The disconnected between rhetoric and action in American political groups is fascinating. Republicans tell pollsters that violence is legitimate and then go sit inside their houses watching Fox News and whining on Facebook. Democrats tell pollsters that violence is illegitimate and then go out into the streets to protest, which then regularly includes violence against people trying to get past road blockages, looting of businesses, damage to cars and buildings in the area, etc. Somehow the multiple months of widespread violence across America under the banners of "Antifa" or BLM or "Occupy X" or whatever leftwing banner doesn't count as violence, but some law-abiding citizen ranting on social media under a rightwing philosophy is treated as if they're a huge threat. It's the most mindboggling double-standard gaslighting.
