So, then, it's not the crime you detest. It is the people with whom you disagree that you detest.
Seems like a clear case of hypocrisy here. It's conservatives who have proven that they don't care about the act and more about who is doing it.
-
Democrats did condemn the BLM riots. The record is clear on this.
- Democrats are condemning the Trump Nation riots in D.C. The record is clear ion this.
So, no hypocrisy there. In the meantime, it was conservatives who chose to pretend that there was no message when black people simply knelt. They then chose to pretend that there was no message when BLM demonstrated. And when some broke into riots, conservatives felt vindicated in ignoring that message as they focused on only condemning BLM as a whole. Always, they merely condemned blacks for opening their mouths. They even created "all lives matter" or "blue lives matter" as means to belittle the message.
Now, conservatives rush to defend Trump nation even after it tried to terrorize American senators into destroying American democracy on their behalf in the very heart of our democracy. Did you notice how quiet all of them were on this site as that was happening? This is because they haven't the ability to think for themselves apart from the mob that right-wing propaganda and the GOP created to serve their right-wing purposes. Faced with an in-the-moment event of their making, they didn't know how to react. As Republicans in Congress flipped and immediately began condemning it (with plenty still playing their partisan game about debunked fraud), conservatives everywhere still remained silent. But as soon as FOX News began peddling their nonsense to help conservatives cope and distract from what they just watched, they all defaulted to typical lies and a re-focus on BLM. Conservatives in airports harassed and terrorized even Lindsey Graham for daring to be disloyal to their would-be-emperor (FOX steered clear of this and continued to push the lie about Democrat hypocrisy). Conservatives on this site, after receiving their right-wing dose of delusion, began launching into attacks on BLM and how a cop in D.C. "murdered" a white woman storming Congress.
So, what we have is a Democrat record condemning riots and violence of both, while clearly understanding the issues; and a Republican record of attacking protestors in one and defending protestors in the other, while playing obtuse for political purposes. Why conservatives continue to choose to pretend that the GOP is a conservative party, and not a treacherous right-wing party, is beyond me.
To me, folks committing crimes are criminals. It seems likely that frustrations they felt, in all cases, were the cause. There is no difference in the frustrations felt. Only in the factors causing the frustrations.
Are you seriously excusing all of the various crimes committed BEFORE Tuesday, but suddenly condemning the same crimes now? The crimes and causes are identical. Only the actors have changed.
Why do you excuse the crime if committed by one but not if the same crime was committed by another? Seems odd.
And this is that right-wing propaganda belittling what you witnessed. You are absolutely wrong.
There is a grave difference between BLM rioters protesting police brutality and tearing down a Confederate statue for slavery in dipshit, Nebraska; and rioter's in D.C. who's sole purpose is to tear down democracy in an act of sedition and national treason for an autocrat wannabe. The crimes are different. The causes are definitely different. You choose to pretend that these are the same things, because right-wing propaganda told you to obey the garbage that they peddle. For that matter:
- BLM also demonstrated in D.C. .....Did they seek to tear down democracy?
- Anti-Vietnam War protestors demonstrated in D.C. ....Did even they seek to destroy American democracy?
No, only Trump followers and supporters did this. That's how different they are and their cause. And this trivial, nonchalant attitude about "all crime is just crime" is part of that belittling about what you witnessed. The same belittling that "all lives matter" was ever meant to do.
