    If Trump had frozen the bank accounts of BLM supporters in 2020, the loonie left would still be screeching about "right wing fascism" but when a liberal government does it and they remain silent it proves they don't hate fascism, they just prefer their own flavor of fascism.

    Freezing bank accounts has been a government tactic for decades, through Republican and Democrat administrations.

    I suspect that the difference lies in the actions of those whose accounts
    were frozen versus those whose weren't.

    Also, Trump didn't just sit idly by. He had people gassed so that he could
    hold an impromptu photo-op in front of a church. The police treated some of
    the BLM protesters very brutally, including 75-year-old Martin Gugino in Buffalo, NY. Trump also called out the military to deal with the protesters.

    That Trump didn't freeze financial accounts is irrelevant.

    Exactly.
