the riots obviously had to do with the prevailing Trump flavor, as well as the police violence. As well as the MSM and politicians egging them on. But mostly good old-fashioned timely chimpery. they were gay

You're right that they didn't initially. However, his reaction to them worsened the situation and, IMO, caused them to last a lot longer than they otherwise would have because they morphed into being about a broader systemic issue. If he hadn't embodied said systemic issue through his words and actions during the riots, I think they would have stopped earlier than they did.

HA! Most of my friends and family are of the liberal persuasion and non of them are Marxists.
Im NOT a Republican or Democratic. I'm more conservative with some libertarian and liberal leanings. I was however, a Republican until they pushed John Mkane and I felt the party left me.

Well, to be totally honest, I do not believe there is such thing as a conservative in America, that isnt a republican, sorry.

Trump is about as anti RNC as you can get, and after 4 years, his legacy is: The RNC's wet dream.

occasionally you're into liberty, but its impossible to hold conservative values and actually be for liberty, because conservative values are the opposite of me doing what I want, under the guise of a free market (that is anything but free).

I think you mean it's impossible to hold what the current extreme of the Republican party believes are conservative values and also be for liberty. Because the extreme right has ironically become a party of big government. True conservatism is not that.

I agree.

It's hard for me to believe that my libertarian friends are libertarian, when they're like "the only way to maintain law and order is by shooting people"

Ruby ridge remembers, what actual libertarians are.

More so than Obama in some places, he managed to get a retired President out to do more work.
