Id say a big difference is that one side was just words and the other side is actually doing it.

Did you read the OP? I don't see the OP asking anyone to support anyone else.
All I see is it pointing out that last month Sheriff Clarke was calling for "pitchforks and torches" but is now on the other side.
In other words, you guys are actually being deceptive by lying when you say it, and are just venting and taunting when you call for pitchforks, torches, new Civil Wars, and 2nd Amendment remedies. LOL You can't even keep your story straight.
"Watering the Tree of Liberty" and firing squads....get your musket! The Right was threatening violence from the start!
Let's not forget the slogan "The Electoral College is a Disaster for Democracy!"

To everyone thinking these are just stupid kids breaking their own neighborhoods and crying, you have no idea of the anger and resentment that is now felt by young people that will soon be directed at any government bearing the name of Trump.
I hate to break it to you, but the right wing scared safe space liberal narrative is a lie. I'm a millennial, and even I'm not sure what has just awoken. But it's big, and its going to be scary to a lot of the establishment Trump types.
And yet it was Trump that talked to them directly and said (paraphrasing) "try me...what have you got to lose."
I exist in a world among lots of millennials. Some of them are already on their way to success because their parents taught them how to succeed and also what to do when you lose. The ones that are successful and happy did not buy into the stupidity that everyone deserves a trophy for just showing up. Their parents taught them that that is bogus and unhealthy.
Unfortunately, many of them didn't have those kinds of parents and these kids grew up in the social experimental period where they were treated with kid gloves and never allowed to feel anything other than winning, even when they really didn't win. They were coddled to, allowed to misbehave, and "set their own direction" without any boundaries.
If you listened to Trump more than one or two times....really listened to him....then you will understand that helping the disadvantaged especially in the inner cities is of utmost importance to him. It won't be by giving them handouts, but it will be by jobs and infrastructure improvements, and educational choices, and securing the borders to lessen the tide of illegal drugs and gang bangers coming into your neighborhoods.
He KNOWS that the Democrats absolutely need these poverty-stricken areas and hopeless populations because for fifty years or better they have held a carrot out to them dangling on a stick in order to get votes and remain in power.
I've listened to every public speech Trump has given in the last year, and I haven't heard any of that. And this is part of the problem. As I said in another thread, Trumps words are wide open to interpretation, and everyone's favorite thing to do is beat each other over the head with their own interpretations of what he said.
This is what a lot of the division we're seeing is based on. A president has to make himself explicitly clear on what he's saying, his motives, and who he's talking to or they risk what we're seeing now. The presidents words have a power that Trump just seems to shrug off, either from ignorance or not caring. Either prospect is frightening, given the power he's about to receive.
No you haven't listened to his speeches. I don't want to call you a liar, but if you haven't heard his plans for helping our inner cities, you have not heard his speeches....period. You can start with this one:

We need an SJW mob to walk around a corner into this and see what they do...

Dude. Joke.
We start with two things that we can do. One is we can volunteer, and the other is we can stay connected to each other. Volunteer with Planned Parenthood, or with any other organization that really matters to you. Volunteering is a way to say, ‘We’re making these groups stronger. This is one way our voice will be heard.’
