    It’s based on cowardice

    They want people they don’t like to be get hurt, arrested, beaten, jailed, intimidated and threatened because it makes them feel good about themselves.

    However, they don’t want any of that stuff happen anywhere near them … or have anyone ask them to do any of those activities themselves … they just want to watch on the sidelines and shout out their support for everything as long as it all goes their way.

    And it’s also a distraction from everything else in life. THEIR GUY in power might be destroying their country, making everything expensive and making everyone, regardless of their political affiliation, miserable … but as long as they can turn on the news and watch brown people and other minorities getting arrested and intimidated by goons in black masks and sunglasses, then it all makes up for the fact that the country is slowly degrading around them.
