I mentioned on FB that the Capitol riots were exactly the sort of thing Putin was hoping for when he supported Trump for President. Some people were either outraged by the obvious truism or confused as to how I could say this. I'm not sure why, exactly; I assume they invented some thesis tangentially related to my words, put that thesis into my mouth in their imagination, and then reacted with anger/confusion. That's what people usually do. Some of them probably imagined that I said, "Trump colluded with Russia!" Others probably imagined, "Blue tribe > red tribe", or, "The Capitol building is sacred!"
