They be like *ight g I'm finna loot a store*

Doesn’t counting the popular vote give the Dems more time to bribe electors?

BLM does not care about the people who die

Most of the people who get killed by cops are criminals, and I bet the organizers are happy when they hear another story or see a video because they can whip up outrage about it

Sick sick people

I've gotten alot of heat from friends that ive told i don't support BLM

Just ignore them

I don't think i need to be a part of a movement or charity to know people's lives matter

Why are they upset with you specifically

What arguments do they give for why you should support it

if they put that after friendship, they arent rly friends

Just because i don't support BLM. They just spout off about how it makes me anti-blm and such even tho ive given my reasons as to why i don't support.

Hit them with the facts

About 1k people get killed by police in America on a yearly basis

@SnowMouse just show them clips of peaceful protesting

and how theyre just jews

In the vast majority of those cases, the police officer was in imminent danger

Take Jacob Blake for example

I can’t wait for them to defend a criminal

And you have a 50% better chance of winning a 1 million dollar lottery jackpot than getting killed by police in America

Statistically speaking

@Joe Cool they were all criminals tbf lmao

unsurprisingly

BLM likes to do this thing where they talk about race relations in general, or globalize the argument, but you have to keep them on the subject of police brutality specifically. They don’t have the facts to back up their claims and that is how you win the discussion and make them look downright stupid

Narrow discussions, objective facts

I don't think they'll listen. Literally one day they was defending the protests by saying they're wearing masks so they're fine, but in tbe very next text they said masks aren't really effective when i asked them about all the canceling Thanksgiving stuff after i said what if families wear masks

They don’t want to engage in civil discourse because they’re thinking emotionally

That’s one of the 3 great untruths

Emotional reasoning holds up very poorly in civil discourse

And the mask thing should have nothing to do with the protests being safe or not. Even if you wear one it’s not smart to go to a large gathering like that, it’s a high level of risk compared to things like thanksgiving

They probably know very little about the science and thus will seize on any surface argument that makes their other arguments look good rather than seeing the whole picture

Speaking of wearing a mask, it’s actually disgusting to see a stereotype where all the conservatives don’t wear a mask

I do

Doesn’t that make us look stupid when in reality, we actually aren’t?

There’s some conservatives who don’t believe this thing is real and don’t follow guidelines

Makes the rest of them look bad

It is their decision, so if they get covid, then it’s their fault.

I understand not trusting the media or the government in general but at some point there needs to be some common sense

But the majority of us wear a mask and follow guidelines so everyone has standards

Most people

The incidents where people don’t are highly publicized
