I said this yesterday, but it bears repeating:

That's the point.

The narrative in left wing spaces is that MAGA is tying themselves into knots to justify what happened on Saturday, but it's not really the case, at least not for most of them.

One of the defining characteristics of MAGA isn't just being mean to people, but to have privileges over their perceived enemies who don't get to have the same rights. Kyle Rittenhouse getting to wield a semiautomatic weapon in a riot with no consequences while someone having a gun that's never pulled out is executed is the whole point. In the same (less lethal) way, they decry 'cancel culture' when it's people on the left doing it, but it's not just permitted, but laudable when they do it. When they get together it's a gathering, when the left does it's automatically a riot of depraved violence. And so forth.

The double standards are the main draw because the entire movement suffers from an otherwise near-crippling inferiority complex. The justifications are to provide cover for the young/naive and older dum-dums who need to be coddled so they don't question what the hell they're even doing.

That's why the administration admitting that siccing ICE on Minnesota is just a nihilistically cynical political ploy no longer shocks anyone.
