And it's the right-wing that threatens violence the most these days. And some of us understand how blacks who have been repressed for years and shot by police for no reason and get away with it get violent. I don't mind your violent warnings, but it might be something for you to look at. I understand you get mad at me and others; I get mad at times too. Our national divide is very frustrating, and there might be violence in the country; we all know that. It's good to stay positive and be ourselves, if we can.

The only nitpick might be that Classic is a violence obsessed liar who can't speak coherently without going off the deep end of reality.  He thus represents nobody.  The 'Americans' who are with him are a figment of his imagination.  If the middle of the country were in fact populated by a bunch of classics???

He is representative of people who are obsessed with violence, who accept the lies of the President while failing to test them for factual basis. There are such people, and as the state shutdown (in his case Minnesota) makes him increasingly angry and frustrated... his anger that lies below the surface of conformity can break the surface. Demagogues of the authoritarian right have exploited his frustration before and do so in America. In America such was frequently a group that loved the letter "K".

... I understand that he is in the HVAC business, one which will thrive just in retrofitting ventilation systems to purify air of viruses and bacteria. I would rather that he profit from that than end up behind bars.

I do think he represents a lot of potentially-violent right-wing wackos out there, mostly, but by no means entirely, in red or purple America, even though he does so in his own peculiar way, and not always off the deep end or identical with the worst of them. We see them coming out in these demonstrations these days. But yeah, if he sticks to business and stays out of trouble, then we won't lose this guy who is so easy and fun to argue with and refute.

I don't know why he brags how much stronger and more violent he is. I don't know what he thinks that means to anybody. He can't punch or shoot anyone through the computer. I don't usually like to talk about other posters like this, but since he did threaten me and others in his silly way...... and not for the first time....
