Hey tunic,
that's funny and all, but I'm just wondering: do you live in the U.S.?
This is exactly the kind of thing that is feeding Trump and his supporters. His approval rates may be down, but he still has a lock on people's fears. Activists are being labeled rioters. Actual rioters are being used to drive home the perspective that Trump is somehow protecting the nation from seething, aggressive, violent threats to the American way of life.
Personally, I'm trying to take a more restrained approach to this, and I've had more success convincing Trumpeters of the genuine threats he and his administration pose when I distance myself from this kind of thing. Every emotional, angry response to this insanity is being construed as confirmation of Trump's beliefs and the necessity of his presence in the White House by scared little xenophobes everywhere.
Just saying.
