This sort of thing is related to the spirals of rhetoric and violence.  The red culture is coming to have a strong element of negligent homaside, harassment and violence.  It should be noted.

I have been predicting the old values will go away.  They certainly take a big hit in a given crisis.  Does anyone want this to become a regular feature of the culture?  If the bulk of the country is voting to fight the bug, extend decency and reduce systematic racism, must something be done with the red renegades and just plain vandals?

How much is done to them will depend on what they do; how violent they get, whether they stage a violent rebellion, etc. I guess Classic Xer might have a handle on what the red renegades intend to do. Of course the vandals whether blue or red need to be curtailed; they provide Trump with his best campaign slogans. It is in the interest of the blue side to bring about genuine law and order with justice. We will then be the opposite of what Trump and his followers like Classic Xer will still say we are.
