But I thought they were mostly peaceful protests? I mean you'd have to be some kind of terrible dictator to put an end to them. I thought that was like Tiananmin Square all over again?

Trump you have to use the military | image tagged in trump you have to use the military | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
No Tiananmen Square! Fortunately, mayors and governors around the country declined Trump’s invitation to use the heavy hand of the military to crush the protests/riots.

We are still America after all.

But you bet Trump and his lackeys in the media and right here on ImgFlip are milking the riots/protests (the lines between those two concepts are deliberately blurred) for all they’re worth.

The question is: Why?

Why does it make sense to count this significant civil unrest as a point in the President’s favor?

LBJ had the good sense not to stand for re-election in ‘68 over the Vietnam catastrophe and resulting civil disobedience. That was back when Presidents considered themselves accountable for things that happened in America.

Anywho: If you keep the same leadership, it stands to reason the same things will keep happening.

So now he's the bad guy again for trying to stop the riots? But he's also the bad guy for not stopping the riots...huh.
Man, I just have to say, I don't know how you do it. I felt so pathetic even pretending to use liberal logic. How do you live with that 24/7?

Trump George floyd | image tagged in trump george floyd | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
LOL

Let me break it down for you

Trump's a bad guy for his totally bungled and unsympathetic response to George Floyd, which included the threat of military force: he managed to avoid being an even worse guy on par with Chinese dictators by not following through with that insanity

Better would have been some kind of nationally televised speech urging reconciliation, including a full-throated endorsement of BLM and its goals

Hope that helps

BLM's goals huh? Marxist takeover. Getting rid of all police. Would you include shooting little girls on this list or is that for another one?

Racial Injustice
Police Brutality
Criminal Justice Reform
Black Immigration
Economic Injustice
LGBTQIA+ and Human Rights
Environmental Conditions
Voting Rights & Suppression
Healthcare
Government Corruption
Education
Commonsense Gun Laws

Oddly, I could not find anything about either a Marxist takeover or shooting little girls

What do environmental conditions have to do with being black?

Mm-hmm, actions speak louder than words

And people have priorities beyond their skin color: healthcare, government corruption -- there are a lot of things on that list that aren't necessarily race-related

But as it turns out, minorities are in fact more likely to be exposed to environmental toxins. Poverty, segregation, etc. are a few reasons for that

So if it's not about race, why say it is?
Skin color shouldn't be a priority, you know why? Cause all lives matter

Again, I refer you to the concept that black people are people and an organization by and for the advancement of black people can be about things other than race

As for All Lives Matter: I agree! It's an idea that could change the world!

But where is its organization?
What are its priorities?
What is it doing for real people these days?
Is it anything more than an empty slogan shouted in opposition to BLM?
3 ups, 4y
Well have you heard of pro-life organizations? Hmm, all lives matter, including those of the unborn. So there are numerous organizations, a clear priorities, and people actually doing things for other people under the premise that all lives matter.

This woman is not in her right mind.

If you want to get into a shooting match over batshit insane and racist things Trump and his supporters have said over the years, we can go there

For now it suffices to say crazy grassroots organizer lady in Toronto is not an Oval Office occupant

Yeah, Trump has never said anything nearing that. Yes, she is inconsequential but she's a part of a disgusting organization that you ignore, cuz black racism.
0 ups, 4y
It's true, as far as it goes, that Trump himself is not as unhinged as his worst supporters.

Here's one from a few weeks ago you may recall.

I don't always go for the shooting-match over who has crazier supporters but this one was too out-there to ignore.

Bottom-line: George Floyd's unlawful slaying in broad daylight was an outrage and helped solidify my feelings that black Americans are given a raw deal.

I wasn't always that way, at all, but the last few years and even the last few weeks have been a wake-up call. For me and for many.

I don't have to make up anything about Trump, verbatim quotes are perfectly sufficient. Two of which I've posted as memes already in this conversation: Here is a third

This quote did not age very well

As for our country: well, it'd be better off with him out of the Oval Office

In my opinion!

They're trying to paint all cops as evil so they can defund them. They're trying to victimize blacks. That's called a hoax.
2 ups, 4y
What Trump meant about a hoax is that the sleazy dems, after the failed Russian hoax, Kavanaugh hoax and Ukraine hoax, would politicize the covid pandemic, which they did.

Remember that Biden and the dems criticized Trump for closing travel from China, regardless of Kyle's gaslighting.
