It's pretty clear MAGA wants violence against their opposants and will justify it further for any violence against their own regardless of who and what.

Orwell's description of "doublethink" is extremely accurate. They know that the left is violent and wild, like really believe it, and they also believe that their opponents deserve death and it's a good thing when it happens.

The brain is a powerful tool. Once you teach it certain self-deceptive patterns it will happily sabotage itself if that's what you want it to do. Skillful use of language ("violence" versus "what they deserve") is key.

They're past that. They'll just tell the true believers that it was a conservative judge, so must've been leftist antifa. They'll just lie like that. They own the government, they own the media, there's another constitutional crisis every single day to distract.

That's how nazi propaganda works, and it's exactly why it must be stopped globally.

Easy for the right to believe that when their ~~favorite~~ only media sources will never report on this
