Leftists don’t care if innocent people end up in jail as long as they can continue promoting their victimhood agenda. Jussie wanted to be a professional victim, he saw it as his key to stardom
Here is another statement from [Saul Alinsky's] Rules for Radicals: “We are always moral and our enemies always immoral.”The issue is never the issue. The issue is always the immorality of the opposition, of conservatives and Republicans.
If they are perceived as immoral and indecent, their policies and arguments can be dismissed, and even those constituencies that are non-political or “low-information” can be mobilized to do battle against an evil party.
