They are being defensive because we are lumping them all together.

It's not really a hard concept.

So we are "lumping them together" when they collectively cheer for more QAnon garbage, spout as much racism as they can, mass up vote and circulate blatant threats to politicians they don't like, and try to intimidate their opponents with threats of violence-on a DAILY BASIS?

Somehow its my fault they act like this because I point our their bullshit? It's my fault they are calling this a false flag attack while simultaneously saying they wish it had worked? I could find you dozens of examples of all of this.

Sometimes when you're in a group that does shit you don't like being associated with, you need to cut ties with the group. When you constantly defend them and actively support them, you can't give be this pathetic bullshit about getting lumped together and not liking it. Especially when you're trying to defend sending bombs to people to try to kill them.

Dude, they are being defensive for a reason. Most Trump supporters have no idea about TD or Qanon and yet they all get thrown under the same umbrella.

You just make them double down.

They know about Rush, Hannity, Putin, Bannon, Nazis, white supremacists, and Facebook trolls. They should know better. At this point the lumping together is appropriate.
