Reminds me of how the US treats gun violence. We know we can stop it, we just love our freedoms too much to actually do anything to stop it. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...d9d544fa4c.jpg

Jorge you offer another in the long line of false equivalence. The protests were a spontaneous (yet organized) out pouring of emotion. Rage at the treatment of black man murdered at the hands of the police. Trumps rallies (to borrow a line from Metswon) are a circle jerk to sooth and inflate a depleted ego. One is not necessary, the other an out pouring of emotional frustration, there is no equivalence.

Both in your parlance "have a right" to assemble. Both present risk. One serves the need of one individual the other serves the masses.

Can it.

Anyone paying attention knows Biden is a superior option to Trump. Sure don't mean we need to pretend to be excited about him or donate money to his campaign.

Voting is more than enough. Don't need a pep talk about this uninspiring candidate or getting guilted in to donating during an economic crisis. :facepalm:

As long as there are protests going on with large amounts of people attending them then it’s only fair for rallies to be allowed . To not allow one but allow the other just reeks of hypocrisy .

Both are allowed; I don't think anyone is debating that. One is just way stupider than the other.

But when it comes to the virus it is all just large gatherings of people and more potential hosts for it . So to say one shouldn’t be held because of infection risk but others to go on for months at a time simply makes no sense . Either end all mass gatherings or allow all to take place .

Theres really no difference other than most people dislike Trump, so they frown upon his gatherings.
Allow them all or allow none. Can't get pissy about Trumps people then support protesting.
I'm not in any way supporting Trump, just don't see why one is cool and one is bad.

There's plenty of differences. A packed indoor rally full of people that are statistically less likely to practice social distancing measures and outdoor protests are not one and the same. Not to mention that the former is just going to be reinforcing behavior that is already set in stone i.e. Trump fans voting for Trump.

Just save us time and admit that the reason you don’t want the rallies held is because they are for trump and you can’t stand him . Atleast your argument would hold some merit

I mean I could do that but it'd be a lie.

You could save us time and admit you're okay with anything the president does. No one here has ever bought your phony "I hate all politicians and am totally not partisan" nonsense.

Understandable, but one big rally vs 1000s of protests. Both are highly likely to spread covid.
I just don't think one should be hated on while the other is applauded. Not when we are all supposed to be social distancing and trying to cut down on the covid spread.
Neither of them helps the whole virus ordeal.

Nah that wouldn’t be a lie at all and I would actually respect your opinion .

I don't think either are especially wise and would absolutely not attend either. At least one was for a good cause.
