as it pertains to looting and destruction of property
Im getting pretty tired of hearing Republicans harp about the BLM protests and the destruction to property and the looting that occurred incident to the protests.
But its especially galling to hear their hypocrisy while their minions storm the capitol buildings of the U. S. Congress and steal everything that isnt tied down. Worse yet, some of my more conservative friends (trumpsters in case there is any doubt) like to insinuate that streets after the BLM protests were covered with trash, urine and other bodily wastes. You, know, just like the MAGATS did to the capitol building.
I think there is some suspicion that when the order of civilization breaks down, human beings do things that they wouldnt normally do because they feel unleashed by otherwise civilized behavior.
This isnt bothsidesism
.its a call to Republicans to notice that they are in fact just as guilty as they presume us to be.
