I was in a big city recently, and went to eat. There weren't any protests at the time of my going.

That really doesn't mean anything; I hate to have to keep bringing up this comparison, but the Nazis and Communists were not battling it out in the streets 24/7. The violence came and went in waves. Trust me, something like the George Floyd riots are going to happen again; especially as we get closer to the election. And if Trump wins? What we saw over the past week or so will pale in comparison to the violence that will erupt as a result.

I expect the Antifa terrorists to start blowing thing up or commiting mass shootings if Trump wins again.

They absolutely will. They are already trying now in the middle of these riots and protests. They are getting high on their own supply of paranoia and propaganda. Let's just hope they are just as incompetent at terrorism as they are at running communes.
In fairness that's probably a result of vangaurdism. It's not the majority of the black community that are actively anti white; they're probably just apathetic, or don't like what's going on. But the most racially conscious and politically active and 'loud' in terms of how many people they reach will be what's driving their movement and pulling along the rest who aren't doing anything in massed counter.

What's worse is that local governments in many major cities have capitulated to them to such an insane degree, that they know now beyond a shadow of a doubt that they could get away with basically anything in them, so long as they do it in the name of their ideology. I fear we've reached the point where we essentially have an independent state that exists in parallel with the American government, which does not follow the same rules; and depending on where you live, things like the Constitution may no longer apply.
it will continue to get worse until the pain of inaction is worse then the pain of action.

I've said it before that movements are represented not be the most common denominator but by who gets listened to.
Lenin noted that shit; he said the point of any political party was to guide the masses, not to reflect them. To shift the common consensus and the conversation and the ideas of the common man away from what they are and onto a more revolutionary mindset.

Not surprising; CCP propaganda would latch onto just about anything as evidence for why the US is evil, and democracy does work.

You just answered your own question about the echo chamber.
Edit. On a real tip. Man I have been to actual countries that had civil wars. We are no where near close to having one. What you think is bad is what I call not as bad as the 1960s.

There's a number of big differences between what's happening in the US now, and what happened in Germany in the 20's and 30's.
The single biggest one, is that the German people let the government seize their private firearms, destroying their ability to resist tyranny. The dominant ethos of 2nd Amendment advocates is that attempts to seize private firearms is explicitly the line on which we will respond to force with force.
This puts a hard line on where things will shift from cultural war, to either coup or civil war. We're nowhere near that point.
There's a lot of difference between a domestic unrest problem, a relatively small political terrorism problem, a small insurrection, and a full-up civil war. Yes, we may be taking some steps in that direction, but we aren't even close to being there at this time.
Unrest, terrorism, insurrection, and outright civil war are different things. None of them are good, and they can be steadily escalated through, but they shouldn't be conflated.
...That's a surprisingly gutsy stance for Starbucks. Have their leadership realized that it's impossible to appease the woke?
They will but if Starbucks of all people is tired enough of this bullshit to fight back then we are in for the turning point of all of this garbage.
Because yes after 4 years of chimping out people are getting very tired of the far lefts garbage.
Huh did not know that. Then again people that go there are often those that like southern cooking and are generally good to cops
Eh it is fun to walk around for mother or fathers day gifts
Most countries that are suffering mdoern day civil wars are generally much smaller then the US and have tyrrany fom thier leadersOne we got attacked by the Empire of Japan. Two Nazi Germany declared war on us. So that is a bad example
You notice the size Difference between the US and freaking Syria. It ain't gonna happen. I can't believe I will have to say this. Guys take a damn break from the internet. Go outside and talk with regular people in your community. You will find you are in an echo chamber.
You are in Washington that is why. Georgia has no worries, neither do the people I know in Texas and Tennessee.

The CCP is probably laughing their ass off at what's happening to this country.
The CCP would do better to keep it's head low and shut it's big fat yap. There are more and more countries out their pissed at them over the Wuhan Clan epidemic.

By hit, I meant, outright attacks even in non-rioting cities
At some point things occur like throwing bricks with messages like "GTFO NAZI!!!"

How many times do I have to repeat myself; I am not worried about the riots! What's important is the fact that local governments; mayors, governors, district attorneys, et cetera, are siding with the rioters. They are refusing to do their duty and punish people who break the law, because they share a similar ideology with them; do you understand what that means?! It means that they've broken with the rest of the country; America is no longer one indivisible nation, but two nations who outright despise one another, and wish to see the other destroyed.
America is a massive country; but just because conflict isn't happening in your backyard though, does not mean it does not exist. Nor does it mean it won't affect you in the long run.
