Silver-plate (tinfoil?) lining, for once the mantra BOTH SIDES seems to be true: The milky-pale anarcho-kiddies and wannabe-antifa are working in concert dissonance with the bent cops, Threepers, and grab-bag white supremacists to destroy minority communities in the name of FREEEDUMB!!!

If you cant stop yourself from weedling into every legitimate protest to act out a toddler's version of your ideology, the best thing you can do to advance the causes you're hijacking is to jump out of a plane and vandalize your parachute

Speaking of which:
is this a strongman slyly calling for a pro-regime mob to mass at his mansion’s gates against aggrieved citizens exercising rights of speech and assembly? that’s what correspondents might reasonably ask were it outside usa— this bountiful, free, egalitarian, democratic land. https://t.co/0N02mL486y

Or, hear me out, a bunch of white jackasses co-opted a spontaneous uproar among black people, made it last beyond its natural 24-48 hour expiration date, and the president with his numbers in freefall panicked and did the only dance he knows how to do. https://t.co/D5hAXNJAXd
