I've seen some right wing folks whining about Black Lives Matter protesters causing a Trump campaign rally in Chicago to be cancelled. Interesting since a while back BLM protesters disrupted a Bernie Sanders campaign event. The difference was that in the Sanders case, no one was arrested, and no one was beaten up.
Meanwhile at Trump rallies, peaceful protesters are beaten and arrested. Hell, reporters are beaten and arrested at Trump rallies. Beyond that, Mr. Trump has both tacitly and explicitly excused the violence on the part of his followers. His followers have even beaten up people who they though might be Latinx or Muslim - even when the people being beaten were peacefully minding their own business. Trump says his followers are enthusiastic and 'want to make America great again'. Sorry, but it looks to me like they want to make America bigoted again, and Trump is cheering them on.
It is also funny, since the right wingers seem to attribute the BLM protesters to the Sanders campaign. Funny, since the majority of blacks seem to support Hillary. Even in Michigan they were two to one for Hillary, and in the South they have been four to one for HIllary.
But even when they have been peaceful, the protesters are called violent and thugs, and Trump says they probably deserved being beaten. Can the right wing see or tell the truth about anything?
