10. Imagine if left counter-protesters had stayed home after the Floyd protests.

That may have resulted in a gigantic Democratic margin in the House, and maybe won us a couple more Senate seats.

14. It's hard to say

I think the Portland Protests hurt way more than anything else.

15. The Portland protests were driven by anarchists.

I don’t view those people as Democratic, they hi-jacked the legitimate BLM protests there and created all types of street violence.

[BGBD]

16. Yes

But they tied them to us. I don't know what we could have done about it, but I don't think the other protests did that. They made it seem like every city was going to have cop-free zones and occupied streets with Democrats won.

3. Where is all the riot gear and helmets and guns they had when

they were going after our side?

[soothsayer]

5. Excellent question

[yankeepants]

9. They thought that they could reason with the unreasonable.

4. AFT police started pepper spraying the real terrorists

[Blue_true]

6. That is exactly WHY left counter-protesters should stay the hell home.

Stay off the streets, let the Police see that the Magats are fair-weather friends only.

7. Police in DC need to treat these people as if they were black. Pretend they have dark skin.

There would be law and order. QUICK.

8. What are they trying to accomplish/get to?

I am honestly HOPING that some of them commit some property damage just so I can turn around all the bullshit conservative relatives gave me about Portland protesters because property damage - not a cop killing a guy - is what got them upset. There was that incident a week or two ago about some PBs tearing down a BLM banner from a church, but that won't count for them because it's not a federal building... and it was a Black church.

11. Didn't see any

pepper spay or tear gas. These guys went hand to hand and the cops aren't armored up like they would for anyone else.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

12. Wow! Those dudes are soooooo "pro-police" it makes me sick. nt

[Solomon]

13. It was announced ahead of time that the

National Guard is unarmed.

[SergeStorms]

17. So where's the tear gas?

If it was a BLM demonstration they'd have gassed them hours ago. Its not possible there's a double standard in the United States, is there?

[Mopar151]

18. Can't gas family...... nt

[George II]

19. Arrest them all. Make them sit in a holding cell overnight....

No doubt they'll be crying their asses off like white supremacist Christopher Cantwell:
