Nope. Moderate democrats were drowning in cognitive dissonance because they were seeing the radical left burn down their democrat cities.
Then democrat leaders and their pet media tossed a life-preserver in the water: it’s not radical leftists but white supremacists who are burning down your city! The moderate democrats grabbed on to that life-preserver for all they were worth, overcome with relief and euphoria - because their worldview was once again intact.
It was never the extremists from their side of the divide who were looting, burning, and assaulting. In fact, there aren’t any such people on the left. The left are good and decent and kind and charitable and compassionate. If a bad thing happens, it was obviously the fault of their enemies. Who else could commit evil but the people they believe to be evil?
Tomorrow, moderate democrats will wake up more assured than ever that white conservatives and Trump were responsible for the destruction of our cities. No democrats will seek out the unprecedented trove of primary sources widely available on every social media platform. Deep down, some of the democrats know what they would see, and they know that the stinging pain of cognitive dissonance would return. They will do anything to avoid that pain. Anything.
I was watching CNN during the Space X launch today (I know I know, my bad) Rather than celebrate and embrace the moment they spent 5 minutes bitching about Trump and Pense not wearing masks. SO SO Petty
They used to be the only ones with bandanas covering their faces but now that so many people are using bandanas as virus protection they are harder to identify LOL
