Lmao, I have a master's degree in public health from OU (4.0 student) and I do have clinical experience, not that it matters when you're talking about epidemiology. I run the hematology department and I am on the Covid-19 workgroup. We still meet daily. I have helped plan our response from day one.

Is this more artistry at work? You're really good at it, you should take your show on the road.

I worked as a patient care tech in a busy emergency room fresh out of high school while I was in college. I did all kinds of crazy stuff. It helped steer me towards laboratory science actually. I worked there for 6 years.

Antifa does exist and they’re only goal is to incite violence and mayhem. Yes, they’re mostly white, spoiled, radical left wing democrats. Local and national democrats have remained silent on their violent rioting and anarchist behavior. Some dems have been very supportive. They are criminals.

You continue to deflect from the truth because it does not suit your narrative of lies.

Is anyone left of center a democrat? Your world-view appears to be very narrow. Most other democracies (real ones) have many more active political parties that actually represent segments of the population. We have a two-party system, so a "far left" person may support Democrats because its the closet to them they have, just as far right fascist groups support Republicans because its the option that is closest to them that they have. Even though those who are very far left don't really have their interests represented by the majority of the Democratic Party, and those on the far right don't have their interests represented by the majority of the Republican Party.

For example, Norway... One of the world's best democracies. Their parliament (Congress, if you will) is represented with 9 political parties. Meaning, 9 different parties have seats in their parliament. 15 other parties vied for seats, but didn't make the vote cut.

The group with the most seats is the Labour Party, which would translate to our Democrats... The second most is the Conservative Party, which would translate to our Republicans. The others have who representation in their parliament are the Progress Party (Libertarian), Centre Party (Centrist/Moderates), Socialist Left Party (further left), Liberal Party (more centrist), Christian Democrats (center right, religious based), Green Party (center left, environmental based), Red Party (far left, communist party)...

All of these parties have representation.... And to get legislation passed, the parties typically have to work together, build coalitions, and make concessions to the other parties because more of the population is properly represented in their government.

See, real democracies don't divide the entire population into two groups of people. That is a flaw in our system.

Anyway, just food for thought.

The media doesn’t set my narrative, I do my own research and come to my own conclusions. It annoys me when people use Fox & CNN as there only POV. I haven’t seen anyone support antifa. I have seen antifa members get the hell beat out of them by protesters for trying to incite violence.

If both parties were opposed to Chaz then why does it get to exist. If it is allowed to exist what message does this send to other communities that are governed at the local, state level by democrats? That it's not okay?

Here, read all about it.

"Once criticized by President Donald Trump and Fox News commentators as a haven for anarchists and the far-left antifa movement, CHAZ has morphed into what looks and feels like a mini-Burning Man festival, complete with its own corps of volunteer street cleaners and medics, as well as dreadlocked white girls blowing soap bubbles and taking selfies in front of paintings of men and women killed by Seattle police."

Why do you keep bringing up Chaz to me? I’ve never mentioned it & I don’t have an opinion on it yet because I’m not well informed on it. Could you actually reply or have an opinion on what I have said to your questions? If not, I’m not going to answer 1000 questions that you randomly come up with.

I made 2 points in a post and you responded to one point. If you do not want to share your opinion about Chaz that is fine and dandy.

Isn't Chaz the guy played by Will Ferrell in Wedding Crashers who teaches them how to crash weddings?

Your whole points centered around Chaz. Read my post, I don’t have an opinion on Chaz because I’m not very informed on what it is.
 
I wish we, as a country, could go back in time and look at how the US looked 200 years ago, 100 years ago, 50 years ago and see the change that has happened and realize that the racism of today is about 1/100th of the racism of yesteryear. There isn't one black person from 200 years ago that wouldn't trade places with a black person from today in a heart beat. That doesn't mean we shouldn't always strive to do better...but we also need perspective and truth.

People want so badly to be a victim and be against something that they create these things in their heads. We have a natural urge to fight against evil. But we first have to figure out what evil is. What is the enemy? It isn't white people. It isn't cops. It isn't black people. It is Satan. And how do you defeat THE evil one? With Love. We all need more love.

Also included, but not mentioned by you, is the theft, rape, assaults, and shakedowns by armed thugs. This is not some festival. It’s a lawless area of idiots that are terrorizing the neighborhood while the democrat mayor and governor sit in their mansions and do nothing.

Do you have a credible link to reports of all these "thefts, rape, assaults, and shakedowns by armed thugs?"

I haven't seen any, and the reports I saw also said that the protesters were not armed.
