It's kind of scary how they are literally just abusers.

That's all this is: emotional and psychological abuse.

"I WOULDN'T HIT YOU SO MUCH IF YOU STOPPED MAKING ME MAD!"

psychological abuse

This is the essence of what the last six months of lockdown has been. Psychological abuse on a mass scale.

No, it's been the last 6 years. The entire Social Justice Racket is propagated off of emotional and psychological abuse.

Why are people acting so crazy? Because 350 million Americans have been systematically psychologically abused by media, politicians, and tech companies for 6 straight years, and this year, our Techno-fascists came home angry and drunk.

Reminder that all this started off right around Occupy Wall Street. The elite are still spooked. It's funny.

It especially nefarious when you realize that Biden getting elected isn't going to stop the riots. It'll be the living embodiment of anarcho-tyranny. Antifa/BLM aren't trying to get Biden elected, they don't care. They are trying for a full Bolshevik-style revolution. I'm tired of seeing these people get arrested and released on rioting charges. They need to be tried for sedition. More than that though, we need a new and less castrated Smith Act with which to go after these fuckers.

I'm not sure. Yes, Antifa aren't going to want to stop, but let's not pretend the government isn't perfectly capable of making them stop.

The problem is it's all happening in Democrat states, and the Democrat state governments refuse to stop them. Trump isn't actually a dictator, he can't just order the state governments around. The Dems are allowing it to make Trump look bad. If Biden wins I wouldn't at all be surprised if they cracked down on it immediately. It'd make Biden look like the saviour to all the normal people who just want the rioting to stop.

Don't forget that most of the rioters are just there to have fun, basically. It's not politics for them, it's an excuse to act out and maybe steal some stuff. They're emboldened by the lack of government response. If there's even a hint of a crackdown being imminent, they'll all scatter; the actual hard core is probably tiny and easily arrested once the hangers-on leave.

There is no doubt in my mind that if Biden wins the government will crack down on the rioting so fast that the unrest will be over within a couple of days. News on any police shootings will also disappear from the MSM. The gov will also end the lockdowns, which will cause the economy to rebound faster. The dems will look like saviors to the normies that listen only to the MSM, and once that happens the populist rebellion ends and the uniparty takes its place unopposed once again. Things will be peaceful for the short term.

Long term though, with a rising china vying for superpower status, western governments unable to balance their budgets in the best of times, woke intersectional garbage destroying the fabric of western society, and a generation of men that are weaker than any generation of men that have ever existed, I'd be willing to bet another rebellion/turmoil kicks off again within the next decade.

Let's see how those printing presses handle the rise of the next Trump.

They do care. They suspect Biden will be weak and ineffectual enough to let them achieve their Bolshevik revolution.

Not really, I already predicted that there will be a preference cascade against the Left sometime in 2021 once the Left blow up a federal building and kill a few hundred people while the media basically defends the attack and insinuates a threat against the public because "this is what you wanted."

Once the cascade failure starts, the corporatists will come to the table and make a deal with Trump. Not sure yet what that deal is, but it will be a compromise.

This whole piece is a 'decent into the heart of darkness'.

If Democrats can’t beat a candidate as unpopular as Trump during a devastating pandemic and a massive economic contraction, then are they even capable of winning presidential elections anymore? Democracy, after all, is supposed to self-correct after mistakes, particularly mistakes as egregious as electing Donald Trump—whose unfitness for the nation’s highest office makes itself apparent with almost every passing day.

The question no leftist is prepared to ask, even under pain of death and rape: "What if I'm wrong?"

They can't imagine that Trump was the correction.

Trump was the release valve to prevent the system from overloading. They have spent the last four years making sure that release valve cannot be effective. I have absolutely no pity for them when something far more sinister comes after.

On the contrary, I think that release valve worked perfectly. They've been trying to plug it up, but they haven't stopped it. If Trump hadn't been elected, I'd honestly say we'd be headed towards a full-scale, no-shit, civil war that could have killed millions.

We dodged not only a bullet. We dodged, almost all of them.

I kind of do want their mob to burn shit down, though. Not because of the harm it causes good people now, but for the indirect benefit it can potentially provide to posterity.

Always darkest before the Don.

I'm the guy that's been complaining about Illinois firearm ownership identification process and its immense problems right now. I FINALLY got my license last week. Things are finally moving along.

After all, it's not theft if you just give your shit away, is it?

Even if the nice gentlemen has intimated that some mysterious accident may just befall you if you don't find such generosity in your heart.

Seriously, these people would be mafia apologists if only they were an appropriately woke skin colour.

EDIT: It's also kinda funny the lengths he goes to essentially pointing out how disappointed Californians are that other people get to vote.

They're not mafia apologists. They're National Socialists. These are the faces of your Death Camp guards.

Giving in and ceding power to terrorists only gets you more terrorism and general criminality as soon as they reach a new obstacle in the way of destroying everything for their short term personal greed.
