Inspired by this response (not mine) to the question "Who is based stick man?"

Here's two answers I can come up with. In keeping with the time-honored internet tradition of only reading things that conform to our established world view, please read either Paragraph A (if you voted Democrat) or Paragraph B (if you voted Republican). Please do not attempt to seek out and understand the point of view of anyone you may disagree with.

Paragraph A: Kyle Chapman is a far-right Trump supporter who attended the March Berkley "March for Trump" protest ready for a fight. He came dressed in riot gear, including helmet, goggles, a homemade wooden shield, and a homemade baseball bat. When violence erupted at the Pro-Trump rally, he eagerly joined in. He was rightly arrested for attacking anti-trump protesters and is now being heralded as a hero by the racist alt-right. They describe him as "based stick man" and "The Alt-Knight".

Paragraph B: Kyle Chapman, aka "based stick man" is a Trump supporter who attended the March Berkley "March for Trump". Because of many recent attacks by so called "anti-fascist" left wing extremists, Chapman came dressed in protective clothing, including a plywood shield and wooden stick to protect himself and others against radical leftist violence. When the "anti-fascist" anarchists started attacking innocent people, Chapman used his stick to defend his fellow Trump supporters. In the video, you can see the radical leftists attacking innocent protesters- attacking people on the ground, grabbing peaceful people to pull them into the crowd of "anti-fascist" thugs, and spraying innocent people with pepper spray. Chapman was unjustly singled out by police for defending himself and other innocent people. He is currently free, but is awaiting for trial.

Here's the most impartial video I could find: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKN7XDs2E58
