Suddenly, Trump backers aren’t backing the blue?

Let’s see if I have this straight: The same pseudopatriotic “Back the Blue” hypocrites who wanted former president Donald Trump to violently crush Black Lives Matter protests following the Minneapolis police execution of a black man over a phony $20 bill, are now calling for a cuckoo-bananas civil war after the FBI executed a lawful search of Trump’s Florida residence for highly sensitive top-secret documents Trump was well aware he was in possession of; over 18 months after having left office following his loss in the 2020 election.

Further, can I assume this civil war will look like the drunken antifa hunt that took place in Snohomish two years ago? Only this time with the successful indiscriminate targeting of anyone who just looks like they voted for Biden; or maybe looks like they might not have even voted at all.

Doesn’t sound any more outlandish than anything else we’ve been put through the last 2 1/2 years.
