When This Blows Over

(The left's street protesters act as if there is no
social or political problem that can't be addressed
by hurling things at cops.)
The same media that would have denounced
pro-Trump protests as a threat to democracy has
treated the anti-Trump protests as a natural
symptom of a divided country. Erupting in rage at
the result of an election went from a grave offense
against our system to the latest front in the battle
for social justice right around the time that the
Upper Midwest was called for Trump.
The same kids who think Donald Trump is too
divisive were soon smashing windows and throwing
projectiles at police.
The level of self-awareness of the protesters isn't
high. Some hold signs reading "This is what
democracy looks like." It is true that the right to
peaceful assembly is a key aspect of any liberal
democracy (even if some protesters need to work
on the "peaceful" part), but as an illustrative
exercise in democracy, you can't beat the national
election last Tuesday that has so outraged
anti-Trump protesters.
