There's an undercurrent of people who are upset with violence, but those conservative minded people leave rather than revolt. The people who remain don't even notice that the situation is as bad as it its. You can still walk around New York and see tons of blue haired people that don't think there's a crime problem, despite being victims of it.

It's an abuse mentality, it's a slave mentality. That's what scared me so much about the riots in 2020. I thought that would make the Left revolt against what was being done to it, instead it culled the independents into submission. Every place that had a riot voted more left-wing than in 2016. The right fled, and the center submitted. It showed that political violence on the left, to the left, works. And it tells them who's on the 'right side of history'.
