We disagree on his intent, and I think that’s fine. I’d rather not go to the mat against folks I mostly agree with!

It is a perfectly accurate description of some of the people I saw at the protest (and the last few)! It is also a misleading (and dismissive) generalization of the protesters as a whole. “Normies” weren’t there to perform; they were there to be counted and to engage in community

If you see at the protests and only notice the unicorn suits and tambourines, you are intentionally ignoring the other 97% for reasons that are your own.

It’s intended to ruffle feathers, of course. It’s derogatory. Being a dick is a choice.
