Hurry up! I got shit to do.
The left knows exactly what they are doing. They want to provoke the right to violence and be able to use the media to spin the whole thing in their favor. We know the MSM is squarely in their corner so I feel like we are being set up. This is dangerous and if we don't handle these aggressions right (not saying to let them win), while we may have the strength to win overall, we may lose in the court of public opinion.
All very true, sadly.Must disagree in some way, actually.....completely disagree. If you're out in public, are harassed by a group of leftists, and you have your loved ones with you, all bets are off. Public opinion doesn't pay for hospital bills, a funeral or a young child's future mental care due to memories of a nasty situation.
Frankly, the time for worrying about the "optics" of any situation like this are long gone. Public opinion, which really is a worthless commodity since 50% of this country are borderline insane, is controlled by the cultural Marxist media.
German Jews were worried about "optics", since they were all good German citizens, and many were WWI vets - they got Kristallnacht, Yellow Stars and the Holocaust. Sorry, boys and girls, I'm not getting on the cattle car, ever.
