DISINFO: The US democratic party is organizing a civil war
SUMMARY
It can be said that the White Civil War, which was organised by the Democratic Party on the eve of the US presidential elections, is subject to strict control, and the participation of the children of the wealthy only confirms this. However, in a country of forty million unemployed and half a billion firearms at hand, the manageable chaos could lead to a massive disaster at the national level.
RESPONSE
This a recurring pro-Kremlin narrative about the racial justice protests in the US being orchestrated and strictly managed. It is a conspiracy theory to claim that the protests are "directed" by the US Democratic Party.
The widespread protests against racial injustice and police brutality broke out in the US after the death of George Floyd in police custody in Minneapolis on the 25th of May, 2020. The protests followed several high-profile incidents involving African Americans and the police, invoking debates about racism in the US.
Despite high polarisation in the US, the unrest after the death of African American citizen George Floyd at the hands of a police officer is not a civil war. Though the situation was very tense for some days and protests spread to all 50 states of the country, military top officials and police officers worked effectively to de-escalate the situation, and demonstrations became largely peaceful after the first days.
See a similar cases that riots in the US take place according to the colour revolution manuals of US democrats and Obama, that US democrats organized riots in different cities based on the Ukrainian sceanrio and that protests in the US are organized by the democratic party ahead of US elections.
