I&#8217;ll try to catch it later today.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if we&#8217;re judging by the headline?  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As I noted last week, people are projecting their views of the rest of American on this trial -and while I pointed out that all &#8220;sides&#8221; were doing it, let&#8217;s be honest; it&#8217;s the left that&#8217;s making it into a cottage industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two observations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pick Your Poison<\/strong>:   If you thought Januarhy 6 was an epic assault on America, but don&#8217;t see the attempt to bully and intimidate jurors &#8211; the backbone of our justice system, as imperfect is it and they are &#8211; as something every bit as serious, you are an idiot.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Allow me to say it to your face. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Literally, if need be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rules for Radicals<\/strong>:  And of course, chaos benefits the extremes &#8211; of both sides. Especially the extreme that has a plan and the political and social &#8220;infrastructure&#8221; to capitalize on and exploit the chaos .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1933, the German Communists <em>supported <\/em>President Von Hindsenburg giving Chancellor HItler &#8211; the leader of the <em>Reichstag&#8217;s <\/em>(Parliament&#8217;s) largest party, the Nazis &#8211; near compete control under an emergency powers decree.  The  Communists &#8211; with their direct action arm, <em>Rote Fahne<\/em>, which later became &#8220;Anti&#8221;-Fa &#8211; figured they had the political will and street power to capitalize on the chaos they saw ensuing .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They bet wrong.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Big Left, today, isn&#8217;t betting wrong.  While &#8220;Red&#8221; America is proud of its traditions, and owns a hell of a lot of guns,there is no organization on the right that is waiting in any significant numbers, with a plan and people with their own willl to power, least of all a will to power that leads back to a Constitutional Republic.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The riot on January 6, stupid and illegal as it was, was never in any real position to alter the Constitutionally-mandated process.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bullying the justice system?   That most certainly is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;ll allow for a moment that &#8216;Medium.com&#8221;, when the subject is race, criminal\/social &#8220;justice&#8221; or the economy, is like Tumblr for people with unsupportably high self-esteem .
