.....and one very consistent feature of this process is that they never actually object to the behavior involved.
Yet I've criticized it, as have all the liberals. You're seem to be applying the big lie technique that you learned from your mentors -- Alinsky, Goebbels and Stalin.
The Trump thugs here, not a single one of them has renounced their side's endless calls for violence, and endless acts of actual violence. Every one of them openly endorses violence by their side. The two sides are direct opposites. The Trump-thugs are violent and fascist, while the liberals are nonviolent and democratic.
Trump-thugs aren't conservatives. They're open fascists, which is why they're following the fascist playbook. If they make up a lie about how liberals/Jews are a threat to them, they think they can justify their brownshirt tactics.
