We'll still have them in our areas but you won't be able to find anyone dumb enough to do it for you for much longer. You've probably seen last of Minnesota nice. So, how big are the Democratic plantations these days? ... Democrats... doesn't seem to get it that currently reside in Minnesota? I must admit, I've never really tried to make life for liberals miserable here. I could but I've never really tried to do it yet. I told you that blue America wouldn't be ready for what's coming. As far as I'm concerned, that's my only moral obligation to you and others here. You see, I'm only really obligated to forewarn and already fulfilled that obligation. So, what happens to blues is pretty on the blues and if blues come in and do or say stupid shit that make matters worse then tough shit. Honestly, I don't really care if a group of ghetto slugs and blue morons venture onto a freeway and get flattened by a semi truck. I don't care if they fuck up the Twin Cities even worse than the Covid19 virus already fucked them up.
Oh, so to what do people turn when law enforcement isn't around? Lynching? I think of South Africa in the waning years of Apartheid, when the Apartheid system did nothing to repress black-on-black crime while rigidly enforcing racial segregation. Necklacing? In this the damned had a gasoline-filled tire placed around his arms and torso and it was ignited. I am guessing that most of people who died in that horrible way were rapists, robbers, and murderers. When law enforcement becomes effective and courts of law start offering effective justice, lynchings usually stop.
Don't tell me about "Minnesota Nice". You never were. It has been around for a long time, and it is likely to stick. It took years to develop -- far more years than it took for the Tea Party to get a near-majority consistently in America to now. Donald Trump is the clearest expression of the Tea Party agenda, and his politics are becoming an obnoxious and abject failure.
You do not represent even a transitory majority in Minnesota. The judicial system will catch up to people who left Target with large and expensive objects but lacking a sack or a receipt. The charges will be for burglary for entering a building without assumed permission and larceny for stealing stuff.Store cameras caught it all, and it will only be a matter of identification. Ideally even welfare is better than crime.
Blue America is better prepared for social change that results from the troublesome End of Scarcity. It does better in formal education and has stronger institutions. It recognizes Donald Trump for what he is -- a lying, cheating poseur.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
