” So far this is just an unopposed cultural revolution.”
The war is an attempted Marxist takeover of government. The soldiers on the conservative side are the police. You and I, as individuals, are not allowed to fight. If we do, we will be arrested. The police are supposed to do the fighting for us. Hence, the calls to defund the police.
Take for example, the couple who brandished guns to protect their property from looters. No one was hurt. The guns were not used. The couple has been charged with a felony. Higher level government is resisting the charges and this will work its way out in court, rather than on a battlefield.
As for the looting and riots, so far they have been confined to liberal areas. The other, now formerly liberal voters, are not amused. Expect the next election in those areas to work out the civil unrest caused by the elected government people who will be thrown out of office.
As civil wars go, this one will be short. The people doing the fighting are sh@tting in their own nest.
“The soldiers on the conservative side are the police.”
I repeat, “Only one side is fighting”. The police are not permitted to fight, only retreat. Watch some videos of the Columbus square riot in Chicago (see below). Cops standing around as they are pelted with rocks, cans, frozen bottles.
