ah, apparently the right are now blaming the capitol attack on leftists, either saying they were a bunch of leftists pretending to be white supremacists or saying that the attackers were tricked into it by leftists

@Felthry Any attempt to blame leftists for what happened on January 6th is little more than DARVO.

@LexYeen oh i'm well aware of what it is, i'm just frustrated that people refuse to admit that maybe the people they look up to have flaws

@Felthry That's the thing, though: It's not refusal to admit that the people they look up to have flaws in the first place, it's a desperate scramble to justify their actions in a way that reinforces their beliefs.
