    When I read the first part of this title, I expected them to install one for the insurrectionists/traitors. That would be very on par with that pile of dog shit government.

    So in the minds of MAGA:

    • Fuck the police because they were interrupting a totally peaceful and loving protest
    • BackTheBlue because cops are always wonderful and if you have any issues with them it was because you weren’t complying with their demands
    • Jan6 was violent but everyone at the event was actually antifa
    • People arrested and charged at Jan6 deserved to be exonerated because everyone at the event were peaceful god-fearing patriots

    🫠

    Edit: as always, I’m reminded of this quote:

    Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

    “Back the blue. Well, eventually, maybe. If they were preventing our terrorists from stealing an election for PEDOnald, we’ll have to drag it out for several years at least.”
