This theme about the violence on the streets is all in democratic run cities is illogical. By virtue of the fact that people have the good sense to vote blue means that they will also be more civically engaged than the trump cult swamp monsters that dwell in republican areas of America. Those people have shown they will only march to intimidate people who do not agree with them, to wave their guns around and be very very nazi. The right wing loves a bit of unrest when they are waving their slave flags on the back of trucks plastered with cult stickers shouting blues lives matter as a white supremacist dog whistle. They just dont like it when the shoe is on the other foot.
And so, of course they are demonstrating in democratic cities, where else are they supposed to do it? Maybe they should do what the real trouble makers and boogaloos are doing and bus themselves into republican run cities to demonstrate, the way the far right is busy bussing themselves into Portland & Kenosha, waving their guns about, killing and intimidating the local population even as one of them ends up dead as a result. I think we all know who is the real danger to America
and it is not those using their first amendment rights to demonstrate in democratic run cities.
