Clean-up complete, many slaps were given. I'd like the thread to continue on-topic. Religious arguments are not political arguments - if you don't have a legal, secular argument then you don't have an argument at all. With that being said, let's not denigrate each other's religions either.

I'm going to put on my blindfold now. If I hear any gamer words, any "-tards", or any flaming/trolling whatsoever, I'm going to shoot first and ask questions later until one of three outcomes takes place - the users in this thread are corralled into a peaceful, polite discussion, the trouble makers reach suspension levels or we reach the 20th and I personally close this thread. This appears to be the only effective way to deal with you. Good luck.

The BLM riots were started because a drug addict overdosed and died while being restrained for resisting arrest

BLM has been going since 2013 because people keep getting let off after killing black people. George Floyd being just one in a long line.

Floyd had complained about being unable to breathe prior to being on the ground, but after being restrained he became more distressed, and continued to complain about breathing difficulties, the knee in his neck, and expressed the fear he was about to die and called for his mother.[7] After several minutes passed Floyd stopped speaking.[7] For a further two minutes,[12] he lay motionless and officer Kueng found no pulse when urged to check.[13][14] Despite this Chauvin refused pleas to lift his knee until medics told him to.[15]:7:30

It doesn't seem to tie up with your simplistic understanding of what happened.

and consisted of criminals who looted stores, burnt down buildings, took over parts of cities, murdered and raped people and wanted the police defunded. I'm not sorry that I find that anti-American.

I think you're exaggerating what can be attributed to the BLM movement.

There's no difference between killing normal citizens compared to kill government officials.
*Snip*

Ah yes. No difference
If there wasn't a difference then why does the government usually in circumstances of public events take certain members of congress of the campus to make sure that if some catastrophe where to happen that not all members are dead.
Your own argument makes no god damn sense.
The difference is the bombs weren't used compared to the BLM riots where many devices were used to mame and kill.
1. state your source for that buddy. Can't just go calling a group, "mame and kill" without substantial evidence.
I already proved it in mine with the links I provided. One was pipe bombs, the other was maga chanting kill mike pence.
2. It doesn't matter if it wasn't used. The intent was still there, and again, it wasn't one person. Since I highly doubt the massive group didn't know, meaning many people were complicit with the idea and desire to bomb the capital.
If I placed a bomb in your home. Even if it didn't go off. I would be charged for attempted murder.

I think there is a difference between prioritizing those to save when you can't save anyone and whether killing one person or another is different.

Some people do have their own order though it seems, with white children at the top and black men at the bottom.

But he is crazy for pushing the idea of BLM riots being full of armed black men running around murdering and raping women, but that is just a repeat of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilmington_insurrection_of_1898

well he was arguing " There's no difference between killing normal citizens compared to kill government officials."
There is. One group was democratically elected, and hold positions of power. The other (normal people) isn't.

...Considering this huuuuge division between left and right in pretty much all over the internet, USA residents, I have a question.

Is it all this tense, in real life and in person?
It can be, yeah. All the anti-masker and Karen videos out there attest to that. Trump gave people permission to be the worst version of themselves, and I never in my lifetime thought I'd see a president politicize a fucking virus. All the boomers who once told us, "don't believe everything you read on the internet," now believe everything they read on the internet. Even when it's not tense, shit's getting real weird down here. Please send help, even if it's in the form of maple syrup.

Can't wait for the inauguration on the 20th so that I can close this thread forever. I'm away for one day and I don't even know where to start.
Only for someone to open an inauguration thread?

Ok, I think just about all intellectual discussion is dead when Conservapedia is being cited. I am not even reading that mess.
Should I risk my sanity and browse this site?

Was that supposed to be a joke, because the last four years the only ones who're laughing were the Party that won.
Bargaining would entail unpreparedness for the outcome, which only amateurs would assume their senior members are.

It has to be said, the are a lot of butthurts that I'm pointing out a fact; how is that any different than what the Right supporters are feeling now.

People who can't see the intelligence of their counterparts are as shallow as their own vision.
That is more so in Politics, especially when amateurs can't see the cycle and don't understand that to get anything past is to have both come to a mutual agreement.

It takes understanding and cooperation to achieve that which, by definition, means that the counterpart is initially not of the same position nor with the same goal.

But you do you and that Couch Politician thing you have going.

ladies and gentlemen, we got him

cool we're at the bargaining stage

If only trolls would abstain from posting ridiculous things without facts...

No amount of Maple Syrup, Poutine and apologetic gestures can help clean up the mess your President has unleashed.

I love poutine and maple syrup, just separately. Let's hope Joe Biden works things out with Canada too... It seems Trump wasn't very kind to those Canadians up north.

You Canadians must be feeling real good about yourselves not having to deal with this bullshit

You'd think so but there are Trump supporters here. In Québec.
Some are sane, majority are conspiratonists.
COVID-19, nationalism and political propaganda has bought them
out of their hiding.
Trumpism has truly become an idealogy.

Indeed, he was not. But our pain is paltry compared to yours.
