I'm just rendering a guess that you one of the crowd that can't see the damage Trump is doing to the American democracy yet raged on Obama for wearing a tan suit or taking his suit jacket off in the Oval. This single minded, Fox and Friends fueled, "marxist" laden talking point nonsense tells me clearly that your rant is nothing more than the outcome of effective propaganda, not well conceived independent thought. As soon as you start ranting about "the Democrats" as marxist, you've lost the argument.

I'd also ask you to do your research before you start laying down this simplistic drivel about "if you want more riots and looting go with the Democrats". This is such foolishness.... and shows you're just parroting Fox and Trump, not looking at the wealth of data that shows that CBP agents turned a normalizing situation into something worse for political gain. You'd discover that in a number of cases, right wing agitators were responsible for turning peaceful protests into riots, not BLM or "marxists".

Or you could seek to understand why people riot. You could seek to understand systemic injustices that bubble up into anger. This isn't accepting or justifying or accepting rioting... but nor is it chalking it all up to the mythical ANTIFA boogeyman y'all Fox Newsers want to so you can dismiss the half of the country that doesn't vote and think like you.
