Slip-Sliding Away

I’m working real hard not to get wrapped up in all of the media sponsored doom/gloom bullshit that pervades every possible platform and outlet. One article on Breitbart by Joel Pollak titled “Democrats Want a Second American Revolution — a Socialist One” did catch strike me as both entirely plausible and completely devastating (should it come to pass). A short extract below, link is here.

“We are staring down the barrel of a ‘Red November,’ and I don’t see how we recover from that politically if [Donald] Trump loses because Democrats have made it clear … they’re not interested in solving the problem they’ve identified with policing. They just want the issue, and that tells me they want to keep fomenting this sort of unrest.”

They started defunding the police in various cities. They’ve abandoned policing in the Oakland [Unified] School District. They’re disbanding the police in Minneapolis. They are cutting a billion dollars from the New York City police budget, and even that’s not enough for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, so they’re going to dismantle institutions of law and order.

“Finally, they are going to permanently alter the rules of the game. The proposal to make Washington, DC, at least partially a state — to make a 51st state — was passed by the House of Representatives, last week. They know it’s not going to pass the Senate under Republican control, but if Democrats win the White House, the Senate, and the House they will pass D.C. statehood.”

My best guess is that when all of the crap that’s roiling in the cities comes to fruition, when all of the big money/media players place their thumbs on the scale, and if (and its looking more and more less iffy) the blues can take the Senate and Presidency then that experiment called America will have played out. When and how (and ultimately if) a new great nation comes into being is hard to imagine.
