“And they believe they can control what they have raised up.”

Hitler got the brownshirts (SA) under control in the night of the long knives. It only took killing Rohm and 85 to 200 of them (probably 3 million SA members then) followed by a propaganda campaign to eliminate them as a political force in Nazi Germany.

The Democrat party sponsors believe they can control ANTIFA, BLM, and the various foreign gangsters they have imported as illegal immigrants. They are mistaken on that.

They do not have a charismatic front man like Hitler to rally the masses in support of "the current thing". The Leftist shock troops are too diverse in origins to remain under unified control, and they are not very effective without such control. And the sponsors have learned nothing from history. Hitler eventually escaped control of his sponsors and ended up killing a large number of them.

Such would be the fate of the Democrats and their sponsors if they were successful at clawing their way back into power with a charismatic leader.

The sponsors have some very intelligent and skilled minions, but they don't listen to them very well. That is fortunate for us.
