A video clip shows another suspect, Brandon Caserta, standing in front of an anarchist flag saying Trump is a "tyrant.”
The right wing media seems to want to associate the actions with the Left or BLM, which seems like a reach. But I don’t see how someone calling Trump a tyrant can possibly be associated with Trump himself.
Boogaloo movement more likely, experts say
Cooter, who recently dug into this issue on Twitter, told us she’s seen "zero evidence that (the suspects) are antifa."
She speculated that some people are conflating anarchy and antifa to try to divert attention away from the suspects’ militia connections.
"I’ll just point out that the plot to kidnap the governor had more ties to the anarchist left than to Trump."
and your source does not back that up, and now you are saying "seems like a reach" about the subject of your own statement.
- Anarchism is traditionally associated with the left (broadly, that is, not the Democratic (big D) left) and one of the members called Trump a tyrant with an anarchist flag in the background.
Trump can't simultaneously be an anarchist and a tyrant. That makes no sense.
I also remind you that I merely said "there is more evidence" than "it is directly connected."
Imagine a far left group did the same thing and also called Obama a tyrant. Is Obama responsible for them? I don't think so.
The comment I replied to is suggesting Trump is a theocratic authoritarian. We had this same rhetoric four years ago. It's clearly absurd.
I don't like Trump, didn't vote for him, and won't be voting for him, but this constant over-reactive nonsense is really unhelpful. Biden is a weak candidate, perhaps the weakest in decades. Everyone that doesn't vote for him isn't some kind of right wing lunatic fringe figure intent on destroying democracy.
