Well, as others have stated (I don't have a dog in this race as I'm for Jo Jorgensen) - those aren't "liberals" - they're extreme leftists, just like the extreme rightists that tried to run a Biden bus off the road in TX.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaand in case you weren't paying attention... NONE of this shit was happening before Trump was in office. So I have no clue how you come to the conclusion that re-electing him will not make it infinitely worse.

Yeah, let's just be blackmailed into voting for a particular candidate because if we don't, violence will get worse! That's not at ALL exactly what the mafia does. Fuck them, re-elect trump and smash their dumbass violent idiotic "protests". They hate joe biden too. The mega-far-left mayor of portland attempted to come out and be a man of the people and protest WITH them, and they even called HIM a fascist. They are deranged retards and they need to be dealt with by massive amounts of law enforcement, because we live in a civil society.

So you want literal gestapo to arrest and "smash" their protests?

Yea that's not authoritarian/fascist at all.

The lack of awareness is fucking astounding. Well done!

*side note: it is hilarious seeing "Defund the police" protesters running to the police for protection from alt-righters... that's good stuff

Haha, literal "gestapo". Good lord, where do you get this shit.

No, I don't want peaceful protesters to be arrested, they have a right to protest anything they want, peacefully. I am talking about the non-peaceful rioters who are smashing private property, beating random people, and being allowed to take over entire city blocks and blackmail innocent (often minority) business owners into supporting them. Fuck those people. And you doofuses always bookend your ideas with how everyone else but you has a "lack of self awareness". Jesus christ talk about projection.

Escalating the use of force serves the interests of authoritarians on both extremes to the detriment of civil society.

So is your answer to let the extremes continue doing what they're doing? I'd prefer to find some sort of middle ground between letting rioters/vandals/looters continue doing what they are doing VS throwing all of them in the brig but "middle ground" doesn't seem to exist.

One of my friends posted this about a protest from his town. It's the closest thing to a "middle ground" that I've seen but even this is preventing extremists from doing what they really want to do: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6KaDIlg4DA

If somebody showed up at your house demanding that you say certain words or else they will begin smashing your house and endangering your life and the lives of your loved ones, what would you do? Let them?

Oh that's right, you'd call the cops. I am simply advocating that people who are breaking fundamental laws should be punished, I know it's controversial but just try to comprehend my radical idea.

We live in a society and preserving peace is a higher priority than punishing misdemeanors.

Hard to say it right.
