Not sure what the end game is for the far left.
Fail to see how destroying cities run by left wing politicians helps them.

Is destroying areas that vote blue somehow going to cause people living in areas that vote red to change their minds?

The more folks that you make dependent on government, the more power you have over the people.

The nation will not throw states under the bus - "we the people" will be stuck paying for their stupidity. Continued stupidity followed by repeatedly drawing off the teat of the rest of the US drags everyone down.
Its how the Cloward/Piven strategy is designed.

It's how Cloward/Piven has been working successfully in the background for over 50 years.
It works best when people argue that its not really a thing. "Cloward Piven" is just a right wing hoax...
...except for the fact that Richard Cloward and Frances Piven were REAL professors that worked REAL jobs teaching REAL students at Columbia University. They published REAL papers in 1971 and 1977 that openly declared that their goal was the restructuring of the government welfare program that would eventually result in a guaranteed-income program.

Cloward/Piven is probably just another conspiracy hoax by right wing extremists because the citizens in the United States of American Idol are too smart to fall for such silliness.

No, it’s the reason people living in blue cities/states move to red cities/states and then vote for blue politicians and bring it all with them.

Madness I tell you, madness.

They are commies - and destroying the old fits the loathing, envious philosophy - simultaneously, chaos and an apparent lack of control and “competence” potentially hurts Trump - creates more dependence (see CP discussion by Box) - the most certainly Democrat voting thugs (community organizers) have exerted their dominance in the space (always useful for future reference)...all these things together potentially move the needle farther left on the political spectrum...everything must be torn down in order to rebuild a more “perfect” man/system of social control.

The destruction phase is a useful idiot’s wet dream.

If a person doesn't have a pot to piss in and somebody comes along and says "Follow me and I'll give you a pot to piss in" - by the time they figure out they ain't getting a pot it's too late.

The DNC & ANTIFIA:

They are the enforcement wing's of the Radical Communist Democrat Party. Who is the leader of The Party, ?, I think it is still being contested. It is almost certain that HRC, Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, & other elected congress people are not the King Makers. Then Who is behind the scenes making the decisions about the future of the Democrat Party? Who is this ghost figure that will pick Joe's Vice Presidential running mate ? The chairman of the DNC ?The Big Money donors, The smoke filled room of political operatives ? ANY CANDIDATES that you the readers of the postings of this web site can think of ?

Once The Commission replaced the capo di tutti capi it became more difficult to read the tea leaves of the Democratic Party...with as much certainty...the Federation might have some say as well as AOC and Star-fleet Command. In years past, the Politburo with the blessing of the Presidium of the Central Committee had some say...Sharon Osbourne, Nick Cannon, Mel B and Howie Mandel will weigh-in along with the required Obama’s giving their blessing. Rumor has it that Heidi Klume and Simon Cowell will cast votes but don’t count out Tyra Banks, Gabrielle Union and Julianne Hough as power brokers in this selection. Bernie Bros will share opinions but they are still sulking.

The ONE thing that you can be absolutely 100% sure of - in the selection of any Democrat VP candidate - will be that said candidate will be THOROUGHLY vetted...how in hell do you think we got Joe Biden? Or, Obama for that matter?

Sorry Tom, you deserve a serious answer to a serious question...but these are Democrats that we’re talking about...soooo as far as I can tell...

...for a variety of reasons my money is on Sofía Margarita Vergara for Biden’s VP candidate !

Bring on the the poolside interviews !

What we are seeing is a direct and proportional result of how badly Obama/Holder/Lynch screwed this country up. I thought race relations were the best they had ever been before 2009 and after Cambridge “He acted stupidly” moment it all went down the rabbit hole.
As I recall Holder and/or the Obama Administration had dreams of nationalizing the Police across the US, or at very least put them under the heavy thumb of the US Government.

That brings to mind the signage that read 'Defund the Police' that are commonly seen during this current situation.

To give you a serious answer to that very good question, Tom; I submit that George Soros and Bill Gates are the 2 most important opinion leaders followed by Oprah, Barry and William Jefferson Clinton to conplete the Star Chamber. YMMV

ANTIFA is the street level arm.

Obama, Soros, Gates, Pelosi, Klinton, Schumer, et al are the money, the brain/strategists, and CNN and NYT, MSNB and their many minions, AOC, Talib, Schiff, Brennan, Clapper, Democrat governors and mayors, etc., etc., provide cover, misdirection and act as propaganda megaphones.

Steyer, Bloomberg, etc., and big tech CEOs are known to be sympathetic have tools, platforms, ambitions and have cash to burn.

Democrats at War
A major party joins the enemy.

