republican run cities aren't rioting
just the democrat run cities and states.
So what? There are also many Democrat run cities that aren’t rioting
But all the cities getting burned down are Democrat run
That’s because almost all cities are run by democrats. There are only a few that are run by Republicans... one of which is Fort Worth and guess what?? They had riots and looting.
50 of them were arrested, and that was the end of the riots.
Yup... that’s what happened in most other cities included dem run cities. Obviously the situations are different in different places.
Wrong in Portland Minneapolis and Chicago No arrests for months. And the only police response is when the mob threatens the local officials houses or business then suddenly the cops are available to stop those attacks but everyone else? Burnt to the ground.
Ok then critique what those cities decided to do. Many other democratic run cities had issues and made different decisions and shut down the violence. Just like your bragging the Rep cities do. This is situational problem not an ideological one
Wrong most of the riots that ARE STILL GOING ON months later are because the cops don't arrest anyone and if they actually do for some reason the DA releases them or the Democrats like Harris PAY to have them released. In Portland the MAYOR attended riots and tried to get the feds to leave so rioters could burn down the federal buildings. In Minneapolis the Mayor and Governor ORDERED the cops NOT TO INTERVENE in any burning looting and rioting. The Governor REFUSED to call out the Guard and when the President offered assistance violently rejected it. In Chicago the Mayor did the same only calling out the police when her property was threatened.
The Electorate knows all this. When the Lying Fake News Denies it, The Electorate Knows They Are Lying.
The more interesting question, is how is the Left so completely fooling themselves?
How do poisonous ideologies bent on totalitarianism take control of people?
For decades we’ve wondered how the Germans, some of the most civilized people in Europe at the time, could have committed the atrocities of WWII. Honestly, they too don’t seem to know how that happened, and in Germany, among the older people in the eighties, you got the sense of their still not being sure how it got that far.
People within sight and smell of the camps who said they didn’t know what was going on there.
No, I don’t believe they didn’t know, or weren’t able to put it together. They’d convinced themselves they didn’t know what was going on there. Because they couldn’t live with knowing, and admitting they’d been supporting and aiding evil would break them. So, in self, preservation, they “didn’t know.” Hysterical denial is a thing.
They Left told lots and lots of lies about the horrors of a Trump Presidency. Their peer groups, social credit, the people that pass themselves as trend setters and really smart in their groups, all reinforced the pending horrors of a Trump Presidency. Trump's completing his first term. To admit they were wrong would break them. They have an investment in believing it. It tells them they are “smart” and “connected.” To suddenly doubt them would make them outcasts. And of course, the media sells these points over and over and over again.
The more they buy in, the more expensive it is to realize they’re wrong. Your own sunk costs hold you captive. You can’t admit you were encouraging evil people and supporting them, that you were their willing dupe, so the side you’re fighting must be even worse than you suspected, and it must be horrible 24/7.
This is why good people on the left — and there are still good people there — are still going along with the insanity.
