I think it was planned. I remember the words of a young Bernie voter saying essentially that he had hoped that they could win their revolution at the polls, but since Bernie didn’t win, they’d have to do it through an uprising, and that they’d have their revolution and would take over the country.
I thought at the time, well bring it *****, as I confidently regarded such a threat as preposterous. I failed to imagine how they could be as effective as they’ve been in the last few weeks. They haven’t won their revolution yet, and they’re a long way off from taking over the government altogether. But they’ve shown us how they could do it.
The other day Seattle surrendered one of their police precincts to the mob in deference. Just in getting some local governments even to consider dismantling their police departments is shocking progress towards ending the founding principles.
Free speech has been a fixture in America that has helped keep us free. When some radical voice suggests something ridiculously crazy there is always a proper rebuttal that keeps them from gaining any traction. They lost the 60s because cooler heads prevailed. They’ve solved that problem.
The revolutionaries here have created a situation through cancel culture and other social pressure where people are afraid to rebut the nonsense. Not only that. But for the first time in a national scale, they’re for ing people to say the words they want said. Silence is violence is a powerful slogan. You’re shamed if you don’t say their words.
So now they should have all our attention. They’re not just some fringe group of basement dwelling betas, LARPing hilariously in their delusions of might. This is serious ****. I’m not sure how this will play out. If you try to rebut them you are cast as the enemy rather than the voice of reason. There is no more reason. Because now, reason itself is racist.
