Elites Only Care About The Politics Of Riots, Not The Lives And Property Lost

Portland militants eclipsed 100 days of consecutive rioting this weekend to cap off a historic summer of unrest, which appears likely to persist through election day as campaigns amplify nationwide divisions.

After months of exhaustive attempts to downplay the riot violence, and even justify the brutality, Democratic elites and their allies in corporate media have begun to change their tune on the destructive forces gripping the nation’s cities. They are now decrying the left-wing savagery, not out of concern for fellow citizens, but rather to ensure a Democratic re-election this fall after observing a notable shift in the presidential race in Trump’s favor.

2020 Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden only began to forcefully condemn the riot violence of his own base late last month, after qualifying each of the his past few criticisms with a denunciation of the police, who have become the targets of mortar-style fireworks and permanently blinding lasers.

“It’s showing up in the polling. It’s showing up in focus groups. It is the only thing right now that is sticking,” said CNN’s Don Lemon panicking on-air as conventions wrapped up going into September. “The riots and the protests have become indistinguishable.”
