While smashing windows at the Autozone store in Minneapolis, the white guy dressed in black, wearing a black and purple face mask, was carrying an umbrella. Even though it wasn't raining.
A guy in a pink shirt was carrying a pizza box, talking to white guy dressed in black.
The symbolism is: The storm & Qanon is the umbrella. Umbrella = storm.
Pizza box is pizzagate. The wingnut men at the Autozone store are inciting violence.
People from outside Minnesota are rightwing radicals fanning the flames, trying to start a race war for Putin and his puppet.
According to Walz's presser this morning (Saturday, May 30, 2020) the radical rightwing white guys are tossing bricks, then blending back into the peaceful protesters.
Keith Ellison said on the electric t.v. this morning that he suspects the white guy at the Autozone store was there to unhelpfully stir the shit up and it needs to be investigated.
Same thing happened in Ferguson (sp?)

(6,448 posts)Seriously, these conspiracy nuts are demonstrating a combination of mental illness with being society's losers.
40-year old little boys living in Mommy's basement, spending all day playing with their "mouse" and listening to that orange guy with the big mouth and bigger tie telling them that their pathetic life is because of people of color.
We're locking up the wrong people.

The GOP is complicit in fanning this shit. They're in bed with the Russians.

(6,448 posts)Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 stated that Saudi Arabia's investments and holdings in America come to about 8% of our economy. All 18 of the 9/11 hijackers (1 missed his flight) and bin Laden himself were Saudis.
And consider that only a handful of our presidents were on the terrorists' side, but were mostly covert about it. Nixon's true beliefs came out in those tapes that were released in the last ten years. He hated blacks and Jews, yet welcomed Sammy Davis Jr. to the WH. Nixon was the biggest pandering president in my lifetime.
To me, the best moment in Bush Sr's one term was the "jackboot thugs" line. Throwing up on a dignitary comes in second.
At the state level, those segregationalist southern governors were domestic terrorists. Wallace, Faubus, and the guy in MS were using fire hoses and German Shepherds (as Trump is proposing)--the same way they did in South Africa's Apartheid years.
The playbook never changes. Only the players do.

Other weird shit emerging is Boogaloo, luau, guys in Hawaiian shirts. There is a whole bunch of radical rightwing inflamers slimed up in this radical right-wing agitation that is burning Minnesota down.
People in Minneapolis, who I follow on twitter, said they saw a bunch of white guys out past curfew starting fires, destroying businesses. Cars with no license plates, plates from North Carolina, driving around.
Gov. Walz said this Saturday morning, May 30, that an estimated 80% of the people agitating, rioting were not of Minnesota origin.
The state where I live is under attack by rightwing radicals egged on by Putin's puppet, the very puppet that Vladimir Putin installed to rip the country apart.
Al Franken is innocent. Garrison Keillor (who early on spoke out about the Republicans off the rails, G.W. Dumbass being an asshole) didn't do anything wrong either. It's republican rat fu*king!
The state has been under attack since and probably long before Paul Manafort shared Minnesota polling data with the Russians.
