The Nation Has Gone Mad
Eight days of nationwide anarchy in the midst of a public health pandemic have fully exposed the lunacy of our new obsessively woke era.

In case you had any doubt, yes, the nation has gone mad.
Last week, the death of a Minnesota black man named George Floyd ignited the worst outbreak of civil disobedience in recent history plunging a nation already under lockdown stress further into anarchy as angry rioters take to the streets terrorizing American cities in the name of social justice.
Floyd’s death at the knees of a Minneapolis police officer caught on tape was clearly unjust, rightfully setting off a wave of anger over the killing of a black civilian who appeared to be no threat. As the protests got underway however, demonstrations quickly took a darker turn in a nation grappling with record levels of unemployment and an ongoing public health pandemic. With more than 40 million unemployed Americans roaming the streets of a country fatigued under 10-week lockdowns, a nation that has been increasingly convinced by a Left-wing movement that it is irredeemably racist and full of white supremacists was primed for the storm of civil unrest it is now suffering.
The current moment has fully exposed the extent to which ugly divides have gone mainstream, illustrating the lunacy of our new woke-obsessed culture and the incompetency of our leaders.
“This is how nations collapse,†Fox News’ Tucker Carlson observed Monday night in a 32-minute monologue that will go down as a defining moment in prime time cable television.
