Let's pull out a nice little chunk that the Trumpers wouldn't see otherwise:
"Protesters for different reasons. You're protesting also because, you know, they just didn't know. I've watch — I watched very closely. Why are you here? They really weren't able to say, but they were there for a reason, perhaps." - Donald J. Trump
It is absolutely correct to say that a very sizable portion of protesters are just going along because others are and could not article a valid reason why they there. Had trump told the truth and said that they are likely protesting equality but surprise, using many metrics such as more whites killed by cops, less than ten unarmed black men killed by cops etc. that equality has been achieved and that many of the underlying ideas of BLM are false and that many BLM protesters are violent law breaking thugs, it would not have gone over well. Look up some of the chants the crowds are yelling, it's despicable. The irony of protesting the bigotry by calling all cops racist.
A bit like you then.
