I misspoke. I didn’t realise that these guys were defending a statue. Without the context, what most people will see is the right wing getting aggressive, not good optics when we’re trying to convince moderates that we hold the moral high ground.
Moderate Americans are watching the riots and violence and thinking, fuck this, I need law and order. As soon as the news media gets a clip of right wingers getting violent, it will be all over national media for weeks and used as an example of all trump supporters forever. At the moment, the undecided voters are on our side. It could change.
My wife hates trump and has socialist parents. I showed her a Jesse Lee Peterson video this weekend about black lives matter and she couldn’t agree more. She even started to tell her sibling all about it. Red pills work!
What a mess!
