Well, they are in the establishment majority now and so they have a comfortable, easy position. Their misinformed or malicious government is turning increasingly authoritarian in its measures against a small minority which it is trying to isolate and deprive of essential human rights and they are blinded by their partly flawed search for security and an end to the pandemic so as to stand with this government. The corporate and government media is aligned with them.
It doesn't take away from their past merits nor does it mean that because they are middle class urbanites of a certain age, they shouldn't interact with the protests. In fact, their interaction is beneficial and the only way to get the vast majority that is vaccinated to support the fundamental rights of the minority.
You are the nigger now. This is your civil rights march. Be nice. Try to get the white urbanite liberal "Karens" on your side
