The double standard is thriving

So the rioters go to jail . . . .Thats fine. It is what should happen without exception. Same for inciting a crowd of protesters to violently run amoke. I wholly support legal consequences for that too.

Yet all during the summer of 2020 and before that, crowds of protesters that supported left or liberal causes were allowed to run through the streets of many American cities burning and looting. Lives were lost as well. In a well documented case, a man stood on the hood of a car and reputedly encouraged a crowd to "Burn it down!". . . .and Ferguson Missouri burned.


The FBI seems to be able to identify and intercept a few crazies who plotted to kidnap the Governor of Michigan. They seem to b able to figure out who rioted violently at the Capitol and who planned it. Why can't they figure out who is responsible for the property destruction and violence in Portland, Seattle, Chicago and elsewhere across the land?

Antifa is not a unified organization but rather a movement without a hierarchical leadership structure, comprising multiple autonomous groups and individuals.[32][40][45][53] The movement is loosely affiliated[37] and has no chain of command, with antifa groups instead sharing "resources and information about far-right activity across regional and national borders through loosely knit networks and informal relationships of trust and solidarity."[25

Black Lives Matter should not be thought of as a left wing or even liberal cause. It was meant to correct the perceived injustice against blacks by law enforcement.

The majority of the BLM protests were peaceful but to say that those breaking the law were not arrested is incorrect:

"Police have arrested only 69 people connected to the Capitol building invasion so far, far fewer than those arrested during BLM protests this summer"

To compare what happened last week at the Capitol building to BLM protests is an apples-to-oranges comparison.

Experts and activists denounce comparison between Capitol siege and BLM protests

But the two events were fundamentally different. One was an intentional, direct attack on a hallowed democratic institution, with the goal of overturning a fair and free election. The other was a coast-to-coast protest movement demanding an end to systemic racism that occasionally, but not frequently, turned violent.

There is a perception by the Trumpites that the information they get via social media and blatantly alt-right news sources are somehow bound by ethics or truth, even though they’ve got to know it’s mostly bullshit.

So much of their anger is based on things “people are saying,” just like their failed leader.

So much of what they now believe about BLM, Antifa and Trump for that matter, is based on carefully crafted lies, fueled by deep seated racism and xenophobia and the erosion of white privilege.

It’ll be a long time before the people of this country entrust the reins of government to an ill-informed, gleefully ignorant mob again.

Therein lies the Republican dilemma.
