The Monumental Campaign to #CancelAmerica --article

[dougrz]

Obviously we all know this, but Michelle Malkin's article is still worth a read. It's heartbreaking, and she doesn't spare Trump in his signaling to appease the mobs.

Well geez, no wonder you're all bummed out...you're listening to Michelle Malkin...she's the queen of doom. The friggin' statues are easy, they can't fight back.

What we're seeing is a bunch of losers throwing a hissy fit along with a whole bunch of other losers that otherwise wouldn't give a shit out on the streets for the meet and greet.

Trump is having a rally in Tulsa and a million people want to get in there. He could fill stadiums. I have no concern whatsoever regarding the election...and these people that are making all this noise will get tired and go on with life when they realize no one really cares and their "leaders" are all talk, no walk. Not only that, all this money being raised for BLM, etc...is going to be siphoned off. They'll all end up with a handful of shit, like they always do.

The drawback to this whole thing is that the inner cities will get nastier. The liberals have been running the ghettos...or managing them, or mismanaging them, really. Now they're being kicked out. Drugs, alcohol, extortion, gang violence...you asked for it, you got it.

This is my hope. We sadly need city carnage to overcome the media propaganda barrage. Minneapolis voted to disband the police. I didn't see a date, but hopefully ASAP.

Interesting phenomenon going on, especially with the cancel culture at full steam ahead, right now. You've got people losing their jobs for publicly voicing their stance on this BLM issue, right and left, and the more prominant you or your position is, the greater the backlash, where it doesn't stop at just losing your job, but death threats being invoked against you and your family.

Meanwhile, SCOTUS came out with the decision today that one cannot be discrimitaed against because of the sexual preference/orientation. https://www.ksl.com/article/46764978...discrimination

While i support this decision, it's interesting that while a lot of people are voicing their opinion in this by saying that a person should be judged at work by their performance at work, on and what they do in the bedroom at home should have no bearing on their work status, but that same sentimant doesn't seem to translate over to what one does online, though.

I think you and I see eye to eye on this.

On one level the steep descent of American values and popularity of ultra left agenda is heartbreaking and very disappointing. But on the other hand, I am secretly cheering for it.

I think the far lefties are in a situation of "be careful what you wish for." I'm not sure they fully realize what they are attempting to usher in. The downfall of civil society is NOT glamorous, and it is nothing to aspire to. What they're flirting with is bloodshed, death, and destruction. They might not know that yet -- they might think that their CHAZ agenda will bring on some newfound civil order where conservatives will be forced to relent to their socialist values. But it won't. There will be blood in the streets before that happens. And I honestly think they don't have the belly for that.

Something drastic will have to happen to snap the far left back toward center, and maybe a bloody, failed revolution is just what the doctor ordered.

We do see eye to eye, rock. Rough times ahead.

I do take solace that there's still 100+ million on our side. 60 million voted for Trump and figure another 40 mil dependents and non-voters. More probably on their side, but 100 mil is a massive army if it would wake up and fight.

But they're smart. They needn't do a bloody rev. They've got us and, with professional and work cancel culture at a powerful level now, can starve us into submission. If they figure that out, not good.

There's a sketchy haze hangin' over Denver right now. Probably a lot of cities, I would reckon.

Just ran some errands. There's lots of ate up people walking the streets...wearing black, disheveled looking, most smoking cigarettes. Life is hard.

I remember back in the early 80s when I was living from hand to mouth. It was rough, let me tell ya...but I never looked like these people. I always knew that it was inevitable that things would get better for me. These people have surrendered....they look like life chewed them up and spat them out.

It was like this in '92, with the Rodney King riots. I went to the grocery store one evening and the streets had all these gnarled out people with their heads swiveling around. Just waiting for someone to get it started. I thought, "Where did all these people come from?"...but they were there all the time, you just didn't notice them. I guess they blended in...but seeing them like that was like seeing vampires in broad daylight. That's the reason I moved away from So. Cal.

I think these "prominent people" being fired or otherwise are just sacrificial victims...nobody wants a shooting war. These asshole are just getting a bunch of bones thrown at them...for now. While I agree that the inner cities in particular will suffer...white flight, cops hog tied, liberal politicians holding sway with their "ignore the man behind the curtain" bullshit,...I firmly believe that these people simply don't have the numbers.

A certain segment of our population is angry and crazy. 20% of adults? 30%? They've been cooped up, bitch slapped left and right by their "leaders", and then triggered real good with the knee on the neck. Their making a lot of noise...but so what?

The big problem they have is that the first sentence sounds somewhat reasonable and the next one is way out in outer space. Not a winning formula, man. I think most of these miserable sad sacks will abandon this whole "revolution" thing when they realize it pays nothing. Some will figure out you just gotta do it like I did.

I grew up in L.A. and saw first hand the riots as well. Never was interested in guns until then. The tenor of society and the media is so vastly different now. The media then reported and covered in a much more neutral way. Basically trumpeting they understood the cause but reporting on the destruction and beating of whites and Korean defense zones, etc. Today of course they're organizing the riots, heaping praise on the revolution, and giving total cover for any news that makes the movement look bad.

Where were you living and working at that time?

I was living in Brea, which is right next to Whittier, Fullerton, Yorba Linda...north of Anaheim. Peaceful little hamlet until I saw all the weirdos coming out of their caves.

I too am sorry for my racial indiscretions.
