We are witnessing, in real time, the full-scale disintegration of our country.
The ideas once discussed only by the radical left are now all of a sudden mainstream. Since the media and leftist (Democratic) politicians have been espousing the lie that America is a racist country and our institutions including the police are systemically racist for decades, blacks and woke white liberals have now come to believe it.
It is the belief in this fallacy that has provided the catalyst and motivation for the riots throughout the country. It has been shocking and terrifying to see the media along with Democratic mayors and governors not only stand by and fecklessly watch the destruction of their own states and cities, but justify it.
Calls for defunding or elimination of the police are now widespread. Corporations have jumped on board, issuing their virtue-signaling statements in support of Black Lives Matter so they will not be called out or boycotted as racists.
Expect more violence and destruction as there are now no limits on the anarchists. Unfortunately, the victims of this violence and destruction are almost always the inner-city blacks and minorities that the left claims to be protecting.
