They believe the protesters are all “paid” as usual, but one interesting note is how suddenly the right is now also acknowledging how aware they are of the racial makeup of DC, and therefore arguing the fact that some protests are disproportionately white means they must be paid and this is proof.

I think part of why they think protestors are paid is because they have no idea how people organize. And more importantly, they don’t understand how/why people CARE about other people in the world. Empathy does not compute with their worldview. THEY would have to be paid to care, so that must be it.

Also easier to say it is a vast conspiracy than ever entertaining the idea that they could be wrong about something.
