Leftists, and democrats both synonymously and in general use power of the state against the people. Understand that antifa, BLM and other organizations of the Democratic party are the tools, useful idiots if you will, the instruments of change.

Sacrificing a few lemmings to justify bringing down the full weight of the police state ran by democrats or milquetoast Republicans is part of the inside outside game and is a successful strategy to overthrow governments and ruling classes throughout history.

the fact that so many people believe the narratives of BLM/ antifa not only make it that much more visceral and real, it also reflects just how far our society has collapsed and we as a people generally have very little understanding of the values set forth in the constitution, let alone it's reason for existence, the declaration of independence.

This is the reason Obama says he can't legislate DACA, yet a federal judge not only upholds it as law he also remand the current POTUS for attempting to stop this policy. It's the reason judges can rewrite healthcare laws as what they should be. It's the reason people who lie about secret FISA warrants can evade criminal charges even after someone pleads guilty to the fact they were fraudulent doesn't go to jail.

The constitution is a dead letter. What you are witnessing now is the beginning of a 21st century generation form and write it's values, a new declaration of independence if you will while laying the groundwork to destroy the current... essentially it's this: when a govt no longer represents the people, it's up to the people to dissolve and reform a new govt.

It's the same for both sides by the way. That kid who drives up from Antioch Illinois isn't a hero. You can't defend someone else's property better than they can, and if they want to let their city burn that's on them and it reflects of them. That kid is a tool, a useful idiot, perhaps better stated as controlled opposition. (Ruining up to Kenosha with his mask and gun...)

You can loot and riot, but open you salon business or attend a church and you'll have police showing up to arrest you.

We are the Weimar Republic right now..
