Projection of the shadow has become the GOP standard. BLM protesters âget away with murder?â It might feel like a challenge to your privilege is âmurder,â but itâs actually not. I am afraid Trumpâs followers are about to demonstrate the difference.
Nope. Police had nothing to do with it.

Politico buried that lede nicely, and other media seems to be buying Trumpâs statement over the CPD.
Trump is such a true throwback to earlier America, perhaps heâs hired the Pinkerton National Detective Agency, long known for their effective methods against unionists, rabble-rousers, strikers, and protesters.
Quickest incarnation of Godwinâs law ever.
Perhaps Donald Trump should form an elite Protective Squadron-- maybe with snazzy black uniforms.
we definitely donât need the Pinkertons descending like locusts. t
classy black uniforms, very classy.
Bonus: he could point to his honored guard and say
Those are the black lives that really matter. Am I right, or am I right?
Trump keeps talking about how violent the protestors are (when theyâre the ones having violence inflicted upon them), he keeps insisting that the people who attacked protestors were doing so in self-defense (when this is clearly not the case, as evidenced by video), etc. I think of it like those police who shout âstop resistingâ for the benefit of any cameras while beating some unconscious/cowering guy on the ground. Itâs not terribly convincing but serves to create some doubt in the minds of those who want to believe in them.
Meanwhile, the guy who sucker-punched the protestor in the gif did some media interviews where he promised to murder the protestor if he saw him againâŚ
Was Trump âattackedâ today? Hardly.
This is getting so much like his WWF days, except the violence, at least, isnât fake (the violence against those protesting Trump, that is).
Letâs get one thing clear, in my tiny mind, protesting is fine, but acting violently as a protestor diminishes your side of the argument. I havenât seen anywhere near the level of animosity from the protestor side. I have seen plenty of footage of angry Drumpf crowds assaulting folks - mainly black folks. The footage of that guy sucker punching the young man w his elbow is incontrovertible. And the videos of him saying next time may hafta kill him! wow. And the police reaction? Dog pile on the black guy mayday mayday!!!
Only a matter of time until someone dies at one of these ârallies.â Next thing you know itâll be armbands and mandatory lapel pins, pogroms and phrenology, ethnic cleansing on a scale not seen since WWII. Thatâs what these guys are promising. Is there a R who isnât advocating camps and cattle cars for 11 million people? Anyone?
Please donât throw your shoe at Drumpf, you could very easily be shot or beaten to death. This is American, letâs try to keep it classy, real classy, the classiest. Yugely classy, amirite?
Oops, I meant his WWE days.
Touche!
Yes and itâs generally been the protestors whoâve been attacked, not the protestors doing the attacking. Iâm unsure why you felt the need to say that they need to be non-violent, when itâs clearly the Drumpf folks who canât keep their hands to themselvesâŚ
The distinction matters!
