The right is always deeply upset. Their rage has been fueled by demagogues and grifters for decades now. It's time to stop appeasing them.


Several American cities have been under siege for months from violent leftists. They normalized violent political tantrums with the support of the media, local governments, and many politicians. They even sieged the White House, injuring many Secret Service. They paved the way for this week’s lunacy.


"Cities under siege" is hyperbolic nonsense.

What paved the way for this week's lunacy was a concerted effort to cast doubt on the entire democratic process by lying about it, spread by grifters and fed to rubes. Blaming "violent leftists" for what happened this week is just encouraging the actual bad actors to avoid responsibility for their own actions (yet again).
