I don't know this person but I'm going to go ahead and point out that his willingness to speak to Rittenhouse's innocence literally does mean he isn't a leftist. The Rittenhouse thing isn't a valid prosecution in the liberal democratic tradition. It is a bolshevik show trial. I don't mean this as a characterization. It is conscientiously being carried out as a show trial. Rittenhouse is on trial for resisting bolshevik rule and he is plainly guilty of this. His acquittal will not be the end of it. Rather, sentiment in support of Rittenhouse will be punished worse after the acquittal than it's been already so far.

So yea. If you're a liberal who was foolish enough to believe that BLM was about black people and police and you believe that having liberal opinions about abortion and gays and stuff puts you on the left, be ready for a rude awakening. The left used to call people like you "deviationist" and you get a bullet for that.
