When something cannot go on, it certainly will not go on. But what are the symptoms of what cannot go on and when?

There are two historic red lines and our revolution is getting close to both.

When Normal People Grow Weary 

One is when “average” people, both white and nonwhite, who identify neither with Left nor Right, woke nor unwoke, become frightened or appalled by the violence and the anarchy—and thus finally move to dismantle the guillotine as the razor increasingly starts haircutting friends, idols, and compatriots.

Their verdict can be known either by demonstrating themselves, boycotting, voting, or massive civil disobedience. At some point, tonight’s looting rioting hero on on CNN, becomes tomorrow’s commonplace, unnoticed felon.

Among the most durable of those institutions is what some call “the great American city.” America’s cities are indeed a wonder—built quickly from nearly nothing across a vast continent into a unique story of social and economic success.

We may now be on the cusp of a great reordering of the nation’s population as many people decide it is time to separate themselves and their families from the social, political and moral turbulence of this country’s large Democrat-controlled urban areas.

People with all sorts of political beliefs are going to get out because they are watching Democrat-controlled city after city reach a tipping point of social disorder and political disorganization.

In the past three months it has become clear that modern urban Democrat progressivism is politically incompetent and intellectually incoherent.

Derek Chauvin was a racist cop,

a registered Democrat,

working for a Democrat Police Chief

voted into office by Democrat voters,

in a Democrat controlled city,

in a Democrat controlled state.

He had 18 complaints against him and was let off multiple times by Democrat prosecutor,

now Democrat Senator and failed Democrat presidential candidate Amy Klobuchar.

But somehow, it's all Trump's fault?!

Facts: America is accused of racism, of holding racial minorities back by way of system-wide white supremacism, and yet Jews, black Nigerians, Indian Americans (from India), and Asians are more successful in America than whites, and their respective imprison rates are lower than whites.

How is it possible in a country that we’re told is riddled with the cancer of white supremacism for those four groups to enjoy a higher standard of living and more success than their all-powerful, white oppressors?

The asking of the question answers the question.

[On Sunday May 31, naturalized US citizen from Cameroon in West Africa, Nestride Yumga confronted BLM protestors in Washington DC.  “Black Lives Matter is a joke. You are the racists,” she told them. “Go to Chicago. They don’t have schools, and they die every day. They don’t matter because you can’t get attention from that…  You guys are hypocrites, attention seekers. No one is a victim here. The only victim here is George Floyd.” The video of her went so viral that she was invited to write an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal, published yesterday (6/08).  Here is the video – her op-ed follows.]

The day after the horrific death of George Floyd on May 25, the rioting began in Minneapolis.  It was violent, destructive, and murderous.  Tragically, the death of this one man at the hands of one particular bad cop became an opportunity for the demolition of the city.  Hundreds of small businesses, many of them minority-owned, were destroyed.

Like previous riots, the rioters have set their own communities back decades.  The riots spread to New York; Washington, D.C.; Los Angeles; Chicago; Santa Monica; Beverly Hills; and elsewhere.  There have been protests in nearly every other city in America.  Hundreds of millions of dollars in losses due to looting and damage to buildings have been incurred.

The question is, where on Earth are the Republicans?

Why has there been no press conference with every Republican in the House and Senate standing together to denounce all this violence?  To passionately defend our police?  Why are they cowering in silence?

The “peaceful protests” against the terrible brutalization and death of George Floyd soon either themselves turned violent or, in many cases, were hijacked by Antifa operatives and opportunistic looters or both.

It was certainly not as alleged a “small number” who destroyed swaths of New York, Santa Monica, Minneapolis, or Philadelphia.

After watching hours of such footage of mayhem and destruction, one can glean a few rules that the rioters apparently followed quite religiously. And they are often disconcerting if not bizarre. Here is a sample of 10.
