It boggles the minds of people who are relative political outsiders. People who follow politics, and understand that it is a rough business, could never have imagined the lengths that the Democratic Party establishment, the Deep State, and the majority-leftist press would go to destroy a candidate, a president-elect, a president, and now, a commander-in-chief seeking a second term.
The litany is etched into consciousness. Russian collusion and Mueller. The perfect Ukraine call and impeachment. Finally, the stage-management of the hysteria surrounding COVID-19, a virus everyone knows can be extremely nasty, but that has not proved—in pretty swift retrospect—to represent an existential threat.
But let’s not bury this essay’s lede. Focus today is on the latest narrative tableau the left hopes will overturn the Trump reelection apple cart once and for all. It must be spelled out plainly: The sad reality of George Floyd’s death and resultant civil unrest as justification for doubling-down on the criminalization of whiteness. With the president as Exhibit A.
It’s like, how much can you fear one man’s impact? How can everything these entities ever wanted in terms of power, globalism, socialism, be threatened by one individual? Apparently, the fear is all-consuming, epic even, if fear can be described as epic. Hate is the corollary. They tipped their hand long ago—their agenda is so counterintuitive to the firmament of American values, so destructive to everything the nation stands for, that President Trump’s challenge to it caused them to go completely unhinged, to pull out every stop, legal, quasi-legal, and illegal, to stop him. That challenge inspired an unprecedented resistance movement that has taken the country to the precipice of another election.
“Orange man bad” is the simplified meme that has come to describe the sickness.

I can easily see Trump re-elected in November. But the capitulations, genuflections, and mae culpas are happening without votes being cast and hardly any shots being fired.
IMO, everyone needs their job/business and will do damn near anything to keep it. That, in part, is what driving this madness.
AMEN.
I don’t know if it’s going to backfire. There are a lot of Gen-X’ers and Millennial whites who are self-flagellating night and day, proclaiming themselves “bad.” That APPROVE this insanity.
Seattle is 2/3rds WHITE.

Not this Gen-X’er.
You’re not the typical Gen-Xer, then. Every generation after the Baby Boomers got progressively worse.
I’m actually close to being a Millenial. I was born after 3 mile island, but before the Iranian hostage crisis.
Yeah, the generational lines are a little fuzzy, so it’s more of an ideological divide.

Racist leftists - when will we be rid of them ?

I really think that’s one reason the virus got such a head start in Democrat run cities like NY. Orange Man Bad was shutting down international travel and starting to talk about other measures. So, they must do the opposite of Orange Man. Invite everyone to Chinese New Year, tell people to go to the movies, etc. They delayed too long.
I was born within the last couple of years of the baby boom generation in the 60’s. My youngest brother came along 5 years later and was officially classed as a Gen-X. It’s uncanny how different he is in outlooks from me and my 2 other boomer siblings. Almost scary. And that’s being reared in a stable, same-parent household together all our growing lives.
The other day, when we were discussing mega-churches, he said that Joel Osteen was basically biblical in his message. I hope he didn’t notice, but my jaw almost hit the floor.
Only having a New Chaz City set up nearby will wake them up . . . except maybe in Seattle and Portland.
All I can say is that my BIL and his wife are what I see as typical white upper middle class liberals and not one thing the Democrats are doing is fazing them in the least. They get their news from the Rat media - he didn’t know anything about the “new country” in the middle of Seattle. In fact, he/they did not know it was happening until I pointed it out. And I double damn guarantee he did not look it up afterwards, nor will he. Anything I say did not happen if he didn’t see it on TV “news”
National socialists can’t advance as much as they’d like in these turbulent times. If anything, more & more Americans are waking up to their tactics and their sycophantic presstitutes.
DEPOPULATE socialists, totalitarians, d’rats, rinos psychotics, liars, deceivers, arrogant pricks & princesses, etc., etc. from the body politic and your life.
live good, live strong, live - free - republic
Since the rioters are deciding what statues to destroy and which buildings to burn I think pro-lifers should draw grafitti and destroy and burn PP offices and destroy Margaret Sanger statues.
I watch all the whites having guilt and feeling white priveledge BUT if they REALLY meant it they should give away their housing and give away their spot in colleges. Easy to stand around and tell others how they should show how much they support but when it comes down to it they don’t really mean it, If they did mean it they would give away their comfort so others can have them.
Nor this one!
My sister was born a few years before me, and she is an avowed leftist. She even calls Bruce Jenner, Caitlyn.
