Ever since the events in Charlottesville occurred, the left and the media (but I repeat myself) have pushed a completely false narrative. My recollection is that there was a far left group wanting to tear down yet another statue, and that a group of peaceful, normal, everyday Americans showed up to counter-protest. This latter group was the one Trump was referring to when he talked about “good people on both sides” (though I struggle to see who the good people on the left were, but I know he was just being diplomatic).

Then, fringe groups of both Antifa types and white supremacists showed up and disrupted everything, leading to violent clashes between the two groups. Of course, this all occurred while the Charlottesville police stood idly by, as ordered, and did nothing to restore civility.

When it was all over, the usual suspects on the left and in the media just started portraying the whole thing as, “A bunch of white supremacists showed up, and when opposed by peace-loving leftists (though they certainly didn’t refer to them as leftists) the evil white supremacists, Trump supporters all, began attacking the peaceful innocents, even running one over with a car.”

Unless I’ve misremembered something, that’s about what I recall. The true events bore zero resemblance to the propaganda regularly spewed regarding Charlottesville.

You remember correctly. Historians to preserve memorials became white supremacists. Since then, Trump supporters are white supremacists. Patriots are white supremacists. Those with differing view points are white supremacists. The list goes on.....
