Keep in mind that since the constabulary was first created in colonial America, they have always, ALWAYS been hired gunmen who work for politicians, principally big-city politicians, who have always been the most corrupt people in the country. When they were rational men like George Cryer or Fiorello La Guardia, who may have been lining their pockets but genuinely cared about the well-being of their constituents, or at least cared about the importance of keeping up appearances and not making everything too obvious, they served the greater good and fulfilled an important social role in maintaining order and safety.
Now they work for people like Lori “Beetlejuice” Lightfoot, Jacob Frey, and Ted Wheeler, for whom the only answer to “what is two plus two” is “kill Whitey.” Now they’re following orders just like before, only now the orders are to stand around with their thumbs stuck up their assholes and watch Antifa/BLM throw molotovs into federal courthouses, stop traffic, and drag people out of their cars and execute them. But suddenly should anyone they’re beating or trying to shoot defend themselves, suddenly they transform into Judge Dredd and swoop down guns blazing, screaming “EYE YAM THUH LAWRRRRRRRRR” as they slap the shiny bracelets on some taxpayer who dared not to give the bully his lunch money. Because those are their orders now, and they’re going to do what the guy who signs their paychecks says, the Constitution, the common law, common sense, common knowledge, common decency, and common courtesy be damned.
All of this erodes social capital, of course. That’s one of the reasons they do it. Read Gramsci. The first duty of the Party Vanguard is to crush and destroy social capital and cultural hegemony–these are big words for “society’s faith in its institutions”–utterly, because “the masses” won’t support Thuh RebboLOOshun until everything around them that they can see so fills them with despair, disgust, and rage that they are happy to see it all burn down. This is exactly what Bela Kun and the Bolsevikok Party did in Hungary in the 20s. This is exactly what the Spartakisten and the Roter Frontkampferbund in Germany in the 1930s–whose uniforms, flags, symbols, command structure, and beliefs Antifa has eagerly picked up. And they’re done with subtlety. They’re done with trying to boil the frog slowly.
Historically this always ends with “the masses” noticing exactly who is burning civilization down and a whole lot of “revolutionaries” hanging by their necks from trees and lampposts all over the country, by the hands of a strongman “the masses” elected to stop the Reds. But they’re very confident in their plan. They’ll do it RIGHT this time, don’t you see?
This is going to be an interesting summer. We may very well see civil war. China Joe has already fortified the Capitol, which is without precedent in the history of the republic and which was not even done during the World Wars, nor during the previous Civil War. Like Obama, he has appointed political commissars all through the executive branch three-letter agencies, and is gleefully purging anyone and everyone from the military who is suspected of having political beliefs one tenth of a millimeter to the right of Pol Pot, from flag rank on down to grunts and truck drivers.
We aren’t voting our way out of this. I’ve accepted that and made my peace with it. America, the nation we were raised to love and revere, is dead, and George Soros, Maxine Waters, and Chuck Schumer are standing on each other’s diminutive shoulders like the old cartoon gag with the three kids in a trenchcoat, wearing Uncle Sam’s skin like a suit, yelling “It’s not enough to obey! You have to love me too! What are you, a Nazi or something? Don’t question! OBEY!”
