I see what you're saying. I felt threatened during the fiery but mostly peaceful riots of the summer of 2020. But now, in retrospect, I see that I needn't have been overly concerned.
I live in a very red area in the San Joaquin Valley. The rioting happened only in deep blue areas. I went to visit my kids in Los Angeles a few times and indeed I felt under threat in Los Angeles. But I need to remind my self that that crap never came to my nice little town and clearly it never will, for the simple reason that I and all my neighbors just love our Second Amendment rights, as does our beloved Sheriff, and anyone attempting that sort of lawless nonsense would find themselves in the sights of one hundred AR-15s in short order.
So, 2024 is shaping up to be a repeat of the 2020 Summer of Love but so long as I stay in my red area the Democrats can burn down their blue areas to their heart's content. The trick is, as is so often the case in life, not to care.
We must close our hearts to pity for the Democrats and let them destroy themselves. The rest will take care of itself so long as we have the moral courage to let them croak by their own hands.
They have enough people in this country now to riot EVERYWHERE, I don’t think anywhere is safe.
