Excellent essay!

If Trump wins over these people, some will argue it’s because the center has given way to a silent contingent of racists. Or because they’ve been fooled into thinking he’s making America great again. Or because they were persuaded his handling of the pandemic wasn’t so bad. Or because they prefer to have a “businessman” in charge when the economy begins its swan dive into the abyss.

But it’s also possible that Trump could pull these people into his camp for another reason: despite all his flaws and baggage, he scares them less than the alternative. Independent voters may break for Trump because they’re terrified by the rising cult of the “woke.”

As a former Democrat, I can’t help but notice the party dedicated to civility, tolerance, diversity, and equality no longer seems to reflect these values; it’s even become antithetical to them. People committed to doing the “right” thing are exhibiting behavior that reasonable people simply can’t fathom. It makes no sense, and yet we can clearly see it happening.

The Left embraces freedom of speech — as long as it doesn’t run counter to their narrative. Students lobby for “safe spaces” on campus to express their opinions, yet fight to ensure dissenting voices aren’t allowed to speak. Anti-racists spew hateful vitriol at the “other” side, then cry foul if a slightly insensitive comment offends a “protected” class. People who abhor violence beat others for wearing hats and t-shirts supporting the “wrong” party. Kathy Griffin even felt comfortable holding Trump’s severed head in a photo shoot (can you imagine what would happen if a white person “mocked” the first black president by pulling the same stunt?)

Anti-racists spew hateful vitriol

Seems accurate. Although I'd say that the term "anti-racists" is misused and misapplied.

If Trump wins we may have to round up the Retards they have been incubating for well over 30 years. With psychotropic drugs, brainwashing, MDA, Extacy, and Marxist America hating endocrine.
And put them all in reeducation camps or process the ones that are beyond repair.

Those that think I being over dramatic.

I read the responses to her excellent article. All the lefties completely missed her points and got stuck on definitions of “defund the police.” This is good, as it predicts that the Left will continue making their drastic mistakes right up until they lose this election in an epic way. Which will be best for America. These idiots have NO BUSINESS anywhere near power! We need to kick them back to their parents basements and put the violent rioters in prison for lengthy terms.
Fuck these leftists.

A fantastic speech by a black D representative from TN: https://twitter.com/andrewdoyle_com/status/1299158764071923713

Take a guess if he was quickly cancelled by D's despite being black and having participated in civil rights movement.
