Guest Post by Jim Kunstler
And so, the party of the Resistance has completed its solemn four day confab of info-ceremonials and sent forth its Primero Ingenioso Hidalgo, Joe Biden, on his limping horse of platitudes, armored by news media hosannahs, a saintly woman-of-color at his side to assist, tilting onward with his lance of moral instruction to bring love, hope and light to a world darkened by the shadow of MAGA-Diablo, Trump-the-Terrible. Plus, Joe promised to stop Covid-19 and cure cancer.
The convention organizers contrived a schedule Thursday night that did not put Mr. Biden before the cameras until eleven o’clock, preceded by a cavalcade of his former primary election rivals and family members pouring on soporific encomiums to a tinkly-treacly musical sound-track — aiming, apparently, to lull as many viewers as possible to sleep before the speech. But finally, the candidate appeared out of the studio mists, and acquitted himself ably reading from the jumbotron teleprompter, while his handlers cringed off-stage in little pools of flop-sweat.
The speech itself was wholly an invocation of righteousness in opposition to the manifest evil as represented by the current occupant of the White House. The question is: how many voters actually believe that when the party of the Resistance tacitly supports mobs looting, shooting, and burning across the land. Earlier that day, the Terrible Trump sallied forth diabolically to Joe Biden’s place of birth, Scranton, PA, where he inveighed against “the crazy people on the other side.”
He had a point. The Democrats are crazy people with a mostly crazy policy program — which a large number of non-crazy Americans actually see for what it is: the drive to run America on sheer coercion, pitting the supposedly under-privileged against the supposedly over-privileged, telling everybody what to think and punishing all non-correct thinkers. The catch is that life in this country has gotten a whole lot harder for everybody economically and, before long, matters may turn quite desperate. So, will the months and years just ahead become a fight over the table-scraps of the bygone 20th century banquet, with dreadful racialist overtones, mobs rioting and battling in the streets?
The Democrats have not called off their war-dogs and really everybody is aware of that. Antifa rioters have insulted the public order for eighty-some nights in Portland, Oregon, while the Democratic mayor, Ted Wheeler and the Democratic governor, Kate Brown, do absolutely nothing to stop it. Similar campaigns against civil order are run by Democratic mayors Lori Lightfoot in Chicago and Bill DeBlasio in New York City to the degree that these places may never return to the old normal. Mayor Jacob Frey allowed “social justice” mobs to burn down Minneapolis, leading the city council to logically propose abolishing the city’s police force. The Democratic regime in California uses hordes of the mentally ill homeless to prod its productive citizens to flee the state. Baltimore, Philadelphia, St Louis, Richmond, Louisville all yield to Democratic Party inspired violence and anarchy.
For Mr. Biden, the party’s Don Quixote and his sidekick Kamala Harris, yesterday with all its infomercial glitz will be the apogee of the campaign. Antifa is promising a big Saturday night of “good trouble” in Portland to end the week. The NFAC black paramilitary gang is promising a show of armed “resistance” at the Louisville racetrack on the rescheduled Sept 5 Kentucky Derby day. Last time the group came out, in late July, they accidently shot three of their own troops. Just a week before the Democratic Convention, looters on Chicago’s ritzy Michigan Avenue announced that their robberies should be written off as “reparations” for slavery. Mr. Biden and Ms. Harris haven’t said a word about any of it. The voters are not supposed to notice, or care.
Personally, I don’t see how this amounts to a winning election strategy. And the Democrats themselves may not either. Rather, their aim may be to generate as much disorder as possible from the election process itself to paralyze governing the USA at every level and paint Mr. Trump as Hobgoblin-in-chief in order to keep their hustle going: the mau-mauing of America. It’s a really dumb and reckless game and it will bring on a whole lot of not-good trouble for a country reeling into full-blown economic collapse.

Time to palletize that basement floor or get a bigger basement. I don’t think they are waiting for the election. Labor Day and the following week where they claim they are assaulting or laying siege to the White House will see firefights and Democrat Mayors and their minions arrested or forcibly removed by the Feds. Expect Gen. Milley and Defense Sec. Esper to figure in some kind of Constitutional crisis.
Be advised, these commie insurgent groups show no mercy. Give none.
“Give none.”
I am ready for the time of no quarters given
Not just quarters, but dimes, nickels and pennies too. There is a shortage of change you know . . .
We are probably going to see more violence rather than less as an emboldened antifa/blm army reminds Joe and Co. that they are the driving force of this election for the left. Democrats make a huge mistake when they think that normal people won’t notice their deafening silence. I also think they are making a mistake if they think that when and if Joe winds,the rioters will declare victory and tear down the barricades and go home. They won’t.
They dream of jobs as Zampolits or political officers. They do not wish to eliminate the police. They wish to become the police based on some sick NKVD model.
Somalia comes to mind when I think of Aunti Fa and BM running security in the cities.
Hmmm . . . I remember hearing someone speak of a national police force just as powerful as the military . . .
Defund and disband the local police, create a vacuum and voila! Merkel can run it, she has extensive experience.
If Biden wins the whole shebang is coming down.
Where can we find some of those antifa/blm around here? I’m really tired of putting holes in paper targets.
>Plus, Joe promised to stop Covid-19 and cure cancer.
Not only that, he also promised to rebuild America, by bringing back “manufacturing” to the US.
Now where did I hear that before…
They will never re-industrialize the US, the whole point of outsourcing manufacturing was to destroy the middle class, mission accomplished.
These globalist absolutely despise America and Americans, and want to create a version of utopia where there are no little people cluttering up “their beaches, roads, national parks”.
The uber rich have bought and paid for policies designed to eliminate you and me from this planet, and covid19 is the springboard to implementing a huge purge of civilization, using genetic engineering and mass vaccinations.
Mandatory vaccinations are coming, and without proof, no worky, no shoppy, no drivey for you.
They are implementing a caste system, where non conforming = untouchable
Armstrong reviews their agenda.
Joe probably can stop Covid 19. Well his handlers could probably turn it off at anytime they wanted.
MAGA Diablo is sublime.
I missed the whole DNC shebang, even so, I could still smell the stench of desperation.
Trump and Carlson are making them own it! Expect to see a huge audience listen in during the republican speeches, which should all show the reels of the wicked burning, riots and criminals the entire convention. Should be interesting to hear the Dem response…crickets.
