My speculation is that the actual phasing means very different things to very different people, and thus the actual nuance of what people believe in aggregate to be useless to discern by their agreement or disagreement with singular phrases

They fenced off the entire white house property and brutalized anyone who tried to cross the fence during BLM. These people apparently can just walk right in without even a bit of tear gas.
