I think I finally figured out the reasoning behind liberal support for the rioters besieging our major metropolitan cities.
Until now I had assumed that liberals and the press wanted to blame Trump for the violence in hopes of attaching the violence to his re-election campaign. But that hasn’t worked so well – many are already fed up with the unchecked protest/riot activity in their towns. But what if that’s not the actual purpose of the riots?
How’s this for an alternative theory: The riots are an extortion threat to the American public: if you don’t elect Biden, then this is what we’ll do every day.
Clearly, the uber-left mayors of some cities – such as Portland, Seattle, Austin, etc. – can let this go on forever. They could also stop riots immediately if they so chose. So why let them continue, unless they provide a tactical political benefit?
Thumbs up on this one. Bidden and others seem to be starting to say this as well in their speeches – words that are less a promise to address violence and more a threat that it will continue if “you don’t vote for Joe”…
Agreed. “…You ain’t black…” if you don’t vote for Joe is now “…You ain’t safe…”
