A lot of them crying about the verdict....I think the main reason they wanted a not guilty verdict is that they wanted to see riots across the country so they could say things like this is Bidens America, ANTIFA! Bad, BLM Bad!....etc

(412 posts)That is exactly correct. Would not put it past them and the very few people in law enforcement agreeing with them to try to stoke the racist flames again.

(1,989 posts)In my opinion they dont deserve to be called conservative. That is a label that they like, but in no way live.

(2,636 posts)Can they even identify what it is they are conserving?
They're not into conservation at all. They want to poison air and watersheds in the name of profit. They aren't conserving family values--Reagan, twice married, cheated on Jane Wyman with Nancy. GWB--alcoholic dry drunk who invaded a sovereign nation who never attacked the US. The Former guy? Thrice married, five children with three women, paid off porn stars, and credibly accused of sexual assault by dozens, buddy of known pedophile sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
Conservative means narrow minded religious bigot who supports a patriarchal police state where women and minorities are lesser beings there to serve the pasty old doughy white men who know they're inferior. Conservative means unable to discern reality from fantasy, lack of critical thinking skills, belief in myth, and denial of science.
Conservative means selfish, paranoid, fearful, dishonest, and easily duped.

(6,573 posts)I saw some RWers on Twitter saying that when Biden said he was praying for the "right verdict" it meant he was praying Chauvin would be acquitted because then there would be riots & Biden wanted riots.
These people live in a bizarre anti-reality.

(1,317 posts)They see this as another step in their erosion of White Privilege. I think they WANT white cops to be able to beat down POC without consequences, sort of like their proxies for keeping non-whites subdued.

(5,088 posts)These people feel that they have the authority of Deity over any other race. They feel that it is the natural order for whites to be the favored race and that only that race can achieve the level of intelligence needed to progress in this reality. Unfortunately, they fall into the Dunning Kruger Syndrome and are in fact one of the most dangerous elements of modern society. Yet, little is being done to remove this insane bias because... well, because the whites are basically in control of most everything. This could be corrected. But, you will have to remove the controlling elements of their 'power' before that. I suggest starting with removing the worship of that green piece of paper. Face it, when you control the means of social interaction (which is why the concept of 'currency' exists in the first place), you control society itself. Remove that control factor and things might start to change.

After yesterday's verdict, I can't imagine any BLM advocate damaging property as a result of the verdict...
Claire Oh Nette
(2,636 posts)The Portland Umbrella guy was a identified as having ties to white supremacists and hells angels. He brought a tool to shatter windows at Autozone in hopes of starting riots and race wars.
BLM marches in summer 2020 featured groups of local Black people, young men, trying to prevent individual actors from damaging property. The violence at the BLM marches came at the hands of Proud Boys and other groups looking for unrest so they could exercise violence.
The Right Wing is disappointed that no one died in the streets in protest because they can not fund raise off riots that didn't happen. It's all an extension of the COPS mentality--suburban white guys watching police raids on Black men from the safety of their own homes, and takin glee in other's suffering. They are sadists and sociopaths who want violence for violence's sake.
The Former guy made lawlessness and facism trend, but the real Anti Fascists, the American People, aren't having it any more.

(11,559 posts)I'd have said "Unbelievable," at one time, but at some point in the near-past, it has become incredibly believable. The ruination of a fair number of lives, one death and millions and millions of dollars wasted, all for a couple of photo ops and a sound bite or two?

(62,265 posts)They do not care about their fellow Americans. They don't want America to progress, to succeed, to be better. They want to keep America held back. It is the very DEFINITION of "conservative."

I am so sick of them after 63 years on this rock. They have made the world a more hurtful, horror filled and dirty place.
I see no redeeming values in a conservative political viewpoint. NONE at all.

(28,769 posts)they wanted a verdict that said Black Lives Do Not Matter. oh well.
you make a good point though. MTG I hear went ahead and called BLM the most dangerous terrorist organization in the country following the verdict with exactly NO evidence whatsoever.
