    I don’t think there’s any “conservative” way to nudge them to the left on this except maybe to point out similar protests that they agree with in whatever color revolution/etc they’ve seen (but the cognitive dissonance of other gov=bad, my gov=good is a strong one to overcome). But for us, we know that demonstrations like this do not and should not occur within the framework of bourgeois morality imposed on us. Don’t forget too that many small businesses utilize the same practices as large ones in terms of wage theft and other class warfare, so it isn’t as though they’re innocent- they’ve just got a more human face than when a Target or a bank burns down, so it’s easier for chuds to share New York Post articles that attack the protestors themselves rather than the conditions that led to the protests.
