Minneapolis Burning

You think? Fucking idiots.

There's also lots of hubbub that Dems are worried the continued violence combined with Dems taking a supportive position (Biden hasn't said shit) is costing them votes.
Which is why they're pushing the meme that AKSHUALLY it's white supremacists stirring up the violence and looting. Just like in Louisville, where a black gang member shot himself with his own gun, the headlines become:
Two members of Black militia NFAC shot at Louisville BLM protest before face-off with right-wingers

Yeah, I've noticed a sudden surge in stories blaming white supremacists for all the violence with absolutely zero evidence presented.

Even the umbrella man one is horseshit. He was being confronted by protesters trying to stop him. It's on fucking video. Yet, we're supposed to believe his actions, and his actions alone sparked all the rioting? Horseshit.

Those aren't white supremacists in Portland using black umbrellas en masse to hide their identities as they attack the police with weapons distributed within the crowd.

Someone gets booted off a flight for offensive mask.

Posting this because shockingly it's not a blatantly racist white person!

Never heard the phrase 12 to refer to cops before, is that a thing?

Yeah. "Fuck 12" has been spray painted all over by the protesters.

Started in Atlanta and has to do with either Adam 12, the TV show, or some narcotics unit.

Police return fire in Chicago.

Why are we still letting these riots go on?

Why are they only happening in Democratic strongholds?

Can you name a large city that isn't Democratic (from memory)?

Portland's always smaller than I remember.

Columbus? Austin? Juneau? These are all guesses.

Also, it's not just cities, they're all still occurring in blue states. New York, Oregon, Washington, Illinois, etc.

Columbus is Democratic, ranked 14th.

Austin, 11th, also Democratic.

Juneau is not in the top 50, and the mayor is listed as "non-partisan"

Jacksonville? Charlotte? No idea.

Also, my other point still stands.

Jacksonville! Which I was surprised to learn is the 12th largest city in the US.

Charlotte - Democrat, #17.

But, it matters, because you could choose the cities at random, and still come up with Democrats, because 23 of the 30 largest cities (5 Republican, 2 Independent) are.
