“They conflate the Black Lives Matter protesters with the rioters attacking federal buildings and retail shops. “
Conflate? There’s no conflation.
Conflagration.
They meant conflagration.
“Conflate? Theres no conflation.”
I try to imagine being part of a peaceful demonstration for a cause that I passionately support. If it got infiltrated by violent looters, supposedly supporting my cause, I wouldn’t want any part of it. Furthermore, if such demonstrations typically descended into violence, I would not want any part of those, either. These so called “peaceful protesters” clearly support the violence, and are aiding and abetting it.
Conlfate (n.) To recognize an obvious connection despite the media's best efforts to hide it.
Come nightfall, the “Peaceful Protesters” morph into either actual rioters or the rioters’ enablers who provide essential cover for the rioters. She who covers for a Molotov cocktail thrower is as guilty of arson as the thrower himself.
Re conflation... you beat me to it.
Case in point: Charleston, SC. There is virtually no Antifa here in Charleston. No one hear knows what Antifa is except for news junkies. When the BLM "peaceful protesters" began to riot, and the liberal democrat mayor ordered the police to stand down, the BLM rioters cleaned out the Apple Store and numerous businesses without any need of Antifa or White Supremacist coaching. This is complete self serving CNN B.S.
BLM protesters *ARE* the rioters and looters.
