When those few actions from a few individuals reaches the level of violence, destruction, rhetoric, etc caused by the mobs from the left then perhaps it can be called payback. I see it as a few folks finally reaching their point of saturation from the on-going bs for pretty much the entire past 4-5 yrs. Just my two cents worth.Well, let’s see—
the Proud Boys/Boogaloo Boi rioting in DC a few weeks back involved a bit of torch work...(and I would point out that the riots of this summer were not aimed at conservatives, but more toward racial injustices).
There has been plenty of idiots in trucks flying Trump flags screaming at people & throwing soda bottles at people peacefully protesting various things (seen it myself—not part of the protest, but driving by).
There was the fleet of Trump-flag flying vehicles that aggressively surrounded a Biden bus in Texas...
Need I go on?
Neither side is on the side of the angels here, and it’s blatantly hypocritical to try and claim otherwise.
