    Honestly, I think a lot of that was a Russian psy op. We all know Russian trolls have been stirring up the far right to stir up unrest, it stands to reason they’d do the same on the far left too (like the soviets funding both neo-nazis and communists in the 60s).

    Plus, “vote for the guy who wants to genocide harder as a protest against genocide” was always a questionable line of reasoning.

      Oh, I 100% agree. And maybe not just Russia, but other foreign enemies (and so-called “allies” like Israel) would benefit a lot from sowing division and installing a complete dipshit like donvict.

      That would be a questionable line of reasoning. Which is why it’s so puzzling that Blue Maga chose that as their main accusation against genocide protestors.
