This post reveals a lot about the republican political world view. Protestors in the streets after police killings aren't worried about the "right", their activism is around preventing police violence. The same goes for the protestors pushing for a $15 minimum wage, again these protestors want people to get paid more, it has nothing to do with the right. The people who support action on climate change aren't doing because the "right" opposes it. They believe climate change will be bad for the world and people. But so much of republican political ideology is based on being against some other group of Americans( the left, black people, muslims, Latinos, poor, single moms, etc), that its poisonous.
So should we expect in the future on every issue the Left wants if they don't get their way they'll take to the streets in protest, looting, burning, assaulting, murdering if necessary until their demands are met?
The looting, burning, assaulting, and murdering is not really the aim of protests.
I have no problem with increasing the minimum wage. But my question remains, if the Left sees progress by acts of violence as legitimate, should we expect on every issue the Left advocates protests that devolve into looting, burning, assaults, etc?
What about the green party does it terrify them? They exist too.

Have no problem with protestors, have at it. It’s rioting that’s the problem.
Okay go ahead and demand a $15 minimum wage, price more people out of the market place. You don’t understand what real wage growth takes or is, you use the iron fist of government to haphazardly try to help people to the benefit of some and the detriment of others. In Texas I believe minimum wage is $7.25, I haven’t seen a single job offering minimum wage in a long time. If you want workers you have to pay them dollars more per hour, like at least $10.50, that’s what the market will bare and what you have to pay to keep people. This was years ago as well, it’s probably more then this now. You do not have to stay at a job that isn’t compensating you well enough, you are free to find other work.
Okay then why aren’t they condemning China and other industrializing nations like India. No it’s targeted hatred toward America. It’s giving up america sovereignty to international politics, without following the treaty clause of our constitution. It’s iron fisted left wing tyranny unmoored from the constitution that I disagree with.
Your post reveals a lot about your ignorance of the other side and your unwillingness to step out of r/politics and into the real world. To educate yourself instead of reading nothing but the propaganda of the day. So much of left wing power is based on being against the greatest country mankind has ever built, the engine of global democracy and prosperity.
Yeah sure. I am certain that some people who are in the green party are threatened by black political power
So its not just Republicans. Its republicans and green party. What about libertarians are they scared too?
Yes but they'll only accept fake 20s
I mean I really don't care what you think about politics. So believe whatever conspiracies and misinformation you want about the minimum wage, protests against police violence. or climate change. My point was that the people who are for those things aren't doing it because they are against the right. Who has "left wing" power in America? Who are you talking about that's against America?
Just came back from Branson, Missouri and all up and down the strip were signs advertising for help at $13/hr. All were food service or amusement ride type jobs and the tourist season hasn't even began yet. Even UPS can't fill Union jobs for $15/hr with benefits and a pension and a hope of a $100k/yr job down the road.
ing bozos. Wish they'd swallow a bottle of fentanyl and jump off a bridge. Absolute cancer. These clowns are a blight on the world. HONK HONK!
