went too hard on the election theft thing, in service of his inability to admit to losing. Some doofi took that as permission to enter the Capitol, through unguarded, unlocked doors. Trump immediately told them to go home, and immediately made clear that the rule of law must exist. As it does not, to this day, in Portland.
Bullshit. There are eyewitness accounts that he reveled in the stampede and took great joy watching it and couldnt understand why his aides looked on in horror. He only made statements long after the horses broke out of the barn due to the pressure of virtually everyone , his daughter, aides, congressmen telling him to say something to quell it. The guy is a monster. And anyone who has any respect for him still, is a fucking partisan idiot

I see that the thread has deteriorated beyond its customary level of rude crudity. Makes ya proud, don't it?
Sock: I often agree with much of what you say. What I don't love is the posture in which you say it -- that is, with the intention of coming in here solely to re-educate the constipated morons in TNCR. I'd like you to believe that there are quite a few very smart people here, and to dial down the superior attitude. Often it is unwarranted.

This is obviously true.
But, only because of the TDS rule: "Whatever anyone says about Mr. Trump is true"
If someone makes up a story about an unnamed eyewitness, that is even more true.

That's been the bulk of statements made about him. All anonymous.

Apparently you know more about the facts than I do.
In all fairness, you yourself admitted that you ignore past facts, and ridiculed Renauda for placing value in them. So your comment, however sarcastic, is true.
I think you quoted the wrong guy, but literally I never admitted to ignoring past facts. I admitted to thinking twice and thrice when someone historical name drops as if they have some deep knowledge of some deep concept that applies directly to our current lives. I'm very confident that such stuff tends to be BS. People are drawn to it because people are learners. Good for them. But they want it to mean more than it actually does.

Actually they do not want it to mean anything more than what it is, an event or series of past events. Like literature, history describes the world as it has been created by the human condition. It is not about anything else.
You are correct though people are learners. They learn from experience.
If you don't like it or find it offensive, I suggest you stop reading my posts.
