They are just freaking out over comments on the Internet and being encouraged to cost people their jobs for things they said.

Perfectly normal behavior but as long as they didn't break a window I guess.

You guys are so weird with the "your team" stuff. I don't have a team. 

If you are sitting here and think all Republicans are good and all Democrats are bad (or vice versa) based off some belief of a political alliance.....you are dopey and should have your right to vote revoked. 

Some Republican ideas are good. Some Democrat ideas are good. Some Republican ideas are bad. Some Democrat ideas are bad. Biden was an imperfect President. Trump is an imperfect President.

It's just amusing to me that people were freaking out over fires and window breaking (which obviouslyr- is idiotic to do, and destructive and is not a viable means of dissent in any society) and were saying "That is someone's livelihood." But when the Vice President says "If you see someone saying something bad about Kirk's murder than report them and get them fired" and there isn't a single peep. The VP of the US called for citizens to take away someone's livelihood because they thought Charlie Kirk might not be a saint (and he wasn't)

But you get to play "team" on a fantasy football message board. Grow the fook up

If I was a wokie, I'd say the reason there hasn't been riots over Kirk as there were for George Floyd is that:

1. The riots were the result of decades of perceived systemic oppression.  Kirk supporters may have only been perceived to be oppressed in the last what?  5 years?
2. The riots were a byproduct of protests against a system of power that wasn't represented by them.  If Kirk supporters were to protest, who would they be protesting against?  The leftist/anti-fascist folks don't have systemic power so rioting against system abuse would be rioting against themselves.

On the MAGA side, I'd say the riots didn't happen because the right hasn't weaponized riots for political gain, yet, and don't have the infrastructure in place to organize the protests to act as a powder keg

Ehhhhhhhhh.... Not so fast.

When you come down on the same side of every issue, you're on the team.  

But I have openings on the "both sides can fock themselves" team if you're interested.  I'm going to need you to sh¡t on the wokies some, too, though.

You're forgetting the biggest reason IMO: The Floyd murder occurred at the perfect moment: beginning of the summer, people are out of work, furloughed, sick, scared, watching thousands of their countrymen die at the hands of a basically unknown disease. People were mad, across the political spectrum, about lots of things. The whole country was a tinderbox in that little sliver of time. Floyd's murder, caught on video, was the lit match.

They're so tribal.  It's how they've been trained.  Listen to their leaders, us v them, good v evil.

You hear it here all the time.  "The left" did this or "The left" did that.  

"You guys killed Charlie Kirk", nah bruh, I had nothing to do with it.

They're pawns.

The truth is we're Americans and 80% of us actually fall in the middle.  We believe in fairness and decency, we want to raise our families, live our lives in peace, we want to earn a living, we want to be happy and successful.

Correct. This cult of "own the libs" bs with Trump as the leader is literally dangerous.

Don't worship another person. It's pathetic, and it leads to one place.

Someone says Trump's the better choice because of his policies? Totally get that. But this cult worship, tribal, hyper-partisan, self-identification with a politician? The idea that "owning the libs!" or whatever is somehow the best end goal for government? Mentally unhealthy and leads to violence. Factually state your policies, and leave this emotional "belonging to a group" stuff behind.
