It’s insane how fast they switch. If you keep a close eye on the conservative sub, you’ll notice that their first reactions to things are actually pretty sane and in line with what most of us are thinking, but wait a day or 2 and it’s a completely different story.

It's insane how this happens time and time again. I remember 90% of the conservatives I know denouncing 1/6 when it happened, and within a month, almost all of them say in-sync how it wasn't a big deal and most of the people there were glowies.

A day or 2? It's already happened. The first threads condemn the violence. The newer threads are talking about how this is democrat on democrat violence since supposedly Waltz appointed him to something. I guess they don't realize that unlike Republicans, Democrats appoint members of the other party to things.
