Longer term, the left and the establishment as a whole never expected something like this would happen or was even possible. THAT is why they were so cocky with the “don’t tell people what is a good way to protest” or “looting is okay”, “civility means you’re privileged” etc. They never expected a real counter-action. What keeps civil order is a healthy concern that if you cheat the system, you may suffer a consequence. Consequences happened, in their backyard, the mothership city of the establishment elites.

In military law, there is a doctrine of reprisal. Essentially, if one side decides that they don't feel like following the rules of civilized conflict, then the other side is no longer bound to follow the rules either.

The Left has demonstrated, over and over, that they feel that rules and laws do not apply to them. Yet, they assume that we will continue to be bound by the rules. It may be time to shake that assumption.

Agree 100%. I heard on the radio “Shopify” deplatformed POTUS yesterday. Except it wasn’t “shopify” that made that decision. It was a real person who made that decision. Until our side doxes them, puts on black clothes and shows up at the homes of these fascists they will not reconsider their actions.

The GOP and left have gotten way too comfortable while they stick knives in our backs and throats. We have two options: fight on their terms or lose. There is door number three here.
