There are a lot of genuinely stupid people in this country. Our public school system seems geared to churn them out like there was a profit in it for them. That fact makes the idea that the party of the education system failing Americans would also be the party of open borders and importing illiterate third-worlders to compete for the only jobs they’re qualified for all the more weird. Such is the modern Democrat Party.
You’d think even the dumbest people would, as some point, come to the realization that they’re being exploited, either by failure of economic and educational opportunities trapping them in a web of social service “help” or by bringing in people who will do the same jobs they’re qualified for, only for less money. It’s like introducing your spouse to their celebrity pass and being shocked when they leave you for them.
But then we have the leftists with all the advantages Democrats deny poor people – better education and economic opportunities – who are even dumber than people educated to be uneducated who act in the most ignorant, mindless ways imaginable.
I’ve known a lot of dumb people in my life, and it wouldn’t surprise me to find out that at least 2 of them have traveled to Minnesota to participate in the social event of the antisocial season. But even they don’t strike me as dumb enough to get in the faces of any law enforcement and scream obscenities.
It takes a special kind of stupid to loudly dare someone to hit you, and I would be in favor of a law that would allow anyone – law enforcement or just a private citizen – to actually hit someone who “asks for it.” The reason these morons scream in the face of police so freely is they know police face massive consequences if they take them up on the offer. That should change.
Moronic leftists daring officers to hit them makes for great social media street cred in the cosplaying social justice warrior game. They instantly become the hit of their Pokémon club or Furry convention. If you want to see what passes for a stud at a Brony Con, look no further than some weirdo cross-dresser taking a selfie video calling police some variation of one of the names the left has successfully banned as being politically incorrect. It’s “different” when they commit an “injustice” in the name of “justice.”
The entire “protest” movement seems like a mating dance for people who otherwise wouldn’t ever get laid (not that they’re getting laid, but marching with people is about as close to the prospect of it as they’re likely to get).
It’s hard for people who pay attention to what’s going on to care when someone gets hurt, or worse, when you know these people have taken to the street for what amounts to performance art. When Renee Good’s wife or girlfriend or friend (how do we not know which is the case or even what she allegedly did for a living at this point? She’s just called a “poet,” which isn’t going to pay the bills) yelled “Why did you have real bullets?” after Renee tried to run over the ICE agent, it gave away the game.
These people do not understand how the real world works. They have spent their adult lives in a safe space created by the left to manipulate people, to control them. A bubble where an ever-growing list of words are not allowed, thoughts are not allowed, where no sexually deviant lifestyle is even frowned upon and where government subsidies pay for a lot of it.
These people seem to genuinely think they can “win” some sort of victory through chanting and marching. They think they can shout their way into what they see as justice, or that they can block traffic and close businesses into a majority.
They are ignorant, brainwashed people playing dangerous and stupid games with law enforcement. If you do that long enough, no matter how much restraint law enforcement can show, you will eventually win stupid prizes.
That’s what we’re seeing now. The Justice Department is not run by George Soros, local District Attorneys will drop charges, the feds won’t. Soros prosecutors will slap wrists, the feds will pummel you to the point that you’ll forget where you are. And these people deserve it. They’ve decided to play these stupid games…
