The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Well it wouldn't be a "day," would it?

It was a three hour riot.

And the reason it happened was because in 2020, the MSM and the Left and the Democommies made it very very clear that political violence in service of a cause thought to be "just" was not only O.K., it was obligatory.

Yes the people who rioted on January 6 were stupid.

Not because they listened to Trump, who told them to protest peacefully. (Unfortunately, they did NOT listen to Trump.)

But because they listened to YOU. YOU told them it was not just O.K., but morally and ethically obligatory, to engage in political violence and riots if you subjectively believe the cause to be just.

Cue 2020 George Floyd riots.
