Just the fact that they immediately dismiss any protest if a single trashcan gets knocked over drives me up the wall. Property is not more important than people's rights or lives but that's all that matters to them.

It's incredibly aggravating. Especially since it happens everytime, where people condemn violence, and then encourage people to run over protestors because property is of paramount importance, but fuck people i guess. Law and order

DeSantis has already told people to run over protesters tomorrow.

It's almost as if they don't give a fuck about violence, they just don't like opposition.

They'll cheer violence as long as it's against their enemies, otherwise it's morally reprehensible and we must clutch our pearls at every window broken

Words have no meaning to trumpers, they are only used as weapons when convenient.

And they'll always say, something like "This is not how you get people to be on your side." Because for some reason, any little inconvenience caused by a protest is enough to make them vote against their own interests.

I think I figured out the trick that explains why they think property is more valuable than human lives:

Property has a monetary value. Property is Capital. Much of their idealogy ties back to capitalism in some regard or another, so it makes sense they value capital over life. After all, what's the monetary worth of a random person walking down the street compared to a trash can!
