No one suggested that all Trump supporters are uneducated, and there is no denying that when Trump saw how popular he is with the uneducated he said he loved them.

So the far left are all good people in your mind?

They're not trying to kidnap governors or sending pipe bombs to Democrats or running people over with their car in Charlottesville or killing BLM marchers in Wisconsin or murdering 23 people in El Paso. Need I go on?

C'mon now, no need to coddle the rambutans of BLM rioters or Anarchists.  Terrorism is “the unlawful use of force and violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce".  Both ideologies are trash.  BLM tallied up $2B in property damages and numerous lives lost, and Anarchists have similar crimes to answer for.  Both groups are comprised of pathetic losers and should be called out, as should those who support them.

No, your words are those of the uneducated, unaware, or intentionally ignorant. Rioters and anarchists are NOT the same as BLM protesters, and it's been established that both left and right extremists have sent these pathetic losers in to detract from the message.

Just one one example of white, rightwing extremists fermenting trouble at BLM protests, there are others.

Notice how this sort is particularly threatened by women in positions of influence.

Just look at how, even in here, they froth at the mouth merely at the mention of AOC and Greta Thunberg, to name just two.

Somethin' 'taint right with these boys.

Issues growing up with mom, coupled with dad not being around.

 

Dad wasn't there to be a proper male role model, showing them how to treat and respect women. Mom had to try doing this by herself. So then the kids grew up thinking women are all crazy and out to get them.

 

Yet there's plenty of men who grew up in single mom households and did just fine. They listened to mom, while others didn't. I know because I've had plenty of examples among my own friends and family. The ones who listened to mom ended up being successful, independent adults. The ones didn't, well uh, you kind of need to know how to get along with women representing 50% of the population. Thus, they're the ones who wound up with trouble at work, couldn't hold down jobs, couldn't find a place to stay and couch surfed, then developed substance abuse problems, and antisocial activities like those seen here.

He did say that after the poorly educated voted for him , you are trying to give it a different meaning 

No he didn't.

He said it in February 2016, well before he was elected.

"I love the poorly educated" Donald J. Trump.

 

I think he got that term from pollster Frank Luntz, whom he later fired.  Luntz has popped up in the past week or so (he grew a beard) so I'm guessing somebody is paying him.   The new term is "non-college whites," NCW.

He himself got his education at Oxford.  Mississippi.

I have no issue with 'protesters' supporting black rights or police brutality.  Read carefully, you seem to be a bit challenged there.  The 'BLM Rioters' that are rioting in support of the BLM organization are trash.  Peacefully protest all you want, no issue there.  Throw a brick at a person or a loot a store, and you better measure yourself for a body-bag in my state.

And you are challenged because you wear the Fox-colored glasses. THERE ARE NO "BLM Rioters." Those two words are mutually exclusive, but the Fox narrative wants to keep you thinking that way, just like they continued to hammer Colin Kaepernick as an antigovernment rioter for kneeling. Until you can wrap your head around that, you're stuck in a mental rut.

Thank you.  Interesting that he loves the uneducated, but not, apparently, the young, the old, the educated...or anyof the other groups he mentioned.

Barr calls alleged kidnapping plot 'abhorrent,' says he was briefed this week

 

Kupec said it's not unusual for Barr to be briefed so close to the announcement of the charges. The U.S. attorney general stands by his statements from late July, when he said he was unaware of violent threats at Michigan protests suggesting Gov. Gretchen Whitmer should be lynched, the spokeswoman said. 

Attorney General William Barr

"He finds this behavior abhorrent and is totally supportive of the FBI’s investigation and the U.S. Attorney's actions," Kupec said.

Michigan as a hotbed of anti-government, right-wing extremist groups:

 

Quote

 

Michigan is “the birthplace of the modern militia,” said Daryl Johnson, a former counterterrorism analyst for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security who now consults law enforcement agencies on domestic terrorism.

...

Johnson said there are hundreds of militia groups in the country with tens of thousands of members, but establishing concrete statistics is difficult. The upper Midwest, including Michigan, Ohio and Indiana, remains a hotbed of activity, he said. 
 

The common themes include an “ultra-nationalistic” point of view, antigovernment beliefs, Islamaphobia, passion for Second Amendment gun rights and “a willingness to take up arms,” Johnson said.
