Conservatives automatically assume

If Black people riot, it’s “BLM”
If white people riot, it’s “antifa”

The goal is to demean these groups via guilt by association. It doesn’t matter if the “rioters” are in fact local gangs having no connection to BLM or white gangs like the Proud Boys not connected to antifa, and in some places, even fighting with antifa.

Demeaning the opposition is a central Trumpist tenet, as is ignoring facts that don't fit the narrative.

@MistyCee 😂 nobody demeans the opposition with lies like democrats

@MistyCee Well, maybe the mainstream media. It's a toss up.

@eli1601 ok, thanks for demonstrating another central tenet of Trumpism for us.

I don't think it's a conservative thing. Cruz called Trump out for it, and he's no libtard.

@MistyCee Good job ignoring what's right in front of your face every day. The central tenant of TDS.

MistyCee

@eli1601 You're still doing it.
