Projection is all they've got. Liberals don't generally incite violence, other than "punch a Nazi" sorts of rhetoric (and a rare real life punch). In our current timeline, it's a silly suggestion, that a gaggle of liberals would gather to attack any of our nation's institutions.

My paranoid tenant found a great house to rent. This is good because my apartment that I rent was too small for this couple. They have too much stuff. So as I’m fairly laissez-faire about locking up the now mostly empty apartment. I offered to leave it open so they could come collect stuff from the refrigerator the next day. He was incensed. How could you leave that unlocked. Don’t you know someone could come in. I’m like what would they do? Steal some crappy furniture that I left in there. Take a nap? Use the bathroom? Of course I am locking my door. I thought about it for a while. The only thing I could come up with is that his paranoia stems from his sneaky persona. He simply can’t imagine why someone wouldn’t sneak into the apartment and wreak havoc because HE would.

This particular couple, have applied for government assistance when they don’t need it. They lied on their applications, as many do. it was really not my problem, but they do other things that are all victimless crimes. They don’t understand what might be wrong with that. It’s as I said little stuff, they bought a service dog vest from Temu so they could take their dog into stores, little stuff. They absolutely don’t understand what might be wrong with that. I am not going to educate them, but I also don’t admire them. They don’t understand that. I think the GOP doesn’t understand why liberals would never storm the capital for the same reason that the proud boys would.
