You might be right, I hope so. But I lived in DC for a time, during 2014, even back then it was the most oppressively liberal place I'd ever encountered. They're more the elitist type though, so they may be more reticent.
In regards to him putting up with it?
I am. He may let it go a day or so before putting his foot down, like he did with the first wave of riots, but he has no choice but to re-establish law and order. That's his brand. He can brush off Seattle, because Seattle has all the tools to end CHAZ in an hour, the mayor is on record not wanting to stop it, Trump has stated he is willing to send in troops (but won't without her support), and it's an isolated situation.
Basically, the emerging plan for the first riots was this:
- Allow/use Antifa to create lots of property damage.
- Pull back police force.
- Use media resources to portray the violent riots as peaceful protests.
- Trump feels compelled to put down the riots, fearing they make him look weak.
- Trump sends troops and they use excessive force.
- Media and DNC portrays Trump as a fascist thug who put down a peaceful protest against police brutality against minorities.
- When/if that didn't work, spread it across the country to give Trump the illusion that the entire country is imploding. If he doesn't act, people will think he's weak, so he will overreact.
- If that doesn't work, take it to his front lawn and scare the shit out of him or mock him for his weakness.
The problem was that was as follows:
- Due to social media, everyone got to see the extensive use of property damage and violence. In fact, we saw this in box stores. And that had I think, an interesting effect; because if you walked into a box store in Maryland, you could mistake it for one in Minnesota. The advantage is that it lets anyone from anywhere in the country find whatever they want. In this situation, it made it really easy for you to picture it being your target.
- Pulling back the police, while intent on forcing Trump to act, also destroyed the DNC's narrative on gun ownership. The DNC's position was that you had the police to protect you, they would protect you, and you don't need a gun--especially not one with a high capacity magazine or full auto. Except we saw that even when people are literally burning and looting small businesses, the police will not come to save you and you may indeed need something with high capacity and high rate of fire.
- Because of social media, using media sources to make the protesters look innocent didn't just fail, it backfired. You had a guy standing in front of a burning building (several blocks away) claiming that everything was fine. The conclusion was that either they were horribly dishonest or incredibly stupid. We literally reached parody levels.
- Trump did not respond to the uprising in Minessota.
- When Trump did send the troops, they did not use excessive force. In fact, the rioters came off for the worse, because videos of them antagonizing soldiers ended up online for everyone to see. Soldiers are well loved in the US. Even people like Pelosi don't dare come right out and say anything bad about our troops. That's a major voting bloc. And here you have people screaming in troop faces about how they're scum.
- When Trump did send troops out to clear DC up, they at first had some initial success trying to portray Evangelicals as outraged by Trump's use of force and "photo-op", but that quickly fell through because the truth was he chased off the very same people who desecrated one of our oldest churches. While they may not have liked the photo-op, in the situation Trump was more "right" than he was "wrong". After that, the narrative fell apart, even after they tried to goad him by saying he was hiding in his bunker.
- Spreading it across the country did not do the DNC or the media any favors, as they had hoped it would. Since the double-edged sword was that if Trump didn't respond, the country would lose faith in him and if he did respond, they would paint him as a fascist, they didn't realize that Trump could do both. See, even if you hate Trump, you still expect him to defend you if someone attacked the country. So what Trump did was wait long enough for just about everyone to realize that they might get hurt before he brought down the hammer. The result was a mismatch in narrative; the general population was more angry at Trump's delay than what he would actually do. The media however, tried to shine a light on what Trump did, not realizing the shift in focus.
- Sending people to break into the White House (or threaten to) does not win you any sympathetic hearts. Because everyone with half a brain knows that if you breach that wall, you are not coming back.
So what the DNC is doing now, is the repeat of the same trick. They like that for some reason. Pelosi and the rest of the DNC morons tried it on Trump. First by using the Russian Investigation to give the impression of a President who would be impeached (and therefore might) and then later trying to use the Biden Scandal to impeach the President. Don't be surprised when in the middle or late summer area, after these protests fail, they might try to go back to the COVID-19 scare.
Anyway, the idea seemed to be that CHAZ would force Trump to send in the military to retake those city blocks. Similar pattern:
- Declare the Capital Hill Autonomous Zone.
- Have the DNC and media portray it as peaceful and democratic, while pulling out police forces and allowing crimes to go rampant.
- Trump bumbles in and his troops get into a gunfight with Raz and his goons or otherwise kill "protesters".
- Media slaughters Trump.
What happened though was this:
- People were still unhappy about the riots. Most of the ones paying attention laughed at the lunacy of parts of a city declaring itself independent of the country.
- Social media undercut traditional media and DNC claims that the region was peaceful. Rape, sexual assault, theft, and murder are rampant. Worse, the own internal bullshit of the people running the show was made very public.
- Trump is refusing to get involved; says that he won't send in troops without the mayor's permission at his rally. He'll let it all burn. In essence, the only thing keeping law and order from being restored is the mayor herself. Who won't send in police or troops.
- Antifa looks like a joke as they scream about not having access to ambulances, who refuse to entire a region full of armed thugs with no police escort.
And now the plan is, I think, to try and start up BHAZ. The advantage is that being in DC, Trump can't just ignore it. DC is seen as part of his purview, regardless of the presence of local government. The problem they're going to find however, is that the public is tired of this behavior, sees no reason for it, most of us want to move on, and Trump can put various Antifa members in jail for the next ten years.
