> Almost everyone, deep into trad Republican groups

A large portion of the right were happy to spread justifications for Floyd's murder and defamation of Floyd's character all over social media.

If you'd like evidence, search r/The_Donald archives, r/Conservative or the thousands of conservative groups on Facebook.



"A large portion of the right...all over social media."

I'm not sure social media reflect "a large portion" of any political spectrum.


I am basing my observations off of the conservatives that I know personally, but offered evidence in the form of public social media used by millions of people because a common retort to this observation is skepticism or the claim that people like this don't exist.


There are loud internet agitators/troll who do this. It's important to not take that as some kind of opinion poll. "One Click One Vote" is a terrible slogan.

Not that I have a poll to offer, though some have surely been done.

I base what I say on most conservatives I'm aware of saying so. I can't think of any "name" conservative who has said the opposite.
