(Warning: long rant)

My liberal friends are completely oblivious about how radicalizing the last week has been for tens of millions of normal Americans. Zero clue.

I’m not talking about people who are “online”; I mean regular, everyday Americans. “Normies.” People who scroll… pic.twitter.com/NeCxHqrFXi

I don’t agree with a lot of contentions in this post. For instance, January 6 was definitely a coup attempt but the right will never admit anything but the absurd idea that it was some kind of rowdy capitol tour group (which is fucking hilarious, if you think about it ).

However, I agree with what the consequences will be: these events combined with liberal inaction on crime and disorder in large urban areas will move people to the right. In general, the worst-run, most crazy-people-ridden cities are all blue ones. Everyone knows this, though some lie about it. Hell, in our very blue city there are hundreds of ranting roving drifters who are unpredictable and unpleasant to be around even if they aren’t committing any actual crimes at the moment. Commerce and community would go way up if these vagrants weren’t around.

People are tired of it. And they rightly blame liberals for a lot of it. As they should.

We’ll see what it brings, but I doubt it’ll be better. Both sides are full of bullshit, alas.
