The "riots" are not Black Lives Matter marches gone wrong.
Armed white nationalists are mobbing these cities to take advantage
of protests and scare fellow white people into quietly siding with them.
It's an old, tried and true strategy: using fear & anti-blackness for politics.
Also it's a nifty way to get us to stop talking about the fact that by
Election Day, 200,000 Americans will likely be dead from the
coronavirus because of Trump's incompetence;
the Postal Service could be all-but broken,
and the economy destroyed.
