These nutty leftists can cause destruction, but they lack the ability to transition and consolidate any gained power because of the nature of the existing economy.
Specifically, transportation and insurance.

They always go after densely populated areas because of friendly/weak local leaders and the anonymity of crowds.
The handful of adventures into less densely populated areas have been severe failures (but have made for some entertaining videos).

Densely populated areas are completely dependent on surrounding areas for everything which, in turn, requires transportation.
When these areas become unsafe, transportation of goods diminishes.

There are already trucking companies who are planning to cease service anywhere that the police are subject to defunding.
They don't want to risk drivers/equipment/cargo and don't want to pay all the elevated insurance costs which go with servicing such areas.

Existing businesses in the area of all sorts will cease to operate because insurance will be too expensive or denied altogether and profit margins will further suffer from tightening supply/increased costs due to shipping issues.
The same insurance/logistical problems apply to any attempted functioning of local governments.

Like it or not, insurance and shipping companies decide how (and whether) economies function.

Thumbs-up.
Some logistical lessons were not learned during the initial Covid roll-out. They might have to be hammered home - again.

Political power is subject to economic reality.

Was pondering...

I wonder if the PD's in any of these metro-hives currently undergoing the lion's share of the visibility for the rioting are getting any benefit in terms of intel from all the much-vaunted fusion centers that were setup around the country. It's hard to tell if they're doing anything but reacting because their political bosses seem to have their hands tied to a certain extent. But someone should've, by now, put themselves in a position to glean the intent & future opns of these knuckleheads. The actual real-estate being contested in these cities is not a giant footprint. One city at a time isn't going to fix Antifa at the strategic level; but on a tactical level you'd think someone would have a thought about making them play somewhere else.

Unless
a) these fusion cells are all still just busy looking for keywords in emails that are insulting to Moochelle Obama, or redneck veterans with guns that fly a Mississippi CSA battle streamer on their pickup truck
b) the political will to win anything (versus "just don't lose") isn't there.
c) All the above.

Yeah, saw that, as well as that night foray from Portland into a Eugene suburb who ran 'em out.

Due to the media feeding the peaceful protest narrative a large portion of the US citizenry has absolutely no idea how out of control these events are getting. In the video below two members of the BLM mob who are blocking traffic pull handguns on a blue pickup.

I lived there for 20 years. Before it became North Boulder/another Denver suburb. Good to see the people pushing back.

STAND-OFF:

The city I reside in has a Weak demo/lib/progressive mayor, a weak leaderless demo controlled lib/progressive city council a strong-willed radical democrat /communist DA who is married to a retired Phila.Common Pleas Court Judge, also a progressive lib/demo/socialist They all hate the PPD, however the FOP lodge 5 has a strong President who will fight for the union members against the corrupt demo city leaders who DO NOT BACK LAW ENFORCEMENT at any level. The City has had @ 50 years of inept non leadership from elected officials. The demo machine controls the city with a 7:1 majority registration edge.

Yup. Green lasers are like tracers and work both ways, no?
