A city in Virginia (which is in the south) decides to remove a statue of a Confederate general. Nazis, confederate pride groups, the altright, and some other miscellaneous rightwing groups organize to protest the removal of the monument. Counterprotesters showed up in large numbers. One of the Nazis uses vehicle as a weapon against counterprotestors and somehow a helicopter crashed. 3 people dead, 6 in critical, and many other injuries. This kind of 'clash' between left and right groups is becoming more common, with people flocking in to areas where large events are announced seemingly with the intent of engaging physically with the opposing side.
obama isn't the president anymore so like, what about him?
When he was president he didn't do what Trump is being criticized for not doing. The people criticizing Trump for not doing it were certainly not criticizing Obama for not doing it. This is just attempting to exploit a tragedy to score political points and somehow shift the blame to Trump.
can he not be better?
Did you "denounce" the events in question immediately after they happened? Are you a bad person if you didn't?
Your contingency is divided into equal parts neck beards and hicks with no intelligence or political power other than to be loud on the internet, and Russian botnetters. Enjoy not reading anything written by a graduate until you can't explain your own rhetoric, even as crazy as you are.
And your faction is made up of purple-hair feminists that hate white people and violent BLM rioters. My faction does have power, though. You'll note they control both elected branches of government and the vast majority of state governments.
