Political Violence

I’ve been saying for some time that 2020 will likely see the most violent Presidential campaign of our lifetimes. It’s now July, the conventions haven’t even been held, and we are already seeing mind numbing violence in major cities around the country, aided and praised by mayors, city council members and governors alike.

They allow the mob to pull down statues, not merely of Confederate generals, but an abolitionist who was killed at Antietam (Madison, Wisconsin), George Washington and Thomas Jefferson for participating in a slavery system which predated their births worldwide for thousands of years, Columbus, Cervantes (!), Lincoln, for being insufficiently race sensitive, and the targeting of police around the country.

And the mayors applaud.

However this turns out isn’t likely to be good.
