They see the point.

It’s a false victimhood narrative designed to make conservative voters feel as though they are the ones who are the real victims.

The ‘reasonable’ rebels: Conservatives say we’ve abandoned reason and civility. The Old South used the same language to defend slavery. Eva Fairbanks in WaPo

After the El Paso shooting, Ben Shapiro — a popular conservative podcaster — asked Americans to draw a line between the few conservatives who are white supremacists and those who, like him, aren’t. Almost all Americans are “on the same side,” he said, and “we should be mourning together.” In his telling, we aren’t, for “one simple reason: Too many on the political left [are] castigating the character of those who disagree,” lumping conservatives and political nonconformists together with racists and xenophobes.
