Progressives’ social weapon is to promote fake outrage. The left incorrectly thinks being a victim makes their voice louder.
It's why they jumped so quickly and incorrectly over the smiling Covington kids, Brett Kavanaugh, and of course the imaginary "MAGA Country!" Smollett attackers. They want to crucify the right so bad, they resort to grasping at straws. And not surprisingly, Harris, Booker, AOC and others will continue to move with impunity. It's what they do. And despite as horrible as Trump is, it's why they blue wave didn't really materialize like they thought. It's why they have little credibility with voters. They are the party of crying wolf.
You're conveniently ignoring decades of conservative fake outrage.
The war on Christmas? The war on religion? The war on marriage? Just mention abortion and you get foaming at the mouth. Global warming is an attack on capitalism and is redistribution of wealth. Universal healthcare is an attack on capitalism and is redistribution of wealth. Supporting farmers is an attack on capitalism and... well we should support our farmers and rural America. Immigrants are attacking our way of life and taking our jobs. Blacks are going to steal your woman - interracial marriage shouldn't be legalized.
Virtually every single conservative and Republican talking point in the past 5+ decades is about an attack on their way of life. The right has perfected fear-mongering and victimization. It's hilarious, but extremely sad, projection.
The left comes up with lofty ideals and goals which are semi-unrealistic. The right just doubles down on defense most of the time, which does win elections.
The MAGA-wearing conservatives may be getting punched in the mouth here and there, but they aren't getting lynched by the dozens or hundreds, getting tortured and set on fire for being gay, getting murdered for being trans, getting sterilized en masse for being native or being a woman, or any more of many horrific acts. Then you have the less lethal victimization, like not being able to vote, own land, get mortgages, marry someone you love, etc. etc.
Those liberals may step over the line sometimes, but they do have a history of being, you know,
actual victims
This may bethe biggest bunch of horsechips you have ever posted. You just made the most asinine analogy I have read in a very long time. Well liberals may be beating the chit out of people... but...but...but those other folks were doing it first. When somebody beats the chit out of you I don't think it really matters to them two figs what the other persons ideology was. Two wrongs will never make a right. The new defense from the crazy left wingers is... hey its no biggie if a few MAGA hat wearing people get their brains beat in... because... well... like... you know... fer sure them other folks did it waaaaaaaay before we did. By the way Holmes... what party was it that had all of the folks doing the lyinching waaaaay back in the day?

You seem to have a very short memory... Those beloved Democrats back in the day sure had some funny ways of showing their respect for their fellow man.
https://www.nationalreview.com/2015/06/ ... na-charen/ That beloved figure Robert Byrd... he was quite a guy wasn't he Holmes? Beloved Democrat former KKK leading icon of the Democrat party. If you want to tell the story grow a big pair of balls and tell the whole story.
You seem headed for Bandito territory cradle.
You seem headed for burying your head in the sand so you won't see stuff that you don't want to see. Tell me the truth then about Robert Byrd. Where am I misinformed about the Democratic icon? I don't compare myself to anyone. If someone say something I strongly disagree with I will express my opinion in my own way. That does not make me right or wrong. That is the neat thing about opinions that is all they are.
Just checking, but you really aren't Bandito, right??? We went through this nonsensical argument with him.
BTW, I'm a lifelong R. But from the Gen. Eisenhower, Nelson Rockefeller, Mac Mathias, Jack Kemp wing of the party.
We were on the opposite side of the Byrd element of the Dem party of his early era.
Unfortunately, that element moved to the GOP...and now are ascendant.
Pretty disgusting, IMO, whatever the party label.
