A 6-month-old baby was hospitalized after federal law enforcement agents in Minneapolis struck a car full of children with a flash bang, before flooding it with tear gas.
Parents Shawn and Destiny Jackson told Kare11 that they were driving their six children home from a basketball game Wednesday when a protest stopped them in their tracks.
As bystanders rushed the children to the safety of a nearby house, they had to go back for the 6-month old who had stopped breathing. “He was the last person to come in, he was just like, lifeless, like, he had like, foam, like, around his mouth, and you can, he had tears coming out of his eyes,” Destiny told Kare11.
Destiny said she performed CPR on the child while others called emergency services, who arrived shortly after.
Even though I’m a cynic about the reality we’re in, I still believe stories like this would slowly wear down the right wing propaganda effect, if MAGA actually saw them.
I mean, a flashbang thrown under a family car that stopped a 6-month old from breathing and traumatized an autistic child, none of whom were even part of the protests, for no reason. The narrative MAGA is fed is that these are left-initiated violent riots, but all is the actual data is ICE terrorizing and lawlessly assaulting peaceful people. Cognitive dissonance can grow to be enough to break a person’s delusional reality, but the biggest problem is just putting actual information in front of these people’s eyes. Because they’re never going to seek it out, or get it from a sycophantic algorithm.
It just feels insurmountable sometimes to connect with the human part of MAGA people.
Most of the MAGAts responding to information about it blame the parents for taking their baby to a riot, which is of course, not the case at all.
Maga is a cult. They won’t believe any of it and will spin it to twist their demented world view. They need to be deprogrammed
They would just blame this one on the protestors and leave it that. Never thinking a moment beyond that, that there was no reason whatsoever for ICE to deliberately throw a flash bang or tear gas under a random car. “If those protesters hadn’t been disrupting traffic, the car wouldn’t have had to stop. End of story.” It’s called a thought-terminating cliché.
“Something something Biden argle bargle he created this immigration mess due to open borders, more bafflegab, Golden Jesus is going to fix it even if he has to break a few omelettes yadda yadda…”
Fox news is blaming the parents ‘for putting their children in harm’s way.’ So even if any of their viewers see how depraved this is, their anger has been effectively redirected.
Working as designed and built slowly for decades. The goal was always to create a voter block that would consistently keep the right in power, no matter what.
I don’t get it. What the fuck.
i feel like right wing propaganda, new sources and the talking head have been awfully quiet as of late, they dont want to know what the supporters whats been happening, keep it vague so they can twist the narrative later.
ICE riots, GOP applauds
At some point, left should actually start doing shit thats being accused of for the past year. Give ICE their own medicine.
