This changes nothing. Spend that political capital lefties. Lord knows the people in washington refuse to. You couldnt force me at gun point to support the GOP.

    I’ve seen a couple. They were getting burned. Nothing about it helps their cause any. They’re declaring themselves enemies of America. Brain dead.

      What’s brain dead is thinking people only have a right to free speech if it fits what you think their optics should be.

      Anyone who wouldn’t support the burning of an American flag is an enemy of the US Constitution.

      You’ve got little concept of what their cause is. Their cause is “you’ve pushed us to the breaking point and this society is no longer worth enabling, the social contract is dead.” It’s not to make the liberals sad, it’s to hit everyone who wants to enable the system through disruption until their grievances are acknowledged. That’s always been the method of even the most peaceful of successful protest movements. The entire point is to flex political power(and I’m not talking about voting here), not hope some liberal gives them thoughts and prayers.

        If you truly think that, that it’s so bad that the social contract is broken, then leave LA. Simple.

          “Just become a refugee if it’s so bad, don’t attempt political change. Or maybe just commit suicide.” There’s a reason nobody’s actually giving a shit that you’re not going to lend your support to them. It’s always been obvious that your types are the ones that need to feel the disruption because empathy isn’t a language you understand.
