Waiting for the Counterrevolution
As the rioting continues, Democrats and the media attempt to blame it all on Trump, and most Americans watch and worry, in silence

We are in the midst of a revolution, a cultural and racial one, that seeks to refute the past, damn the present, and hijack the future. So far, however, we have only heard from one side, the revolutionaries and their enablers themselves.

Those trying to reject and then reboot America are small as a percentage of the population, but their tactics are diverse, and their frightened abettors and closet appeasers numerous. The result for now is that, as with most cultural revolutions, a tiny percentage of the population seems to be ascending, given that there is no real organized resistance other than isolated and disgusted individuals.
...
So what will the majority ultimately do?

It is slowly steaming but for the moment still holds on to a shred of hope that the madness will die out as the revolution cannibalizes its own — even though many know that it will not. Maybe the Democratic Party will tack back to the respectable Left, or so many dream.

Yet at some point, if the rioting and revolution and overt socialism continue, the majority will weigh in, likely from mid September to mid October.

The Democratic Party knows this. So its functionaries are now frantically trying to portray Trump as the instigator of the violence — or claim there is no violence at all. They permanently script and seclude the cognitively challenged Biden, and redefine Antifa and BLM as our own sons and daughters who, if a little rowdy and zealous at times, have their hearts in the right place and soon will calm down and join the victorious Democratic war wagon.

When a terrorist organization like BLM secures a 52% poll approval rating, you know things are F'ed up, and there are hurricane force head winds.  The sheeple have been brainwashed by the MSM, as evidenced in their 24/7 effort to destroy Trump

Any so called counter revolutionary efforts to counter the BLM/Antifa threat will be marginalized as an Alt-Right racist radical response. 
Don't forget, only white people can be racist.
Another example of where perceptions are usually 10X stronger than reality.
