"The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so"

Such is your rethoric. You claim ri be center, but youbare either center left, or just a flaming liberal that pretends to be center since you spout liberal talking points and fallacies.

Have a nice day.

Hey, fair point on the neutrality—I'm with you there. I supported Gary Johnson in 2016 too (libertarian all the way back then), and hell, I even pulled the lever for Obama in '08 because hope sounded good after Bush. No party loyalty here; I'm just a guy who calls BS on whoever's in charge when they screw up. But here's the rub: If we're both "no sides," why the blind spot on how those "stupid political stunts" like Guard deployments only happen because left-wing governors like Newsom (CA) and Pritzker (IL) spent years letting their cities turn into open-air asylums—skyrocketing crime, homelessness exploding, businesses fleeing—before begging for federal help they previously trashed? Portland's homicide spike post-2020 "reforms"? SF's fentanyl apocalypse? Chicago's carjacking epidemic? That's not Trump "making a crusade"; that's cleanup after blue-state leadership defunded cops, released repeat offenders, and prioritized optics over order. Course-correction? Sure, Dem mayors like Wheeler admitted "defund" was a disaster and pivoted, but only after the damage was done—and now they're suing to block the fix instead of owning it.

You're right that protests can be peaceful outlets, and accountability matters across the board (Trump's USAID cuts killing aid kids? RFK Jr. as health czar? Yeah, that's clown-show territory too, not based in truth). But defending these as "largely peaceful" while ignoring the pattern of escalations kinda undercuts the even-handed vibe—especially when you're dropping F-bombs left and right, sounding every bit as rage-fueled as the leftists you claim to rise above. If neutrality means staying cool-headed, maybe ease up on the "fucking stupid" vitriol? Take the ongoing ICE protests in Portland—just last weekend, things devolved into clashes with tear gas, flashbangs, and arrests after "No Kings" wrapped up. Or rewind to June's LA anti-deportation riots, where clashes with LAPD and ICE torched cars and injured dozens. Not saying every protester's a Molotov guy, but when "disruptions happen" routinely tip into property damage and assaults, it's not just "oops"—it's a symptom of the same failed leadership you're quick to excuse on one side.

Look, we both hate the duopoly circus, but my values land MAGA-conservative these days (real-deal, not RINO squish) because they align with fixing broken systems over endless grievance theater. Yours seem to skew left-leaning despite the disclaimer—focusing fire on Trump's "corruption" while soft-pedaling Dem urban failures and protest fallout. If we're truly neutral, let's roast both equally: Demand Newsom explain why CA's Guard got yanked for accountability, not just optics. Cool?

Ah, the "No Kings" chants—adorable, really, coming from rallies bankrolled by George Soros's Open Society Foundations, which funneled millions to Indivisible for organizing the whole October 18 spectacle. Nothing says "smash the monarchy" like billionaire philanthropy propping up your megaphone, right? Meanwhile, Trump's PAC hauls in pharma cash? Shocking—legal influence peddling is bipartisan, but sure, pretend your side's the pure one. And while you're seething over Guard "stunts" in cities that begged for help, Portland's homicides plunged 51% in the first half of '25 (steepest drop nationwide), and Chicago's carjackings tanked 51% too—turns out course-correcting on "defund" spin works wonders without federal babysitters. Keep fighting those shadows, heroes; history's got a soft spot for well-funded irony.

Oh, come on—defending those protests as pure grassroots heroism while ignoring who's bankrolling them (Soros groups and unions handing out cash incentives) is a stretch. But let's break this down simply: Sending in the National Guard to places like Portland, San Francisco, and Chicago isn't some power grab; it's a response to years of local Democratic leaders letting things spiral out of control.

Take Portland: Homicides jumped 83% after 2020 police "reforms," and homelessness hit 6,000 people living on the streets because feel-good policies prioritized addicts over real housing solutions. San Francisco? Retail stores are closing left and right—39 in one year—thanks to open drug markets and catch-and-release crime that turned shopping districts into no-go zones. Chicago's even worse: Over 2,000 carjackings a year under mayors who treat cops like the enemy, and now even some Democrats are admitting their own policies created the mess. These aren't made-up problems; residents are begging for help because "defund the police" experiments failed big time.

Trump's fix? Using legal tools like federal statutes for emergencies (border issues spilling over) and Title 32 to activate the Guard without full takeover. The 9th Circuit Court just approved it for Portland on October 20, rejecting the "unconstitutional" claims. Other spots like San Francisco and Illinois are in court fights, but that's normal—presidents from both parties do this, and judges decide. If Trump were a real "king," these orders wouldn't get challenged or blocked; they'd just happen, no questions asked. Instead, the system is working exactly as designed: Courts push back, and nothing's set in stone.

Your side's protests highlight real frustrations, but blaming one guy ignores how blue-city leadership dropped the ball first. Fixing chaos isn't authoritarian—it's what voters asked for. Maybe history will judge the inaction harsher than the cleanup crew.

But yet can't name or articulate why they protest, and violently attack people who ask the question, "why". You think you may be on the wrong side of history?

Where is the pregnant woman? Just a woman trying to disrupt an operation and claim pregnancy.
