    I’m not going to try to equate Democrats with MAGA cause they’re not the same. Trump poses a threat to democracy. But I’m not going to pretend that there aren’t a plethora of violent extremist on both sides. Moreso, the dangers don’t come from what they choose to wear or tattoos they get.

      Winner!

      Great, we’ve established “blue maga” is a complete nonsense term for something that doesn’t exist, because they are not the same.

      But I’m not going to pretend that there aren’t a plethora of violent extremist on both sides.

      Violence? Sure. Violence has existed throughout the history of humanity, its not going to disappear in a mere handful of years.

      Violent extremists? Lol no. You just posted up protests, including references to violent acts that had been found to have been committed by right wing maga extremists who were trying to start a race war. Their stupid idea, not mine, that was their intent.

      Please, list for me the violent extremist groups that are Democrat groups, equivalent to Patriot Front and the like.

      And then also see of you can pick out the difference in the reasons behind the violence, and who it was who initiated.

          You do realize blue MAGA is just a nickname? It isn’t saying that they are literally the same in this nonsense argument you’re trying to make.

          So its a nonsensical and stupid nickname, intended to create a false equivalency?

          I’m shocked. Just… Shook to the core.

          Are you really so blind that you think Seattle, Portland, etc are all ran by MAGA and that Antifa is a MAGA led operation?

          Please point to where that claim was made.

          Yeah, I can’t find it either, because that’s not what I said. Thanks for trying!

          You see how that works there? They prob don’t teach that in Hebrew school.

          Interesting mask off. What is “Hebrew school”, and why are you trying to use it as an insult?

            You know, I completely missed that part in the wall of text, holy crap!

            The antisemitism roots never disappear I guess. Including trying to use it as an insult to an irish catholic (raised, atheist now).

            So how many mandarin oranges do you think they get per comment? My guess is two comments to one mandarin orange.

            Edit: I’m just gonna…

            make sure thats clear for anyone reading later, when their boss asks them to edit it and they got docked 1/4 of that orange.
