Yeah ok... we'll just leave it at that.
You said Black Lives Matters grievances were GOOD and LEGIT. You said nothing of the Trump supporters and so I'm lead to believe A) You don't think their worries/concerns are "good" or "legit" OR B ) You simply don't care what they think.


As for Black Lives Matter, the organization (not the mere idea of Black Lives Mattering, which they do, and I agree with), the organization is a two headed snake for the Democrats it's first and foremost a slush fund for the DNC....how much money did BLM raise and where did that money go? It went from ActBlue directly to JOE BIDEN's campaign. Secondly it's an agitation group run by (and I'll quote BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors here) "We are trained Marxists", but perhaps that means little to you, it means a great deal to me. Furthermore in an interview with DemocracyNow! she said:
PATRISSE KHAN-CULLORS: Well, I’m a trained organizer. And so, I think sometimes people think that because Black Lives Matter is the biggest thing, that that’s the first thing I ever did. And it’s not. I was trained knocking on doors, you know, getting on buses and passing out flyers and getting people to join organizations. The Labor Community Strategy Center is my first political home. It’s where I would be a part of what it’s famous for, which is the Bus Riders Union.

JUAN GONZÁLEZ: Started by an old friend of mine, Eric Mann.

PATRISSE KHAN-CULLORS: Yes, Eric Mann. That’s my mentor.

Who is Eric Mann?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Mann
Mann and 24 other Weathermen were charged with conspiracy to commit murder after two bullets were fired through a window of the police headquarters on November 8, 1969. Mann surrendered to the police on four counts stemming from the November 8 incident: conspiracy to commit murder, assault with intent to commit murder, promotion of anarchy, and threatening.

Oh.....well he seems like a kind and decent person to have as a mentor. Not like the Weather Underground ever did anything with ill intent.


Marxists can't crack the United States on "class warfare" alone because in America you can move up and down the ladder as it were, you're not stopped at working class or middle class or upper middle class just because the government says "No" or a bank says "no" (though that seems to be changing as banks aren't allowing people with certain political views to use their services anymore). So they had to go the death by a thousand cuts route and use Critical Race Theory and Intersectionality in order to break and cripple this nation and it seems to me that THOSE people are winning and that's not a good thing for anyone.


But hey what do I know, I'm merely a straight white Christian man so I am so far down the "progressive stack" totem pole that nobody need pay attention to me nor heed my concerns for this or that. And I don't say all this to insult you, I don't say it to hurt your feelings, I don't say it out of anger or disgust or malice, I say it because I'm afraid not many people know or care about it when they should because the slippery slope of Marxism isn't a pretty one. Those literal COMMUNISTS cry out "Nazi! Nazi! Nazi!" at normal average Americans who have been taught full well the horrors of Nazi Germany, it's a real and visceral reaction one has to the word and for good reason. Meanwhile the term "Communist" carries no such weight, but I'd urge anyone and everyone to learn up on who they were and what they have done in the past and continue to do. The Gulag Archipelago is a good place to start, The Cultural Revolution (similar to what we're experiencing right here right now) is a good place to start.

The 4 olds have to be destroyed in order for the Communists to have their day: Old Ideas, Old Culture, Old Habits, and Old Customs.
