Narrative twists: "You guys are Antifa!" - Proud Boys to police.

"You guys are Antifa!" - Proud Boys to police. This is one of many recent events where far-right groups are faced with police instead of helped by them. In every case, the group accuses police of working for Antifa or BLM. Trump created this alternate universe they live in.

Nice to see them get the exact same treatment. But my God this is a huge reason we need to boost education in America. These guys lost their brain along the way of childhood to adult life

My grandfather was a republican his entire life and was in WWII (albeit lightly) and hated fascists and Nazis.

I am almost happy he cannot see what is happening now. He died in 2008...

Proud boys are fascists.

Police need to stop them.

That makes the police anti-fascists.

No surprise there.

Do the Proud (aka SAD and DELUDED) Boys think they are the Good Guys and the police should be on their side? Really?

15. Trumpers are just digging deeper and deeper holes...

What a total waste of time and money and energy. While these idiots are doing this, the Asian families and Indian families and suburban kids are all studying, preparing for education. Our kids spend time after school learning economics and how to run a business. All the kids from India ancestry in our neighborhood study, study, study.

All these dimwits are doing is falling further and further behind. Their economic power will continue to weaken. They are just dooming themselves and their kids to a dim future. The FBI under Biden will be sure to pick up any of them who cross the line. The rest will just grow older and poorer while the rest of us embrace the future, technology, green energy jobs for our kids.

The money wasted buying Trump flags, driving, flying, hotels for DC on Jan 6th could be used instead to purchase Apple or Microsoft stock that would be worth 10 times the amount in 20 years. The time wasted at Trump rallies and protests could be spent reading up on investing or running a small pressure washing business. So many ways to use the time and money wasted to improve your life.

Keep digging Trumpers.

They won't even wear a freakin' arm band or chant "white power!".
And yet they call themselves cops.

Half the country has gone insane.
