    I don't get it. Leftists generally do know that, and don't like the FBI or Hoover, since they killed or imprisioned leftists and wrecked our orgs. How does this make sense in the chud mind?

      The tweet seems to be based on a weird misconception that leftists love the FBI

      They think the left loves the FBI and other law enforcement because chuds can't stop getting arrested and investigated for obvious crimes

        They also think "the Left" is Pete Buttigieg and Kamala Harris splitting a latte at the trendy new Soy Bean pop-up.

        They aren't entirely wrong. The FBI recruits almost exclusively from universities. Advancement is heavily predicated on your educational credentials. Numerous top officials hold law degrees and float in and out of top-tier white shoe firms in the big cities between administrations. I can't blame the failson clout-chasing shitkickers for feeling like FBI Director Christopher Wray and Deputy Jeffery Sallet aren't on their side. It's a Big Club And They Ain't In It.

        These reactionaries are upset because they bought into the ambient hype. They really did believe this was a race war and not a class war. That they'd be immune to any kind of prosecution or interference because they had the right bloodlines. So they're seeing all these people as Traitors to their cause. Just like they see someone like Bernie Sanders or Joe Biden or Bill Clinton. Its all filtered through the lens of white nationalism.

      Chuds hate the FBI because they raided Donald Trump

      "The Left" hates Donald Trump

      Ergo, "The Left" must support the FBI because the FBI opposes Trump and because the right only knows projection, they assume leftists just mindlessly follow the arbitrary idiot chorus like they do

      They think that because they think the FBI might hold Donald Trump mildly accountable for having classified documents. (Or more specifically for not giving them back when he was asked to.)
