I went to DU and viewed a thread entitled something like “The Rittenhouse Verdict Should Have Come as No Surprise”, and I was amazed at the number of posters whose attitude ranged from “Rittenhouse was acquitted because nothing he did was illegal” to “No one should have been on the street that night”. More than a few responded to “Rittenhouse (in particular) shouldn’t have been out on the street” by stating “what were all the other people, rioters and criminals, doing out there?”
I read that DU thread as well because on a day like this I truly enjoy that schadenfreude feeling.
I think that many leftists, after realizing that the media gaslighted them on Rittenhouse, are going to flip as they examine the other lies that they swallowed.