Wed Jun 3, 2020 David Horowitz
Front PageMag

The Democrat Party is at war with America. That is the clear message of the Democrats’ responses to the crises that have engulfed our nation over the last six months, made our streets war zones, and destroyed the small business communities that are the life blood of our system. When the country was attacked by a deadly virus from China in January, the Democrats’ attacked the president’s efforts to stop it at the border, then blamed him for the 100,000 deaths that followed. Yet Democrat governors controlled the health systems of every major center of the covid19 devastation and were 100% responsible for any policies that failed.

When the president attempted to re-open the economy in May, Democrat governors and mayors issued draconian orders to arrest individuals violating their “social distancing” injunctions by strolling in parks, lounging on beaches and – worst of all - attempting to revive their barbershops and salons. As a direct consequence of these imposed shutdowns forty million Americans lost their jobs. To many of us, the Democrats’ purpose was clear: to depress the economy and blame the consequences on the president. This became the incessant theme of their political utterances and ads.

Yet these seditious Democrat attacks on the commander-in-chief in the midst of the war against an invisible enemy maintained a cover of plausibility because of the uncertainties surrounding the virus and how it was spread. This mask was dropped when a civil insurrection erupted in the wake of the horrific police murder of George Floyd. In its wake America’s streets were filled with massive crowds of protesters and as it turned out domestic terrorists. These terrorists, led by the communist organization Antifa used the protests as a cover for violent and hate-filled attacks on ordinary citizens and their businesses. As these attacks escalated into the torching of city centers and the devastation of poor communities, the hypocrisies of Democrats and their true agendas became inescapably clear.

Virtually all the mayhem was centered in Democrat-controlled states and cities. The same mayors who had jailed local business people and ordinary citizens for congregating in groups of more than ten were utterly silent as crowds of thousands formed to tear their cities apart. Meanwhile not a single word was uttered, not a single arrest made, by these same Democrat governors and mayors to prevent the protesters and rioters from violating the social distancing ordinances they had used to close churches and houses of worship the week before. While stores, apartment buildings and even police stations were torched by violent radicals, while ordinary citizens were being terrorized, Democrat governors were reluctant to call out their national guards and nip the riots in the bud.

This reluctance became active resistance when they defied the president’s appeals to them to take every measure necessary to stop the the terrorists in their tracks and restore law and order to our cities. One of the most frightening sights amidst all the mayhem was the direct threat the street terrorists posed to the White House. Thousands of rioters and protesters gathered in front of the White House.

What were the protesters doing at the White House in the first place? The president had condemned the murder of George Floyd and called his family immediately after the event. There wasn’t a politician or public figure in the entire nation who was defending the killer cop. Why were these crowds menacing the White House and attacking the secret service – fifty of whose members had already been injured by their violent assaults? Every night for the preceding week, the “peaceful protest” had turned into violent attacks on law enforcement and the surrounding area. And night after night the Democrat mayor of Washington failed to provide the security necessary to make the street in front of the White House a safe place for the members of our government, including the president.

On Sunday May 31, the mob in front of the White House set fire to the 200-year-old St. John’s church. Fed up with the support that Democrat governors and mayors were giving to the insurrection and the violence, the president decided on a bold step. On Monday June 1, he massed overwhelming numbers of the national guard, and demanded an early curfew planning to clear the streets and demonstrate to the seditious governors and mayors what they needed to do. The national guard drove the angry mob – protesters and terrorists – away from the White House and then the president and key members of his cabinet walked over to the church.

Every American who cares for their country and its president, who was watching this walk, held their breath, uncertain as to whether the president and his cabinet would be attacked and possibly assassinated, as so many public figures on the left had already advocated. Yet no sooner had the walk been completed than CNN and the Democrat media were mocking the president and creating the Democrats’ new talking point: Trump had ordered the national guard to use tear gas to attack a group of peaceful protesters in order to feed his narcissism for a photo-op. As if Donald Trump needed a photo op, and as if the peaceful protesters across the country had not systematically provided cover for the black clad Antifa terrorists wreaking havoc on the country. As if the need to use tear gas did not expose the menace posed by a crowd that was ready to violate a curfew in front of the White House and resist the representatives of law enforcement who had asked them three times to leave.

Along with Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and the Democrat mayor of Washington DC, Senator Elizabeth Warren condemned the president’s action, summing up the party line: “The President of the United States tear-gassed peaceful protestors in order to clear the way for a useless photo-op outside the White House—just after vowing to activate the military against our own people. Lives and our democracy are in danger.” Lives and our democracy are definitely in danger. But the danger comes from a Democrat Party that is at war with their country and willing to aid and abet a terrorist force, Antifa, whose clearly stated purpose is the destruction of the country.
