And it is comments like this that make my point.
“roving gangs”
Jacky is trying to be facetious but the language is telling. Is this the fear that conservatives have. Roving gangs of liberals or criminals or immigrant criminals that are out to destroy society. What a giant load of unfounded fear and hatred.
The supposed “left” is no more dangerous than any other. Acts of violence are more likely than not to exist without any particular political intent at all.
But the truth doesn’t fit the agenda so Trump and his associates in the media keep hyping the supposed danger which gives him the excuse to exercise his authoritarian powers.
This very argument is one which I didn’t really want to have. Convincing the cult of conservative conspiracy takes a type of deprogramming that you can’t get in an anonymous forum.
