    An illegal protest, according to conservatives, is any protest they disagree with. Waving picket signs or blocking traffic is disruptive, destructive, and illegal. Storming the capitol is, on the other hand, a perfectly acceptable peaceful protest.

      Yep. Nationwide nonviolent sit in protests? Pass laws to make it legal to run them down on a car if you feel threatened.

      Violent storming of the seat of our nations power and symbolic political heart? Oh that’s just some guys being dudes.

      This is my go-to explanation, but christofascists don’t care.
