I know it's Breitbart, but this is really a classic example of conservative hypocrisy, especially coming from that of young conservatives and neo nazis. I want to show this because this is how they think and this is what we are up against. They really are getting nuttier, and they really can't let go of Antifa. Wow.
The most dangerous place you can be out on a college campus is at a Turning Point [recruiting] table, said Johnson, because the left has warped into a violent movement, this has been seen across the country, Antifa has seen dozens and dozens of arrests, and oftentimes, the easiest person to target on the right is a young student.
Johnson also spoke about members of Black Lives Matter, who showed up at one of his campus appearances to protest his speech this past semester. Johnson noted that he was able to have a productive dialogue with the student protesters, who told him that they believed the criminal justice system treats their communities unfairly.
Do you trust the government? I asked, said Jonson of his conversation with the protesters, They said, No, absolutely not, we do not trust the government, we think the government is targeting certain populations of people unfairly. I said, Well, most conservatives are principled on the one issue that we really do not trust the government and the people who run it.'

And we're the hysterical lunatics? GTFO! I think they protest too much.

(17,984 posts)That's why you often see people here on DU chastising a poster who is starting down a rabbit hole. Conspiracy theories, I believe, are just immature wish fulfillment. Now, if we could just convince these people they can fly if they really try hard enough and deliver them to the top of a very tall building...

(36,413 posts)& how conspiracy theories on the left get bounced back into the main stream media & debunked, but the conspiracy theories on the right never get out of the rw echo chamber & just bounce around getting stronger & nuttier. My rwnj cousin, who I've had to discontinue contact with, believes all this deep state shit. He could never write the word "left" without a derogatory adjective before it. Let's see if I have them all: angry, hateful, hypocritical, lying, outraged, radical, unhinged, and violent. Yeah, that covers it.
