Daily one progressive mayor after another crashes and burns. As talk of abolishing police increases, anarchists and criminals become more empowered. The failed mayor of Minneapolis sheepishly walked away from a rally after being harassed by a mob. No dialogue allowed.
Seattle is now a Mad Max scenario. From calling the chaos there the “summer of love” to declaring it patriotic, their progressive mayor is totally ineffective. It’s no longer a protest against racism, the new name tells it all. It’s an anarchist occupation. They don’t want a southern border wall but the first thing they did was blockade the streets putting armed guards there to stop people from coming into their crazy-land. Last week 35 police officers resigned and more are expected.
The media in unison said people protesting against Michigan’s harsh quarantine were dangerous gun-wielding Nazis and right-wing extremists. Now the leftist media is gleefully euphoric about “Seattle’s Autonomous Zone” (Mike Baker, NY Times) ignoring how they openly brandish assault weapons. In Portsmouth, Va., a screaming mob pulled a statue down on one of their own putting him in a coma. These fanatics are dangerous and unsafe and progressives just want to pretend it’s a protest.
Progressives who studied political thought or Byzantine art have little skill or knowledge to deal with something chaotic in which they’ve actually enabled. The Chicago Sun-Times reported in May (during a strict quarantine) 232 shootings and 85 homicides. Yet their progressive mayor wants to reduce their police force while foolishly engaging in profanity filled rants with members of City Council.
Democrat candidates struggle with how to respond but it’s certain they won’t discuss specifics. They speak in generalities and slogans always including obligatory denunciations of privilege. When questioned by constituents they must explain “defunding police” really doesn’t mean what you think it does. That’s progressivism in action or rather let’s pretend.
Clinton operative, Terry McAulife, told a group in Virginia Joe Biden should just remain in his basement. Down in his cellar Crazy Joe babbles about Trump trying to steal the election and not leaving the White House if he loses. McAulife may really fear Biden might say you should just get a shotgun as he’s said before.
Progressives also want to ban guns. Failed Presidential candidate Mike Bloomberg just a few months ago spoke about gun control. He said, “it’s the job of law enforcement to have guns and to decide when to shoot.” How does that fit with what they say today?
Anarchists have destroyed more property in the last two weeks in American cities than any result of the First or Second World Wars. And progressives want to ban guns and abolish police? Mike doesn’t have to worry if that makes sense. He has armed security protecting him and his mansion.
We can’t allow progressives to continue controlling any part of this nation. We’ve seen how the cities and states they govern become chaotic and dangerous. Progressives and their schemes are unsafe.
