To a Liberal, facts don’t matter.
You are right. Liberals are primarily concerned with feelings and intentions. They have been conditioned, some might even say indoctrinated to believe that leftist liberals and their associated protected groups intentions are always good, and that conservatives intentions are always bad. As you point out, objective evidence does not matter and they will quite happily ignore it in favor of what they “know.” So it does not matter what they see or hear of that encounter. It does not matter what first hand witnesses say. It does not matter what has come to light regarding past statements and actions of alleged “victims” that day. The leftist liberals “know” what happened, what was “really” going on, what was in the hearts and minds of everyone there. Yes that makes them delusional. Yes leftist liberals are no-excrement for real mentality ill to a not insignificant degree.
