You can wish it was something else. But that's all it is...wishing. If I was a New York resident I might wish Andrew Cuomo was a decent person. I could even create an alternate reality where he is a decent person. But here we are. You don't summon a protest, tell them lots of crazy, untrue things, tell them to fight like hell, and tell them you will go the capitol with them unless you are trying to stir it up. There's a pretty straight line between Trumps words and the riots, and there is a pretty easy reason to see why he wanted it to happen that way, and I think a lot of the other stuff is just people not wanting to live in that reality.
