Pretty sure it is conservatives that dont like that. You just agree with this because you agree with the cause, but if it wasnt a cause you agree with, I have a feeling your view would be completely the opposite.

So if this happened in a state that made it legal to run over protestors blocking the street, would you be ok if these truckers were run over? Just asking, and not really even directing this to you personally, because I dont remember your position on this, but it does seem like a lot of conservatives are ok with protesting as long as it is for something they are for, but completely against if it is for something they are against.
If the truckers were attacking the passing vehicles, I wouldn't have much of an issue with them getting run over. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. If somebody just decided to ram into a crowd of protesters with no provocation, no. That's a different story altogether.
Well deserved for what? Not doing their jobs? Safe to say your view of protest has changed dramatically eh?
Video: Confrontation with protesters preceded alleged arson in Ottawa apartment: residents
Residents in a downtown Ottawa apartment building say they are scared after an apparent attempt to start a fire in the lobby. Ottawa police say they are investigating the fire, which residents say came after a confrontation between anti-vaccine protesters and tenants a few hours earlier.

They tried, they just didnt do it as well.
Isn’t it sad and pathetic that covidians are doing this? I would conclude they are paid government actors were it not for the brainwashed crazies in this forum. Seeing them making shit up and wishing harm on their fellow human beings, I would have never believed 💰🤦♀️
Truckers were essential worker's who helped save the economy from collapse during all the shutdowns, while the leftie nut cases were hiding in their basements with underwear covering their faces. so they wouldn't get brown noses swallowing all the Fauci bull s

I am enjoying this sudden change in tone with regards to protests. Hopefully none of the truckers gets too crazy and takes a knee at a sporting event and ruins it for you guys.
So if Kaepernick held a flag while kneeling you would have been ok with it? If there were more flags at BLM protests you would have been ok with it?
My point is how inconsistent a lot of conservatives are on this issue. I think their protest is stupid, but I think people have the right to protest. Many of you guys were throwing a fit during BLM protests, but now are a-ok with protesting. Tomi Lahren is so dumb she even compared them to the founding fathers. I have said this on this board before, and I will say it again, the modern day Republican party doesnt stand for anything, so your views just go with whichever way the wind is blowing.
I dont agree with you on everything by any means, but I give you credit for being consistent on this, unlike many of the others.
Maybe if you didn't strawman every conservative you would see that they are every bit as pragmatic as anyone on the left.
It isnt a matter of pragmatism. You either believe in the right to protest or you dont. YOu dont have to believe in the cause, but you believe in the right. Many Republicans most certainly didnt believe that in 2020, some states even passed laws that it was ok to run over protestors if they were blocking the street. My state had the state police run protestors off the grounds across the street from the capital, who hadnt caused any damage or harm, they were literally just demanding a sit down with the governor. etc etc. If someone ran over a trucker do you think those same legislators and governors would feel the same way? I can assure you they wouldnt.
The Boston tea party was literally destroying property. And most protestors werent destroying anything, and you know that.
1/6 is different because they were protesting Democracy and urged on by a corrupt politician who was mad he lost an election. I dont support protesting elections and the Democratic process no, just like I wouldnt support harassing voters or poll workers. BLM wasnt protesting Democracy.
Ohhhhhh. So it's not that you support the right to protest, just the right to protest if you agree with it.
Whoops!
It isnt a whoops at all. We already have a way to get rid of politicians we dont like, it is called voting. Trying to overturn an election because your guy lost isnt protesting within a democratic system, it is essentially about ending that system and making elections meaningless. What BLM was doing, and even what the truckers are doing, is still within a democratic system, what happened on 1/6 was not. Most protests are protesting against leaders and a perceived injustice. 1/6 was done on behalf of the leader, and there was no injustice, they were just mad he lost.
A protest is actually protesting something. If 1/6 was a protest (I am more on the lines it was an insurrection or attempted coup, which isnt a protest so I dont buy your premise anyway), then the only argument you can make is that it was a protest against Democracy. And no, I dont want our Democracy ended, if you think that is a big gotcha or something then run with that, but as I said, I dont consider an insurrection as being a protest.
No they werent, you are intentionally being stupid. BLM was about police actions against minorities, 1/6 was about overturning an eletion and ending Democracy. These arent the same thing.
Democracy led to having police and their policies, correct? Protesting against it is an affront to what democracy produced.
You are just being dumb on purpose. The point of a Democracy is so things can change, just like with civil rights and other issues throughout our history. That is why we have a right to vote, protest, free speech, etc, so if we dont like something, we can work to change it. Change is a part of Democracy, it isnt against Democracy. IF 1/6 had succeeded, it would have been about nothing more than showing loyalty to a single person, not about any sort of democratic principles or ideals.
Pretzelcubs back out in full force once again. Just admit that you aren't in favor of all protests and that it's unfair to call conservatives "hypocrites" for feeling the same way.
THere is no pretzel cubs, I literally laid out the differences and instead of trying to have an actual discussion on it you just resort to this "pretzel" tactic because you are intentionall making dumb arguments and getting your ass handed to you. If you dont understand the difference between trying to make changes within a democracy, and trying to overthrow a democracy (which you do know the difference, you are just pretending to be dumb for some reason), then that is on you.
By your logic any sort of coup, illegal takeover of power, etc, would be legit because you consider it a protest. I dont consider those things protest, I consider them more or less fascism and trying to get rid of Democracy.
No, your dear leader says their was voter fraud and you lap it up like a lost puppy because for some reason a bankrupt reality TV star convinced you he gives a shit about you, he doesnt. To this very day, there is no evidence of any sort of widespread voter fraud and the people still pushing that BS are clowns just amplifying the words and desires of a psychopath.
They did, and they protested to get the attention of politicians. That is how it works, and has worked throughout the history of this country. RFK, JFK, LBJ, responded to the MLK and civil rights protests by working on making it better, and BLM was trying to do the same type of thing.
Sure. By looting and setting fire to businesses and setting siege to government buildings and assaulting cops.
You are believing something with no evidence, simple as that. You are a conspiracy theorist. And it has everything to do with Trump. If he accepted defeat like every normal president, none of this would be an issue.
The guy said before hand he wasnt going to accept the results if he lost, he told you what he was going to do, but or some reason you still take the word of a guy whose charities stole money from cancer patients. Why do you guys create such a cult like atmosphere around people who you know are complete losers?
And we are back to the part of the program where Trumpers pretend to care about police again, despite them betting up police on 1/6.
Yes, pretend. The same people who beat up cops, or support the people who beat up cops, dont actually care about cops. That isnt a strawman, that is logic, and it also isnt a strawman, because I wasnt the one who brought up cops in this thread. You always tell me I am creating a strawman, and I am going to tell you once again, you dont know what that means or at least how to apply it. If anyone created a strawman it was Knighttime, since he is the one who brought up cops.
