Let’s see, my dad has been a small business owner for over 40 years. Im also a small business owner, and 2 of my 3 brothers are as well. Lol. Certain small businesses are hurting right now, but there also some doing great. Over all things are great. There are certain challenges though. Not going to argue with you

Dude, you’re funny. You just want to argue and get upset at something. At first, you were like:

Didn’t see that being attributed to some news source, or quoted, or anything like that. That was something you most definitely claimed.

Then you just said:

So you’re just parroting some crap you read somewhere? And we’re supposed to just know that because you used a fancy word like “uptick”?

Lol, you were all like “oh you just made that up!” Then next breath “you just copied that fancy word!” Hahahaha which one makes you madder brother?

Quit making terrible assumptions, and insulting is one of the lowest forms of argument and only reveals your own shortcomings.

It’s pretty clear you’re the moron here.

You’ve got 3 fingers pointed back at you.

Butthurt? Lol no, again, I was merely pointing out the intellectual dishonesty. And I did. Never tried refute anything, buddy.

Public school kids…

To what end?

“There has been an uptick in violent leftist extremism.”

I literally read that somewhere, I even kept the word “uptick”. Do you want me to go find the article that literally says “recently, there has been an uptick in violent leftist extremism.” Because I bet i could even find that phrase at least a couple times. But please… trying to have will power to educate yourself

Ill try my best friend. The first paragraph makes all of these negative points then asks “has your life gotten any better”… that would be called “leading the witness” in a court of law. Not to even mention the use of shock value buzzwords like “violently torn” “blamed for virtually everything” “brink of collapse”… it all plays on emotion and is very cheap and phony

Intellectually dishonest post. It’s expected though at this point, coming from the left.

If you think creating answers to leading questions is anything other than dishonest, you’re kidding yourself…

Well, so much for your claim of “uptick in violent leftist extremism”.

Wasn’t really my own claim, im just repeating what many news sources are saying, and in one way or another, they are saying violent leftist extremism is on the rise. Why do you seem so personally irked by this? I haven’t really made any other argument other than what I just said. The violence from leftist extremist is on the rise. Thats it. Quit with whataboutisms. It is it what it is. Dont make assumptions, and dont put words in others mouths.

Yeah, one doesn’t continue to shoot without adjusting their aim. If they didn’t adjust their aim, but expected different/better results. That could seem like insanity I guess.

“Im a doctor and I use lemmy”

Sir, exactly what kind of doctor are you?

What’s funny about this? He WAS a victim. He was the creation of pride and hubris. Only shallow judgement made him a “monster”

actual statistics.

I have so little energy to suffer the ignorant…

Guess?

Add some syrup and dig in!

I shouldn’t have to do this. This information is being covered by the liberal media, why are yall seeing this? This isn’t even an “extraordinary” claim. Its the cognitive dissonance that can keep people from seeing things that challenge their own ideas and beliefs.
