I've been seeing a lot of trumpists insist MAGA folk aren't violent so any of the violence must be being done by leftist infiltrators. I'm wondering what percentage actually believe it - it seems like an obvious excuse to us but then people's delusional state can be intense https://twitter.com/StrangeAlienSky/status/1347615755173466112

I've also seen one say that the guy who was seen replacing a US flag with a trump one must also be an infiltrator because MAGA folk are "patriots", and he seemed to believe it

I think it's easy to say they're they're lying to avoid looking bad but It really seems like these are people who have been convinced that their side is the "good" side and if anyone does something they Don't percieve as good it must be someone trying to make them look bad
