There are certainly trouble makers on all sides, but filtering out these outliers and speaking to the rule rather than the exception, the left broadly subscribes to an authoritarian ideology that cherishes violence. This is an association which is historical and lauded. The left despises freedom and democracy. It has a time honored tradition of dressing up slavery as freedom. Case in point, the manufactured Russia investigation, the immigration hypocrisy, along with social treatment of Trump admin staffers. Etc.
This will get a lot worse before it gets better. I applaud your effort to engage in a discussion, unfortunately this isn't the place for building bridges. As you can see. Hopefully gazing into the minds of these radicals is proving informative for you and serves to sharpen your sense of the severity of these problems and what lies ahead. I wish you well and leave you with these links.
LOL. I clicked on the first few and it is funny how the Right Wing propaganda mill spins these incidents and blows them up as newsworthy. Because some Republican is running away from peaceful protesters exercising their 1st amendment right, that doesn't mean they're being "chased" - suggesting bodily harm is the intent.
Maybe if these Republicans weren't such snowflakes who were terrified of their own shadows, these situations could very well turn into cordial discussions between two human beings. I mean, who knows?
by the way, hot air? daily caller?
Also the notion that CeeBoo has any interest in "building bridges."

By the end of the riot The dead Chinese in Los Angeles were hanging at three places near the heart of the downtown business section of the city; from the wooden awning over the sidewalk in front of a carriage shop; from the sides of two “prairie schooners” parked on the street around the corner from the carriage shop; and from the cross-beam of a wide gate leading into a lumberyard a few blocks away from the other two locations. One of the victims was hanged without his trousers and minus a finger on his left hand.[4] Historian Paul de Falla wrote that the trousers were taken to get to his money, and his finger was cut to take a diamond ring.[4] The mob ransacked practically every Chinese-occupied building on the block and attacked or robbed nearly every resident. A total of 17 to 20 Chinese immigrant men were hanged by the mob.
LOL?
Can someone explain the joke?

Despite Trump having overwhelming Republican support for his nominee, isn't it interesting, out of all the people out there, which "conservatives" the media chooses to interview and bring onto its programs for sound bites. Nope. No bias. None whatsoever. Just honest reporting.
They're called #NeverTrumpers. A group of former or current Republicans who loath President Trump so much that every day in print and on TV is an exercise in the kind of vitriol that makes most Democrats look downright timid. First, who are the leading #NeverTrumpers? Here's your Top-10 in no particular order: Bill Kristol. Jennifer Rubin. George Will. Joe Scarborough. Steve Schmidt. Max Boot. David Frum. David Brooks. Bret Stephens. Ana Navarro.
If these names seem like they're more ubiquitous lately, it's because they are. Nary an hour goes by on cable news or Twitter or print media where you won't hear or find some hyperbolic statement regarding their unfiltered feelings about the president. And if you're a cable news executive or producer or online publisher, nothing in political punditry seems to make for headlines-grabbing TV or clickbait better than a Republican (or in Scarborough's, Schmidt's and Boot's case, former Republican) slamming a Republican president in the most deeply-of-personal terms that have little to do with tax cuts or ISIS strategy or Supreme Court nominees.

And you say I'm unhinged.
Trump didn't really do that much with the Unemployment rate being very low. The Unemployment rate dropped significantly under Obama's Presidency. Please See: viewtopic.php?p=1122627#p1122627

Yep, the dumbest memes ever. And I was referring to the two or three examples I clicked on where vocally protesting was listed as proof of physical violence on the left. The fact that the Republicans in these examples are terrified and running doesn't make the protesters violent, it just makes them scared little snowflakes.
