Here’s the background to the quote below.
This is as true in the U.S. as it is in the U.K.
“It is hard to avoid the conclusion that we are ruled by people who fear the anger of the masses following acts of inhumanity more than they do the acts of inhumanity themselves.”
Note the overreaction of the political class to the theater of Jan 6, 2020. If what’s happening in the U.K. now were to happen in the U.S., there’s no telling how they’d react.
Oh wait; something like that did happen, when the Antifa/BLM riots leveled whole areas of various cities and anarchy became the order of the day in places like Portland and NYC.
But those riots were virtuous riots, you see, riots that were actually supported by the ruling- and media elites. If ever there’s a furious backlash by conservatives against — oh I don’t know, say massive and palpable vote fraud by the socialists which prevents Donald Trump from winning the November 2024 election — you can be damn sure that the Marines will be mobilized, posse comitatus be damned.
This is going to be interesting.
