Oh sure. But now it's not just "but I'm white"; it's also "but I'm conservative."
And therefore, "the system is supposed to be on my side even when I'm literally trying to tear the system down."
The January 6 traitors attacked the police so violently because they felt betrayed by the police. After all, the traitors were decent white-supremacists, and thus were on the side of letting police murder black homeowners or leftist protesters โ therefore they're on the side of the police ... right?
