That's exactly my point. It would be different if you saw two candidates and the "white supremacist support" was split between the two... or even 70-30.... but when 98.2% of all white supremacists support one candidate (official cbid made up statistic, you can tell by the number. But I don't see anyone challenging the idea) then you have to ask yourself what it is that they are doing which makes them so damn appealing to those people.

And yes, that would be hypocritical of me if I voted for conservatives. But I don't. I can't, because I will not align myself with them. In the past (pre-trump) I was willing to. And before twitler got the nomination I was prepared to vote for one of 2 or 3 of the Republican candidates over Clinton. I may prefer to have a more conservative government (actual conservative, not current republican nonsense) but I refuse to be associated with the people currently supporting the president. They are legitimizing racism by trying to hide it in politics.

Do we actually know this? In the middle of a pandemic, where businesses across the city are shut down for covid, why would you think it'd be a protest that would keep people away?

Let’s not confuse a peaceful protest with an armed invasion and occupation. The CHOPpers enforced a residents only policy. So if outsiders wanted to patronize the businesses they were prevented from doing so. Add to that the fact that most people avoid conflict when possible and an idiot should see the parallel. But, then you have people who will act like that guy with the invisible clothes who ignores any logic at all to try to prove he’s smarter than everyone else. A well edumacated dumbass if you will.

I’ll challenge the fabricated straw man statistic. Current polling shows the racist vote to be running almost 50/50 between Biden and Trump.

I’m starting to get the feeling that you aren’t going to vote for Trump. I understand the struggle of having to choose between what you see as this new wave Trump racism versus Biden’s old style traditional Democrat racism. It’s like when you visit a grandparent and they say “negro” during conversation at dinner. You know you’re supposed to be horrified but...well...that’s just how grandpa is.

Yes, as with everything this election, it's a matter of choosing the "lesser of two weevils".
Rather than trump's screaming racism (note - I did NOT say racists were 98.2% for trump. I stated white supremacists. I still stand by that number, you have shown me nothing to indicate otherwise), I have to accept Biden's general acceptance of institutional racism.
Rather than trump's 23 rape accusations, I have to settle for Biden's 1 or 2 or something...

I'm not seeing how you're trying to make an argument.

What makes you think outsiders are not allowed? I've seen video of people just entering and leaving. Hell those proud boys racists went in. You keep stating things which are easily disproven.
