As I watch this unfold I'm thinking some of the higher ups in trump's administration need some serious looking into for their non response to what was happening.
Here's how you know the claims of it being lefties is bullshit, AND THAT THEY KNOW it is.
If it really HAD BEEN ALL or MOSTLY leftists, as in "ACTUAL members of some group of militant leftists", it wouldn't consist of pissy tweets and conspiracy theories bandied about on social media and Fox News.
Leading lights in EVERY PART of the conservative universe, INCLUDING military and law enforcement, would have moved swiftly and there would already have been huge headlines about massive sweeps and arrests. Every college campus, every square inch of Seattle, SF, Portland, Los Angeles, you name it, would be crawling with teams vacuuming up anyone and everyone who even resembles a leftist.
And HOW MANY actual people on the left have they arrested so far? What is it, two? Three?
This is, and they're even admitting it, a ploy that they think "owns the libtards".
They don't think they've crossed the line and damaged their credibility, and they believe that it's still working.
Some of us remember kids in the neighborhood who couldn't let go of a fad long after everyone else had moved on.
Everyone was into the Pet Rocks for about two months and yet here they are four years later and they're president of the Pet Rock Fan Club.
Everyone bought a Tamagachi and broke theirs, or lost it, or just tossed it in the trash and this kid is still hanging onto theirs, wondering why no one else is interested in it anymore.
The kid who latched onto mullets five years too late, the girl who still tries to dress like Madonna in the 2000's even though it went out of fashion in the Eighties and she's now forty.
The boy who still tries to dress and act like a member of The Back Street Boys today.
The middle aged guy who still wears a Members Only jacket and still puts mousse in his hair, and combs over the bald spot.
