Absolutely. I know people who still believe that multiple swathes of blocks in Portland were "burned to the ground" by Antifa and "will never be rebuilt".

Even in Seattle. "Tried to burn down a police station", by which "a mattress was set on a fire in an alley next to a police station".

Let's not forget eating cats and dogs.

Defending a firehose of lies because there was once one nugget there that sounded like something that might have happened for real is pretty weak.

I mean, frankly, "tried to burn down a police station" doesn't exactly press my outrage buttons. Like, yes, people should not do that, for a whole bunch of complicated reasons, but it's not the kind of thing I think we need a violent overthrow of the societal order to fix.
