It's definitely manufactured outrage. This was the whole purpose of the BLM riots back in June 2020, which seems to have been incited by feds. They needed the left to be recast as anarchists rather than authoritarians to make the right abandon freedom. Then they bombarded us with the craziest gender and sexual ideology imaginable, to give them something to hate (which they were already weary of, but for good reason until then). Now they have the only two parties that matter voting for totalitarian politicians and deep state agents who promise to fulfill their voters' social gospel.
