Most of the mayors whose cities are convulsing with violence have Democrat Mayors. In fact, they’ve had such for decades…some all the way back to 1968 – so they should know better. That was the last time that this country exploded with political violence.
ICYMI: Meet “Gen Z GOP” – Another Left-Wing “Moderate” Front Group
(H/T: Instapundit)
For what it’s worth, the Left is trying to make it as if all this violence in Portland, Oakland, Albuquerque, New York City, Seattle, Phoenix, Sacramento, Milwaukee, Los Angeles, Dallas, Fort Worth, Chicago, Detroit, Houston Columbus, Miami, Atlanta, Louisville, Memphis, Minneapolis, and a whole host of newly involved cities are violent because of Trump.
It’s the “reverse ju-jitsui” that they always seem to engage in – DO something and then immediately start the PR process to make it look as if the Right is responsible. Mayor Wheeler of Portland, for instance, after joining in with the Black Live Matters/Antifa terrorists as the tried to burn down the Federal Courthouse and then seeing the Federal officers merely trying to defend it (as they should according to Federal statute), demanded that Trump remove his forces.
Now he’s calling for Trump to negotiate a “ceasefire” – why SHOULD Trump do ANYTHING after having his offers for Federal assistance in quelling the riots and they rejected it (except for Chicago Mayor Lightfoot, who
Sidenote: When US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called those Federal officers “stormtroopers”, did no one think of calling out “Sure thing, Princess Leia?”
The Democrats are finally starting to figure out that the American people do NOT want a Revolution, much less a violent one. I guess 50 years has been too long to still remember what happened to the Democrats whose radical elements (e.g. SDS (Students for a Democratic Society – yet another euphemism for Socialism), Weather Underground, Black Panthers, and the like) stirred up the anti-war movement (e.g., Viet Nam) and then went full Metal Jacket politically on it. The ensuing bombings, acts of terrorisms, and riots (especially at the Democrat National Convention) ended up giving Nixon a landslide on a Law and Order platform.
And the Democrat socialist wing is doing it all over again.
So NO!, Trump really shouldn’t be lifting a finger – yet. The Democrats have made this a POLITICAL event – he should do the same. Wait until the end of September and then do Operation Clean It All Up and stopping both the actual physical violence, put the offenders in jail and in court, and then rub the Democrat noses in it as only he, of all the national level Republicans, can.
It comes down to that the Democrats started it, they allowed it, and they joined in. Again, Pelosi calling Federal Officers “stormtroopers”….
…it’s like she want the innocents to suffer. And with that term, and the intent behind it, is she part of the ongoing and intensifying “cause” of the Democrats against the US?
