Anger can be constructive; it can motivate people to fight noble battles and right egregious wrongs. Anger can also be nonconstructive. It can distract people from genuine problems while driving them to unproductive extremes.
Nonconstructive anger often starts with a fiction. Like how a false narrative about police shootings can motivate a certain easily-led demographic group to violence. In this way, BLM is similar to the 1/6 rioters. Both groups were “traumatized” by a loss (George Floyd, the election) that was exploited by their leaders to birth an explosion of nonconstructive anger.
And when it comes to nonconstructive anger, 1/6 is the gift that keeps on giving. Indeed, I’ve come to think of the 1/6 hearings as a giant troll by Democrats. And they’re not trolling alone; MAGA leaders are along for the ride. And the entire point is to provoke nonconstructive anger.
Trump and his supporters need to ensure that Trump remains MAGA priority No. 1. There are a hundred legitimate things to get angry about right now (crime, gender madness, immigration, Covid and vax regs, the economy), and Ron DeSantis has proved himself expert at tackling every one of them. So Trump and his grifters have to redirect your anger away from your problems and toward theirs.
They also have to make you believe that America can’t be “fixed” until (Trump) regains the presidency.
This is tricky, as Trump had the presidency and proved himself the opposite of DeSantis in terms of being an effective executive.
Which brings us to Bannon’s newest con, unveiled last week. See, it was “the swamp” that made Trump ineffective. Not his own hiring practices, not putting Kushner in charge of the border. Not Ivanka, Bolton, Kardashian, or the other morons he surrounded himself with.
No, ’twas the swamp wot dun him in!

What the hell is Taki and how is this news?
Taki’s is a libertarian type publication, often good, but they are all wet here. Trump just smashed it this week, so this yokel joins the libs in condemning him.
Easily-led———????? Now is that-disparaging
Would-could it also just be oeasily-misled or predisposed-inclination
Does he think all of President Trump's superb accomplishment happened by chance?
Trump was just trying to fix the same problems he saw happening for the past 30+ years
People seem to think has has no history in politic discussions
From 2013 to 2014, Cole was a Fellow with the Open Society Foundations, an international grantmaking network founded by business magnate George Soros that dispenses financial contributions to various liberal and progressive political causes in the United States.
He does not join the libs, he is the the epitome of a raging Communist/Fascist.
Just more NeverTrump propaganda.
[David Cole is not for Don DeSantis. He is a Leftist ACLU lawyer pushing Never Trump with any lie he can manufacture out of whole cloth.

He founded an organization for closeted Hollywood Republicans funded by Gary Sinise. His articles about George Soros are pretty thought-provoking:

Why was Soros’s life under Nazi rule the happiest time of his life? Boiled down to essentials, it’s like the soldier who survived when everyone around him was mowed down. It’s the reverse of survivor guilt - something like “You missed, scumbag! F@#$ you very much.”
In Cole’s view, Soros has devoted his entire existence since then to sticking it to his perceived nemesis - the folks who made his wartime existence too exciting for comfort - white Christians. By Cole’s reckoning, all of Soros’s crazy machinations are just the fulfillment of a revenge fantasy - he is merely giving Christendom a slice of the constant, gnawing fear he himself had to deal with on a daily basis as Nazis and paid informers systematically prowled the Thousand Year Reich looking for Jews to kill.
Whether right or wrong, Cole offers up interesting ideas. And he goes into areas that Ann Coulter won’t touch, which leads me to think he must be independently wealthy, like just like Taki.
