In a slowly heated pot of water?

The "protesters" keep inching further along, asking for more and more and the press and the left just nod their heads and give in.

Cancel culture is looking more and more like McCarthyism with slighter offenses being supported by the left and the press.

Actual violence is being ignored unless it is the right people getting hurt.

Attempts to quell the violence is called nazism by the left and the press so nothing can be stopped.

People protecting themselves are being arrested so that others are now afraid to do anything.

The water's not boiling yet but it is getting close. Maybe we need to jump out of the pot.

Yes, and I’ve given that analogy before.

I’ve also said this could have been a sci-fi movie, like Body Snatchers, in three parts:

Scene 1. Communist China releases a bio-weapon which infects the brain and makes its victim prone to brainwashing. (It fails in a small percentage of cases, with about .05% dying.)

Scene 2. The brainwashed victims begin rioting and burning and destroying cities throughout country, under the guise of a racist, Marxist group called BLM, convincing the multitudes of the brainwashed that those objecting to attempts to restore order are the evil ones, and the criminal ones are the good ones. It escalates to the point that those who point out the truth are threatened with their livelihoods, or, even murdered.

Scene 3. The Marxists have won, the nuclear family disrupted, positive traits such as “working hard” or “speaking properly” are condemned as whiteness (whites now looked upon as inferior), and....as the credits start to roll, the camera zooms in on the leaders of the Communist Party.....laughing.

Problem is, a movie like that would have flopped. Way too far-fetched.

Yes, pretty absurd, and its interesting you know it yourself, and yet promote such ideas anyway.

Everything that's happening right now is right out of the Marxist handbook. There's countless videos about this on you tube. Including warnings from people that lived through it in Yugoslavia, Venezuela, Bolivia, etc. Unfortunately, some on the left want it, and others are so blinded by Trump hatred, the ends justify the means.

If the silent majority doesn't wake-up (if there is one), no one (but those in power) is going to like the outcome.

You're not wrong-but you have to realize a lot of those things are limited to a handful of failing cities run by utter incompetents, that are in the process of dying anyway. NYC. Seattle. Portland. Chicago. Mogadishu, er Minneapolis. Baltimore. These all were once great cities, built up over many decades. All failing and falling into liberal, crime-infested crapholes. The voters continue to elect worse and worse leaders, based on promises of handouts, rather than any that will make their cities great again.

Again though, it's just a few failed cities-most of this country is appalled and disgusted with the rioters and violence, and the "leadership" of these cities that enable it.

YouTube......Please educate us about the similarities of US today and what happened in Yugoslavia

You can also talk about what the 'Marxist handbook' says about what is happening in US. You may quote directly from the handbook.

Doesn't feel slow to me. It's been scorching hot for years. But if the world actually has to be on fire before recognizing the danger what can you do. No one listens to the few voices, or they just get shouted down.
