19 year old assaults 81 year old for Wearing MAGA Hat

And now AOC is trying to buy black votes with vague suggestions of reparations.
Adults know this will never fly. But it sells well to the naive.
Ocasio-Cortez calls for reparations: 'Until America tells the truth about itself, we're not going to heal' - The American Mirror

AOC is the type of person that will happily put in a knife and reopen the wound just to keep the conflict alive.

To the contrary, anyone espousing an ideology of hatred(the right) should be punished. There is no other effective way.

Are you serious? How do you define what constitutes "hate?" A "hateful ideology" is entirely subjective.

It's worked before. Funny how that works, innit?

Let me get this straight. You're bragging about punching people who disagree with you? Pathetic.

You could stand to get a little straighter, with your blissful ignorance of the situation at hand.

Like it or not you apparently don't trust legions of your fellow Leftists to make decisions.

I wouldn't call them my fellow leftists, but correct.

Just because we speak up for the poor and working class doesn't mean we don't desire to better our selves and follow career paths that don't involve hammers or sickles.

You could have worded that better. However, once past the awful execution, my answer is clear: why?

Or are you so jaded you fail to realize most people don't give on damn about left or right, are firmly in the middle, and tend to agree with many Democrat stances anyways?

False. However, that doesn't stop me from waving my fist in the air, falling to me knees, and asking the aforementioned question. Why?​

Who? When? So you could be persuaded to change your views, beliefs, opinions, values, etc. by someone punching you in the face?

The accused.

True. A lot of today's self-righteous liberal children (yes, I said children, because clearly they have not grown up) pretend like they are doing a service by "punching Nazis." Only to them, a "Nazi" is apparently anyone who disagrees with their views, or even just makes them feel uncomfortable. It's pathetic, really.

Hi....
You seem to repeatedly moan about 'liberals', and in the above post you criticise 'liberals' who are 'punching Nazis'.

And so I read that you think that 'a lot' of liberals are self-righteous immatures (children) who call all liberal critics 'Nazis'.

Have I got this right? That this is your opinion?

Do I detect a touch of extremism there?

Persuasion is not the point.

He did qualify it with "a lot of".

Persuasion is not the point.

Assaulting someone for different political views does have its risks.
1) Encourages the other side to behave the same. More violence all around.
2) Invites disproportionate response. Bad for your health.
3) Only effective with weaker & meeker people.
4) Gives succor & ammunition to those saying your type is violent & unreasonable.
5) Hypocrisy when criticizing the other side for misbehavior.

So did I!

Disgusting!
Apparently some bars and restaurants have banned MAGA hats because some people can't help but irrationally and violently lash out against people minding their own business.

Crazy indoctrination of youth.

I know, it's just emotional gratification that ultimately makes a victim and martyr out of the 'bad guy', leading to those like them to double down. It only serves to give ammo to the "other side". So no, behaving like a unruly punk does your political allegiances no favors.

Oh no!
Not with that KY?

There are a lot of them, yes. Doesn't mean they are a majority of liberals, but as far as numbers go, yes, there are a lot. Of course, I have at least as many criticisms of conservatives, as well.

I used to think @Woberts was fairly reasonable. So I'm wondering if he's just trolling us, or if he's really gone full ape s**t.

Fair enough.
Thankyou.

It's almost as bad as the weird, creepy anti-science/religious/jingoistic indoctrination that's perpetuated by many conservatives.
