I want people to acknowledge that politicians didn’t give a damn when it was your place of work that protests were occurring at

I think it’s crazy all the live news stations won’t let you comment on their streams ...

This is what democracy looks like! The people demand respect. Taxation requires representation!

GOOD. Keep up the good work. They did not call the National Guard on Antifa or BLM but they will call them for American patriots standing up for what's right.

CNN didn’t hesitate to use the term “rioters” when talking about this protest. I’d say I’m surprised at the blatant hypocrisy and double standards, but I’d be lying.

A mostly peaceful response to the mostly peaceful protests.
