Tired of the toxicity of social media? Why not join Ricochet for just $5/month? Think of it as an online bar. Come in, have a drink, hang out, say whatever you want. But don’t badger, bully, or berate the other drinkers. That's our only rule.
Any projections on this years riot season? Are you expecting Black Lives Matter style riots in cities across America, destroying entire neighborhoods? Or just some bored Georgetown undergrads throwing rocks at DC police? Will this go on for months, or perhaps just long enough for the news cycle to get the pictures they need? Will Democrat leaders openly encourage death and destruction, like they did with Antifa and BLM? Or will they be more discreet this time?
Hard to say, I suppose. But the only thing that would surprise me is if there were no Democrat riots at all. That's just how they do politics. Violence is not an unintended consequence of Democrat politics. That's just how they do politics. They destroy cities and assault bystanders, then scream that Republicans are violent.
The news is getting boring. It's too predictable.

I agree. There will be outbursts--how serious, I don't know...

I am hoping for extreme cold and record snow in DC in January to discourage organized violent buffoonery.
Things feel subdued for now. 2016 was a shocking surprise. This outcome was not.

A reporter at Townhall reported that there were (apparently pre-planned) riots in Seattle (WA) and Portland (OR). No surprise. What surprised me was the report that the police in both cities quickly shut down those riots.

My guess is the left is going to descend on DC like locusts for Trump's 2nd inauguration . . .
