As is always the case with Lefties, they don't think it is X when they are doing it because in their mind its necessary, you forced them into it, or they've simply redefined it to not be X.

The last is often the one they choose. Its why masks and gays aren't politics, its just "human rights." And I'm going to wager Trudie here thinks he was breaking up a hate filled riot, not "oppressing" anyone.
