What liberals are painting Greta as a terrorist? That's the other side.

The backlash that hardly existed? Yes

She got far more support

There is a ton of backlash. Really vitriolic, hateful stuff. Some of it is from conservatives. But there are plenty of liberals who support Israeli apartheid, especially elite Democrats.

You can make a case for the political elites. But saying its only some conservatives, when they've made a sport out of shitting on thunberg as every turn is totally disingenuous

You may have misunderstood my point.

A lot of the hate Thunberg has received is from conservatives. Some of it is from Democrats (many of whom are conservatives by most standards, anyway).

I'm not denying that conservatives have been terrible on this. But we can't pretend that many self-styled liberals aren't big Israel supporters. Especially those in office. They've been complicit in this for years.

Edit: Which, I might add, is a good reminder that conservatives and liberals are often more similar than many Americans would care to admit.
