It is like how they stupidly approach so many things - they just assume that things work the way they… in their tiny little minds… imagine them to work … they are too mentally lazy to explore for the truth - they use their half-assed self absorbed intuitive thinking to embrace some view of how it “ought-a work” …and then they get haughty & enraged when reality does not conform to their preconceived notions.

Not really a protest. More like a large organizational meeting and pep rally. And they need a safe space in which to get each other worked up.

Blood will be spilled eventually (1/6 was too remote). How much is needed to shock people into sensibility is the question.

I find these dumfuggs cannot go 5 minutes without complaining about govt or millenials. Everything sucks, and it is all someone else’s fault, and they will tell you within the first 5-10 minutes of meeting them. Taxes, potholes, teachers, schools…even if they don’t jump right into talking about masks, pandemics, Chump, etc.

That is how ye shall know them…if somehow they are otherwise camoflaged.

Note to reporters: Always use video. Have your associates record any and all license plates.

Yeah they are going to need to have backup folks who are recording and live sending the info to a secure site and a sign held up saying as much. And maybe saying, we are cruising the parking lot getting license plates as we speak. And bullet proof vests

… when ever likely to encounter a hostile & volatile band of idiots - have someone video the person taking the primary video …

Same story, different day. Thanks TPM!

And Gianforte is now GOVERNOR of Montana.

Explain again how we’re not already lost.

Oh, that was the police supported Proud Boy rally wasn’t it? Where they used their water bottles as weapons.

Lately, the reason they gather is to share grievance and establish peer support.
Their events are essentially just whiner-fellowship rallies now, and “The Media” is among the worst of their perceived enemies. So it makes sense they’d attack a reporter, who would represent the one outsider in their ranks.
I don’t agree the Union is at risk.
But we may suffer longer than necessary at Republican hands if we don’t make 2022 even more important than 2020.
Honestly, I figured if we beat Trump, it would be over. Lots of whining, sure, but I did not expect the durability of The Big Lie and the difficulty The Big Truth has overcoming it.
I still blame FOX.
When people isolate themselves so zealously into exclusive social-media sub-cultures and peer groups, without the voice of reason mixed into the lies, their only aspect is the falsehoods they have been fed.
They have no alternatives to ponder because they live in their Redworld exclusively.
Hard to know the truth when you never hear it.

Contrast this reporter’s bravery in operating openly and aboveboard with what the lying sneaks at Project “Veritas” do. Right on, Mr Actual Reporter doing your honest job. You got the goods on this unhinged mob, the right way.
