One of the most eye-opening moments of 2020 for me was when one of my acquaintances who I had always thought of as a go-to example of "I know someone who is as conservative as they come, but at least he supports democracy, opposes violence, and sees us all as fellow Americans" came out in support of people driving over BLM protesters if they got in their way. Of course, he then decided the election was stolen in November and then basically left all social media after January 6th after sharing a post that Big Tech was engaging in Orwellian censorship by taking away Trump's Twitter account.
Which is all to say, this is a radicalization pipeline. This is exactly how ISIS (and probably Hamas too, to some extent) wants its supporters to look at the world. In their case, it's just replacing peaceful protesters with members of other religions - two groups so historically connected that they are protected in the same breath in the Constitution.
George HW Bush sent in the military to deal with the LA Rioters while Trump didn’t have the courage to do what HW Bush did .
The BLM riots were a complete disgrace and their demands helped harm this nation
This was his post. That picture was the Charlottesville attack, although he posted it in August 2020.
