re: #63 Anymouse

A friend of mine from college, who bills himself as a Reagan Republican and claimed not to have voted for Trump, yesterday referred to “so-called protestors, paid by Soros”.

When I asked him if he really thought that 5 Million people turned out on 21Jan because Soros paid them, he said, “No. Just the violent ones.”

So I asked him why Soros would pay for people to break windows and burn stuff, which threatened to delegitimize the actual protests, he said, “Soros has paid anarchists before”.

Basically, it doesn’t have to make a lick of sense. All it has to do is make the other side look bad. This ‘Circle The Wagons’ response, from Republicans who despised Trump, is why fighting him is an uphill battle.
