Reply to comment by CactusBoyScout in New York Will Pay Millions to Protesters Violently Corralled by Police by mowotlarx

Conservatives obtusely conflating peaceful protests and looting is such a fundamental part of their playbook these days it’s laughable. Anyone with half a working brain cell can see right through it - but unfortunately it’s an effective tactic when courting their MAGA cult of idiots to get further in lockstep against progressives.

They just equate skin color with peace.

Black people exist? Violent. Mobs of white people attacking police and attempting to kill politicians? Peaceful

To be fair, these days they oscillate between dog whistling that sentiment and just shamelessly saying it.

MAGA cult of idiots, if only.

“I’m a moderate Democrat but protestors really should learn to respect the officers in blue.”

“Gosh that’s horrible, it was a really dangerous time to be outside at night anyways. Why are they provoking the police?? Let them do their jobs.”

Roll eye so they join the space x train all the way around the globe and back.
