Ding ding ding, we have a winner! You hit the nail on the head. The violence was allowed, even encouraged by the left...right up until it looks like it is no-longer having the desired effect. Now that the net effect is starting to push back against the main objectives - thwarting President Trump and getting Biden elected - it is apparently time for the violence to stop.
Don't worry folks, the violence will stop the moment it is no-longer useful to the left. Just like the pandemic. Remember that? Oh, that's right, it's rapidly fading from the spotlight because it's usefulness to the left has just about run it's course.
Remember all these other things that were used to get and hold our attention?
- What about all those offensive statues that needed to come down now! Are they all down? Or is it no-longer important? When it was in full swing you'd think people were swooning in the streets because of those mean old statues.
- What about all those firearms that must be banned now! Whatever happened to them? Not banned, yet somehow we're still alive, still here. Hmm... Guess we'll just have to wait for the next shooting that can be turned into an emotional issue to try pushing that one again...
- Russian collusion? I thought it was unthinkable, unlivable, untenable that we had a President who had colluded with our enemies! I was solemnly told they had absolute, irrefutable proof...but apparently not, or I guess they've decided it is ok or something.
- What about all those illegals and the caravans coming to the border? I thought that was a crisis that had to be solved now! Think of the votes! ...er... I mean think of the children! Guess the "border crisis" isn't so much of a crisis anymore. Dang we must be pretty good at knocking these things down...
- Gay marriage. Wasn't our failure to recognize, nay promote and celebrate a few deviants supposed to be our downfall? I thought gay marriage was the issue that would define us... It sure dropped out of sight faster than a bakery with principles.
- Climate change! What are we at, only 11 years or so left? I thought we were all supposed to be baked and/or swimming by now? I'm pretty sure we're well past more than a few of the "point of no return" as declared by the "experts" so maybe it's ok that we ignore this now. I guess our goose is already cooked.
- NFL player protests. If a player kneels in an empty stadium, does anyone care? Did anyone ever care?
- B. Kavanaugh. Remember him? I thought it was unthinkable, unacceptable that someone with unsubstantiated claims about bad behavior in his past be in a position of power. I guess we had to let that one slide since we're now being told all of Biden's bad behavior was in the past and it's ok to forget it.
Gosh whatever happened to them? No longer useful in holding our attention or shaping the message (orange man bad!). Not that important. Not that they ever were really.
The violence was allowed, even encouraged by the left...right up until it looks like it is no-longer having the desired effect.The Radical Left (i.e., the commies) see the violence as needed to overthrow the system and replace it with a Marxist one.
They now own the Democrat Party and most of the media.
Don Lemon wasn't thinking of the Marxist agenda when he made his comment. He was thinking about politics as usual (i.e., getting Slo Joe and the Ho elected).
I'll bet someone paid Don a visit after he made this comment and told him to STFU.
