It's from the decade of 2015 when /r/the_donald was taking over reddit with propaganda, they'd use it to shout down every accusation against Trump from the liberals

All they have to do is say the 5 second soundbite thing people want to hear and instead everything about this administration is being confrontational, combative so they can what, pwn the libs for more clicks?  The whole thing could have gotten turned into a nothingburger in short order.

Its just exhausting.

He finally got around to it on Hannity last night

"I’ve said it many times, let me be clear again: I condemn the KKK. I condemn all white supremacists. I condemn the Proud Boys. I don't know much about the Proud Boys, almost nothing, but I condemn that."

[Apoc]

My mistake on the Proud Boys thing. The transcript I read noted Biden's comments before Trump as "crosstalk."

[IntegraJWill]

Just stop. If you didn't know who a group was, why wouldn't you just denounce white supremacists entirely? He is afraid to lose their votes.

You can keep parroting Fox news but the FBI says you're wrong.

If he was so scared why did he denounce them the next day? And if he was so scared then why did even CNN say he wants to prosecute the KKK as a terrorist organization?

(This was proposed last week before the debate)
https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/25/politics/...index.html 

"The proposals include prosecuting the Ku Klux Klan and Antifa as terrorist organizations, making Juneteenth a federal holiday and efforts to bolster Black economic prosperity."

Alright that's enough politics for the year, Imma go back to cars.

Ooh I can play the why-did-he game. If he rolled out a proposal last week to condemn violent terrorist organizations, then a week later gets on Hannity and condemns The Proud Boys as an organization, why are they not mentioned by name in his proposal? https://cdn.donaldjtrump.com/public-file...ersion.pdf Why not get the good soundbite on stage as the tough on crime President if he was going to do it 24 hours later? He said he didn't know them well but how is that possible after Charlottesville? Is our president just not paying attention?

Also, announcing a plan in the last year of his term to vaguely threaten to prosecute a 150 year old white supremacist organization, and the ONLY OTHER group you mention is literally named after ANTI FASCISM and isn't actually an organization, makes your true intentions are pretty transparent.

On a related note I guess I'm a terrorist now. Put me in front of a firing squad and give me a cigarette, cuz I'll never say I'm not anti-fascist.

They are NOT a white supremacist group.

if you want to be pedantic, you could say they're more of a white or western nationalist group who also supports and coordinates with white *supremicists.  however you'd like to define them, they're anti-patriotic trash and operate under the premise of causing violence and unrest wherever they can get away with it.  

If he was so scared why did he denounce them the next day?

because damage control.  his handlers saw the comment blow up in short order and they need to bail water this close to the election.  Trump has consistently operated the last 4 years under the premise of saying completely ignorant nonsense and then coming back and correcting it later based on how badly his PR estimates the damage was to his image.

"The proposals include prosecuting the Ku Klux Klan and Antifa as terrorist organizations

well after "somebody's got to do something about antifa and the left because this is not a right-wing problem" you'd probably have to assume he forgot the KKK is a right wing problem.

*EDIT i typed nationalists instead of supremecists.

This. The "western Civilization" thing is a logic trap that these dudes use to inject white supremacy.

Has "western civilization" done cool shit? Hell yes. It sent men to the moon, it raised the quality of life for billions of people all over the world.

On the other side of the coin, "western civilization" did the holocaust, the atomic bomb, and totalitarian communism.

It starts with these guys saying "look at all the good The West has done and it's under attack!" Which is true. But then they forget the bad, and market "western civilization" as Superior...so the rest must be... what? It's insidious.

This is a pile of hogshit, and even the president has to know it but you know... 2020, y'all.

[Apoc]

There's a good book that talks about the logic trap of First World or Western classifications. It proposed we group nations in four groups by economic maturity. You may have seen a Ted talk by the (late) author.

I'm not sure he knows, honestly. He's been sitting on his gilded toilet in trump tower for so long he has no connection to the world most of us live in, he is the ultimate philistine.

At least hitler appreciated art. Trump? Only appreciates himself.

Philistine is one of my favorite words recently

false. Trump bought a portrait of himself that one time, but you know, with charity money. for his own property.

it was the biggest portrait, just the best. and you can trust that i appreciate art, because i know portraits, and people love my portraits.

Unreal.

What's amazing to me is that it seems like the mask protocols are what has sent so many of these nuts off the deep end.  I gotta laugh at the idea that most of them will sit up in a deer stand with a camo balaclava wrapping their face for 12 hours but will start a war because they can't go into Kroger for 30 mins with a light fabric mask on.

As an aside, I actually had no idea what the boogaloo thing was until about a month ago.  Saw my first truck 2 weeks ago with a "boog life" sticker on the back.  Good to know who the terrorists are I guess.

The Black Bloc has way better opsec, I'll give them that 100%. They also learned an important lesson from leftist violence in the 60's: Killing people looks bad. (Who knew?)

Anyway, the story behind these particular dipshits is pretty wild, check out this breakdown from the FBI Affidavit.

If you leave the meme patches off of your plate carrier you're fine, no one's gonna mistake you for a Big Luau attendee.
