      Yeah but they get away with it because their audience only cares/is fed the stuff they agree with

      Trump said the government should be allowed to take people’s guns without due process (just breaking two constitutional amendments, NBD) and Republicans just had to wait a couple days and their voters forgot about it

      It’s a trap either way. Like asking Matt Gaetz if he agrees children should not be trafficked and raped by middle-aged adults. Any direct answer to that would make him look like a pedophile.

        That’s why you aren’t a politician (along with probably many other reasons). The correct response is something like: “there are certain actions that these protesters shouldn’t be taking.” You just totally avoid the question and pretend like you answered it.
