I've never understood is post-game nonsense. We all know that the MSM looks for the bad apples at anything resembling a conservative protest. The reporters are likely told to find the racists and hatemongers no matter how few they are. That's always been the case, but those that organize these conservative protests always walk straight into the trap, and then afterward bemoan that the MSM used a small number of idiots to tar the entire group, with a little whataboutism usually tossed into the complaining.
But the fix is obvious, you can have a conservative protest, but you must recognize that you'll be held to a higher standard of behaviour and MSM scrutiny. Is that fair? It doesn't matter, that's the ROE you have to work with. So, your conservative protests had better be well behaved, and those taking part must be tasked with challenging anyone showing hate or extremist behaviour, speech or symbolism. And be inclusive, do whatever you must to gain the participation of like-minded yet inclusive organizations that are the anathema of the extremists. Like it or not, the conservative movement in Canada is home to many of Canada's racist and extremist groups. And forget about the whataboutism, what about the extremists in the leftist or progressive movement - that doesn't matter because the system, the MSM and for a most part the people are on their side. So, cons, have your protests, but if you want to keep the extremists in your ranks from spoiling the event make sure they can't or won't participate.
