Liberals Started Rioting Right After Trump’s Election, Even During His Inuaguration
They’ve done nothing to quell the violence and unrest on their side, which started right after Trump won the presidency.
Trump Inauguration
Six police officers were injured and 217 protesters arrested Friday after a morning of peaceful protests and coordinated disruptions of Donald Trump’s inauguration ceremony gave way to ugly street clashes in downtown Washington.
At least two DC police officers and one other person were taken to the hospital after run-ins with protesters, DC Fire Spokesman Vito Maggiolo told CNN. Acting DC Police Chief Peter Newsham said the officers’ injuries were considered minor and not life threatening.
Bursts of chaos erupted on 12th and K streets as black-clad “antifascist” protesters smashed storefronts and bus stops, hammered out the windows of a limousine and eventually launched rocks at a phalanx of police lined up in an eastbound crosswalk. Officers responded by launching smoke and flash-bang devices, which could be heard from blocks away, into the street to disperse the crowds.
And Right After Trump Was Elected
The media won’t bring this up, but in the aftermath of Trump’s election in November 2016, the left began protesting—and those protests typically ended in violence.
“For the third night in a row, anti-Donald Trump demonstrators took to the streets in several big cities and on college campuses across the United States, including an outburst of smashed windows and a dumpster fire in Portland that police countered with pepper spray and flash-bang devices,” reported USA Today just days after Trump’s upset victory over Hillary Clinton.
Roughly 4,000 protesters gathered in downtown Portland the Thursday following the election, chanting “We reject the president-elect!” before heading over to Portland’s Pearl District, “where the windows of several businesses were smashed.” A local news station said, “The protest was mostly peaceful until demonstrators met with an anarchist group, after which demonstrators vandalized buildings, kicked cars and knocked out power.”
In Los Angeles, protesters burned an effigy of Trump, blocked traffic on a busy highway, and vandalized property. In Oakland, rioters started fires, threw rocks and Molotov cocktails, and vandalized police cars. One police car was even graffitied with the message “Time to riot.”
Similar stories were reported in New York, Denver, San Francisco, and Philadelphia.
Did the left get over it? Did they ever accept the election? Nope. They promised to resist and the rioting didn’t stop.
So I’ve learned on CP today that it’s totally cool to burn down buildings, close businesses-many of whom are minority owned, kill people who don’t think like you, and take over multi-square blocks of cities, but if you protest in the capitol it’s the worst thing ever. Liberalism is a mental disorder. [Reply]

Where did you learn that? Can you link me to the posts saying it's cool to do those things? Thanks in advance. [Reply]

Lol you’re welcome! Remember back to all the rioting this summer? I assume you met that with the same fervor that you are condemning the capitol riots. [Reply]

I mean, like, this isn't some abstract thing. He spoke, they tried an insurrection. Its plain as day.
Corrolation does not imply causation. Surely after all the years of people saying the same about the other side you can see that.
Or not.
Perhaps, you only think they way you think and anyone else who thinks differently are idiots. I get it. You're not alone. Trump does the same thing. [Reply]
