when the George Floyd riots started polling badly, leftists quickly pivoted from “this violence is giving voice to the voiceless” to “this violence is the result of conservative provocateurs”. Leftists committed the violence, but they magically became the victims when their violence was revealed to be unpopular.
That was wild. There was one video of a white man with an umbrella (often used by Antifa) smashing windows, and they immediately claimed that he was a cop and/or a white supremacist.
Of course, they did not follow their logic to its logical conclusion. If it's Evil Conservatives doing it, then you should agree with conservatives that there should be a crackdown on the riots. No such luck, of course.
"The violence at the riot-protests is by undercover cops, not the good innocent protesters." "Yeah, I agree."
"We don't want violence." "Makes sense to me."
"And you preach ACAB?" "Of course!"
"So then we should stop violent rioters with brutality while not prosecuting those that aren't violent." "ERROR ERROR ERROR ERROR REBOOTING Oh, hello! How's the weather today?"
