Excesses of truth-bending and fact-denying are equally as common in protest politics as at the ballot box, in street-demonstrations as in high office. Indeed protest politics is as plastic and fact-allergic, or more so, than the regular politics it sets itself against. These considerations occurred when I read in newspapers and online words spoken at a recent demonstration denouncing Justin Trudeau. Justin Trudeau — him — a white supremacist? Ergo, Justin Trudeau, the living poster face of Everyone Everywhere Is My Brother can be anathematized as a white supremacist terrorist.
