You know how the right wing likes to paint the left wing as simultaneously violent thugs and precious little snowflakes? That's starting to feel a lot more like projection nowadays.

Yeah, claiming victim-hood is the latest conservative tactic. Take any video or picture and claim it is an attack by a liberal. Here is one where a guy was trying to steal another guys coat and got what he deserved but they turned it into an attack by liberals-

I'm sure actual attacks occur as crazy knows no political boundary but in the video you can clearly see the guy trying to get his coat back. Also in the hat one you can tell it's just flipping his hat off and not a punch but hey, guy got his feelings hurt. Conservatives have a word for that.

Oh goodness me, she hit him on the head? And with such incredible force that his hat flew right off? Wow, what a dangerous criminal. Surely he'll need counselling for the rest of his life. If you can even call it life, that is. I mean, he's already showing signs of brain damage, like wearing a MAGA hat.

Given the way it's being reported, the way Berkeley is treating it, and that the video was recorded by a 3rd party, I doubt it's quite so simple as that.
Oh wait. We're supposed to be stoking up Vae here. Yeah. The trumptard deserved it.

That's the kind of hateful attitude we like!...It's much easier to accept assaulting people in the opposing political party if we denigrate and dehumanize them first!...

Yeah! Yeah! Keep telling us what we're supposed to think about this, Vae! It might be starting to work!

I know...assaulting someone should be legal and okay when they are a Trump supporter!...

Apparently, the cops didn't get the memo!...:mad:
I swear this is worth a second look. It's comical as hell. At one point they quote the arresting officer as saying she had a strong odor of alcohol on her breath. Can you imagine anyone in a bar having an odor of alcohol on their breath? That's unpossible. And the all serious music playing in the background oooOOOOooooo. Surely a major infraction of etiquette has occurred ginormous proportions. The horror.

Yeah, there is more I'm sure. But while the video is playing the news anchor is claiming the guy who hit the other guy is trying to take his cell phone. Ummm what happened to the anchors eyes that he can't see the guy who got hit trying to pull the other guys coat? The cell phone did not enter into it. Maybe there is other film not seen yet of a cell phone attempted theft? Maybe. But what you can see is the coat being fought over and the coat is obviously the guys who did the punching because the other guy was wearing a coat already.

You know, Vae, I've considering banning you for a couple days just so you'd have something to talk about with your friends elsewhere. I mean a Trump defender getting banned from a liberal leaning forum? That'd be better than Christmas!
...but I'm not that nice. I'd have to ban you for a couple of weeks for attempting to trolling everyone with these obvious fucko strawmen you keep posting up. I mean they don't contribute anything. You're not attempting to engage in a discussion. You just roll up at random to post stupid shit to rile up the natives.
Though if I were, you could still play the victim, so there is a silver lining, at least. You could even say my being a smart ass about this whole affair is nothing more than me wresting with my cognitive dissonance, knowing that, as an alleged liberal, I'm supposed to be open to other viewpoints, but orange man bad. THERE ARE SO MANY ANGLES YOU COULD PLAY! AN EXCESS OF CHOICE, ALL AT YOUR DISPOSAL!

I don't know that he's contributing nothing, exactly. If anything, he's demonstrating the disparity between what the right wing reactionaries want to rile people up about and the things that are happening that actually matter.
Just compare and contrast...
The arrest of a white nationalist Coast Guard officer who had been stocking up guns and researching ways to kill "leftists".
The arrest of some random girl flipping a MAGA hat off a precious snowflake.
The second one obviously being much more important to some people.
