Galston: "No Kings" Protests Were Peaceful--Even Patriotic

Seems that some Republicans made some pretty implausible claims about the protests...though I'm not sure they're refuted by Galston talking to people in his synagogue and driving around his neighborhood...

   Seems to me that these protests...which I guess we're having every month or so now...are filled with shitlibs and cat ladies, not Antifa anarcho-retards. This is the clueless milquetoast end of the spectrum...

...

Though, as you know, I think they do basically get their political ideas--such as they are--and the equivalent of their marching orders from the wacko lefty end of the blue end of the spectrum...but no reason to yammer on about that again, I guess.

   Anyway, it's worth remembering that a lot of people on the center-left (such as it is anymore) do love the country and want the best for it. They're confused--currently--but mostly good people. And our countrymen, remember. I wish they'd think things through a bit more. They're making some really stupid mistakes. But, then, politics does that to people. And Trump is making it much more difficult for them to think clearly about things.

   Of course, the left makes it more difficult for us to think about the issues, too. When you've got a mob of incoherent loons shrieking nonsense at you all the time (here I speak mostly of the more radical part of the blue team...but not entirely...) it's difficult to keep a level head and sift through it for the few nuggets of sanity...

   But anyway...

   The flagship demand of the left right now seems to be: No enforcement of immigration laws...ever. Bigot. 

This seems to me to be no improvement on their last three-or-so flagship issues:

Women have penises, bigot.

Trump is literally Hitler, bigot.

No enforcement of any laws against blacks, bigot.

And those haven't gone away, of course. The left, loving fads, has just moved on to a new shiny ideologivcal bauble.

Oops...almost forgot:

From the river to the sea. Bigot.

Some river or other...some sea or other...

Well, anyway. I didn't expect anything radical from these shenanigans. I'm surprised Bessent et al. did. I mean, there were radicals mixed in there. But this was always going to be the left on its best behavior.

But really, the most important point here is: these aren't the radicals. These are mostly people who want the best for the nation...they're just confused about what that amounts to.
