I think I’ve seen this before.

@Chilly Pepper  
Never heard of it before. Of course I WAS born in the late 80’s….

@Background Human  
Reminder that there was a character named Ralph Kane (in the bushes below) in Wait Till Your Father Gets Home (1972-74) that was put in to make the titular father, Harry Boyle, look rational in his conservatism compared to his neighbour’s politics.
 
 

 
_{… What? They reran it on Boomerang here in the U.S. before it went “blah”.}

Trump is trash

@Cyborg_pony  
Just a note guys the mods are considering locking the thread if we don’t knock it off.

@Cyborg_pony  
Other dude’s swinging a flag as a weapon. Black dude’s just better at Pokémon. Fire types beat pointy stick types.

@Background Human  
Well, i can’t personally blame him for trying to be that optimistic.

@Background Human  
Yeah, I think it was the ones throwing rocks, pepper spray, had clubs and specifically went there to attack people.
 
I wonder who that was

Okay, wow. I’d like to take a moment to apologize to all the right-wingers in this thread. Not because the po-po showed up (hi Derpy!), but because I just watched Trump’s press conference, ostensibly about infrastructure, and, uh… wow. Lot of choice quotes for the #FakeNews media to pore over over the next few days. My personal favorite: saying that there were “very fine people on both sides” of the rally. Now if he had said there were violent a-holes on both sides, or however you say that in Trumpese, I could certainly agree. But one side, the protesting side, was pretty much exclusively bad hombres. The normies were pretty much all on the counter-protesting side, along with the obligatory left-wing nut jobs. And yes, white supremacists et al. have every legal right to do their thing, assuming the paperwork is in order, but that doesn’t make them “very fine people” by any stretch of the imagination.
 
What I’m saying is, his support for the alt-right puts you guys in perspective.

@Fluttershy Studios  
oh I thought you WERE calling him Nazi because he held right wing views. I apologize.

@Shirani  
The Alt-Right has no definite form in most people’s minds, so whenever someone like LeoNero says something right-wing, there’s going to be persons naming that someone a Nazi or some other pejorative label.

@Shirani  
That you don’t know why what you said is antagonistic toward others and insulting is a problem, because it means you are likely to do it again. If you want to talk about it please PM me.

@Derpy Whooves  
Hey, if you’re here, that means someone reported something. Right?  
Unless you watch this place 24/7 with the others.

@Derpy Whooves  
Do you believe there is civil discussion at a political or religious thread?? Your faith is so big.

@Derpy Whooves  
Was just stopping by anyway.

@Derpy Whooves  
I haven’t called anyone names….we are just arguing or debating…

If everyone could please stop calling each other names or personally attacking each other that would be really awesome.

@Shirani  
@Cyborg_pony
 
It’s clear that you aren’t going to agree, but if you could please remain civil toward each other that would be appreciated.

@Shirani  
Yes, it’s certainly possible.

@HJSDGCE  
no. its still about the u.s.

@neutralgrey  
… Is this about Russia?

@neutralgrey  
on either side?

@Shirani  
Political leaders or military leaders in our country forming a faction with military power that’s antagonistic to the US.

@neutralgrey  
what would it take to get to that level out of curiosity?

@LeoNero  
I’m not surprised the Poles hate Nazis and Communists, after all their country was fucked by both.

@Cyborg_pony  
You’re right, it’s not the same thing. The factors are all different, the protestors in Venezuela have a clear target, the government.
 
In the US it’s different, the Charlottesville riot wasn’t between pro-government forces and anti-government forces, it was a fight between the far left and the far right, a fight between the people. This will cause more riots if not addressed but it’s not going to cause a civil war like the one we saw when in 1861
