When Trump calls white supremacists 'good people' he invites the comparison.
We could get into the argument about the Leftards and BLM.
'Yes, but', arguments are rarely persuasive, it acknowledges the truth of the original statement.

The simple fact is Trump called white supremacists 'good people' No if's or but's.
Another idiotic comment, BLM and what it stands for are undisputed and so is Leftard support, I'll not comment any more because as usual you'll carry on and on and on and on because you must always have the last word no matter what.

The WorldFreedomIndex seems to have misinterpreted the meaning of "free".

It is actually defined as the right to sling an AR-15 over your shoulder, and hang out at the state governors office; or run some poor black guy down and shoot him under "stand your ground"; or send the uniformed thugs in to clear a path with tear gas and riot shields so a Bloated Orange Bullshitter can walk unmolested between the White House and a local church for a photo op.

What is very clear now, on this forum, there is no middle ground. you are pro-trump or you are not. Not anybody sitting on the fence, and willing to jump left or right. However, the real votes in in the USA.

An interesting article

Trump letting Covid 19 rip through the US potentially endangers all of us and makes a return to the pre-Covid world less and less likely.

However, he is ruthlessly controlling the Republican party, those governors are in for a world of hurt if they buck his agenda. There is also an established pattern of the Feds bullying the states.

An example, the drinking age used to vary state by state, in 1984 congress made the drinking age 21. To enforce this against state rights, they attached the highway funding rounds with the proviso that if the state did not raise the drinking age to 21, they got no road funding.

State rights in the USA are not nearly as independent as they are in Oz.

More and more, Republican politicians are mandating masks statewide, breaking from President Donald Trump who still resists the idea even though he finally wore one in public, once, last weekend.
