How do you come about with the Fascist thing? What are they doing that is Fascist? It looks like they are taking advantage of the United States Constitution, particularly the FIRST AMENDMENT. Tell us again why you have a problem with that.
Oh, are you trying to compare those raised hands with the Bellamy Salute? Do you even know the roots of the Bellamy Salute?
Looks like they are holding up their FINGERS. Tell us again how you somehow refer to this as fascist. Do you even know what Fascism is?
@Ryderbike Obama divided America. The witch hunt against Trump divided America. And Biden was NOT legally elected president. And his incompetence has united independents and moderates, who are going to vote Democrats out of office this fall.
@BohemianBoo So you have a problem with people PEACEFULLY giving a one finger salute (that some on Twitter decided to call a Quanon salute) but you have no problem with THESE animals and their unique salute in blue cities across the fruited plain.

When did I say I had no problem with them?
[quote]people PEACEFULLY giving a one finger salute (that some on Twitter decided to call a Quanon salute)[/quote]
The one finger salute is a reference to the Qanon slogan "Where we go one we go all." Also, the music that Trump now plays at the end of his speeches is music that was made online by Qtards to be the theme of Qanon. Trump is leaning in to this, which is incredibly dangerous.
@BohemianBoo Has the music changed from the Rolling Stones "You Can't Always Get What You Want" theme? Trump's amazing campaign rallies would start with "God Bless the USA" by Lee Greenwood. (I guess you libs are threatened and triggered by that.) USA Today published this Ohio rally, but the background music sounds like regular Muzak. [media=https://youtu.be/kdYpcoJEwf4]
I looked up the title Wwg 1Wga. This is what it sounds like. [media=https://youtu.be/V6RUvHYuFec]
If you are suggesting this elevator music will somehow rouse crowds to riot, (when it sounds like it would put them to sleep), you have some serious emotional issues.
Oh, and America STILL has a thing called the FIRST AMENDMENT. The Ku Klux Klan was allowed to march in Jewish neighborhoods back when it was a Democrat terrorist group. (In those days, the KKK actually chose Supreme Court nominees for Democrat presidents.) Show me how Qanon can be anywhere near as dangerous as the rioting, church bombing KKK.
Or for that matter, show me Qanon doing THIS in a city.
@Reason10 You're strawmanning. I didn't say the music would cause people to riot. I said Trump is leaning in to Qanon, which is dangerous. Even more dangerous than average Trumpism.
@BohemianBoo Trumpism gave America the greatest economy of the 21st Century, energy independence, controlled southern borders and peace in the middle east. Qanon is just another group, not nearly as dangerous as ANTIFA, BLM or other Democrat Party goose stepping groups. If it bothers you that certain groups have a different opinion from yours, then you need to grow up and become an adult. Then again, show me ANY evidence that Qanon has ever perpetrated THIS anywhere.
We'll wait. Show us.
(Oh, and Qanon having OPINIONS you don't like does not rise to the level of the VIOLENCE from the Democrat terrorist groups)
@Reason10 [quote]Trumpism gave America the greatest economy of the 21st Century, energy independence, controlled southern borders and peace in the middle east.[/quote]
Nope. Trump inherited the economy from Obama and then destroyed it. We were never energy independent under Trump. Biden didn't change much of Trump's border policies. And there was no peace in the Middle East.
You're either lying or just parroting talking-points like a sheep.

I disagree with the Democrats, but I don't see them as being nearly as dangerous because they're not authoritarian and they live in reality. Qanon is fascist and they're completely disconnected from reality.
As for the rioting, consider this. All of the Democrats condemned violent protesting. However, the Republicans are constantly downplaying and even trying to justify 1/6. There's also more right-wing violence in America overall.
@BohemianBoo Nope. Trump inherited a tanked economy from Obama. https://www.realclearmarkets.com/articles/2020/09/10/trump_inherited_a_meek_economy_and_made_it_roar_576881.html [quote]When Obama left office in January 2017, there were 1.9 million more people unemployed than there were job openings. That’s a lot of people actively available to fill open positions. By March 2018, under Trump, job openings exceeded the number of people unemployed for the first time since the government began reporting such data in 2000. That remained the case for the next 24 months—until the Covid-19 pandemic and shutdowns—with job openings exceeding people unemployed by more than 1 million for 17 of those months.[/quote]
You're the liar here. I only give facts.
https://thepoliticalinsider.com/trump-inherited-recession-media-ignored/ [quote]There are a number of reasons why we know that to not be the case. For example, we can look at the Congressional Budget Office’s economic projections published during the Obama years for 2017 onward, and compare to them to actual economic growth under Trump. In 2016 Obama’s CBO projected that economic growth would be 2.2% in 2017, and 2.1% in 2018. In reality, growth did come in close at 2.3% in 2017, but that was before the Trump tax cuts were passed. Economic growth is expected to come in around 3% this year. And here’s something else to consider: Trump practically inherited a recession, because part of the economy did fall into recession in 2015 and 2016. Like me, however, you were probably unaware of that fact. And as it turns out, that’s because the media didn’t want to report on bad economic news as a presidential election came near. The New York Times finally acknowledged as much in an article headlined “The Most Important Least-Noticed Economic Event of the Decade.” Surely they must understand the irony, given that they were among the publications conveniently ignoring the “most important lest-noticed” economic event of the decade.[/quote]
@BohemianBoo Democrats live in reality? Are you high on meth? Humans somehow changing the climate of a planet? Girls deciding they can become boys? Men getting pregnant? Seriously, in saner times idiots like that would have been laughed out of the room. You left wingers have been living in the land of Oz for as long as I've known you.
@BohemianBoo BLM is fascist. ANTIFA is fascist. The Democrat Party is fascist. But I've got an open mind. Produce some PROOF that Qanon has ever done anything like this.
These Fascists are YOUR side of the aisle. PROVE that Qanon has done anything even remotely resembling this horror, or admit you are wrong. A or B.
@Reason10 The Political Insider is a fake news site, so we'll ignore that. https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/political-insider/
Real Clear Markets is pretty accurate, but look at what it says. Things improved under Trump, but then Trump destroyed the economy by failing to handle covid. And things were already on the incline under Obama. If Trump did absolutely nothing but take covid seriously, things would have kept improving. But he was too much of a fuck up to even handle that.

Alright, so you don't know what Fascism is.
Do some reading: https://www.openculture.com/2016/11/umberto-eco-makes-a-list-of-the-14-common-features-of-fascism.html
@Reason10 first step in a fascist movement is to undermine and attack all the institutions. Isn’t that what you are doing?
The press The courts Poll watchers Election officials Doctors Hospitals Scientists Generals DOJ Nato FBI CIA Post office Teachers Disney And the list goes on
@Ryderbike So fcking WHAT? It's called the FIRST AMENDMENT. Dial the hate back. That burning cross in your back year is going to spread and burn the whole trailer park down.
@Ryderbike Actually, LEGALLY ELECTED PRESIDENT TRUMP got the United States OUT of that Nazi scam. It was one of the more brilliant moments of his presidency. It was one of the things that helped make America energy independent. Only someone who hates America would ever want to go back to letting those limp wristed frogs dictate our carbon output.
@Ryderbike Actually, I'm maybe the most moderate poster here, and I'm a Rush Limbaugh/Ronald Reagan mainstream conservative. I may look extreme because the libs here are goose stepping Nazis and Communists. (Oh, and to educate you further, your predecessors the Nazi Germans were not the only ones who goose stepped. Both Soviet Union troops and North Korean troops goose stepped.
