    I’m not going to try to equate Democrats with MAGA cause they’re not the same

    Winner!

    Great, we’ve established “blue maga” is a complete nonsense term for something that doesn’t exist, because they are not the same.

    But I’m not going to pretend that there aren’t a plethora of violent extremist on both sides.

    Violence? Sure. Violence has existed throughout the history of humanity, its not going to disappear in a mere handful of years.

    Violent extremists? Lol no. You just posted up protests, including references to violent acts that had been found to have been committed by right wing maga extremists who were trying to start a race war. Their stupid idea, not mine, that was their intent.

    Please, list for me the violent extremist groups that are Democrat groups, equivalent to Patriot Front and the like.

    And then also see of you can pick out the difference in the reasons behind the violence, and who it was who initiated.

      You do realize blue MAGA is just a nickname? It isn’t saying that they are literally the same in this nonsense argument you’re trying to make. Like you might say someone drank the Kool-Aid to refer to someone that acts like a cult member, but that doesn’t mean that they literally drank poisonous Kool-Aid poured by Jim Jones. You see how that works there? They prob don’t teach that in Hebrew school.

      Are you really so blind that you think Seattle, Portland, etc are all ran by MAGA and that Antifa is a MAGA led operation?

        Interesting mask off. What is “Hebrew school”, and why are you trying to use it as an insult?

          You know, I completely missed that part in the wall of text, holy crap!

          The antisemitism roots never disappear I guess. Including trying to use it as an insult to an irish catholic (raised, atheist now).

          So how many mandarin oranges do you think they get per comment? My guess is two comments to one mandarin orange.

          Edit: I’m just gonna…

          make sure thats clear for anyone reading later, when their boss asks them to edit it and they got docked 1/4 of that orange.

            Yeah, it’s just flat out racism.
            I love how he throws in Antifa at the end, too lol

              Especially about antifa being an “organization”, considering its, you know, completely decentralized groups.

              So very telling, every time

                    My friend, when I bit the bullet and had FB for a couple of years to keep in touch with a loved one who only had phone service when they were by free Wi-Fi, there were Black Bloc groups on there that used FB groups for organizing action. Then Zuc shut them down, and notably not other equally controversial groups. Please.

                    I can see it either way. It wasn’t the best word choice, but to me, the meaning was clear. It just seems like nitpicking, tbh.

        So its a nonsensical and stupid nickname, intended to create a false equivalency?

        I’m shocked. Just… Shook to the core.

        Are you really so blind that you think Seattle, Portland, etc are all ran by MAGA and that Antifa is a MAGA led operation?

        Please point to where that claim was made.

        Yeah, I can’t find it either, because that’s not what I said. Thanks for trying!
