Here's an analogy I've been thinking about to apply for understanding what happened in C'Ville and other places recently: fracking in places like Oklahoma, or even natural earth quakes, can make present and new fissures in the land wider and deeper and consequently, much more dangerous. The bigger the fissures and cracks they make, the more lethal. So I have to hand it to George Soros, as he has, with his diabolical genius for subversion, figured out, I think, the formula for radically amplifying psychological and moral fissures in the collective psyche of the American people. His brilliant strategy? Latch onto and financially supported alt left to attack alt right in a big way, using dupes and paid agitators to help eliminate US historical monuments and key cultural artifacts. Note what Pat Buchanan says:
To create a culture of tolerance, we must first eliminate all forms of hate speech. Every idea critical of our way of thinking must be condemned as: racist, homophobic, misogynist, etc.
We will gather in the streets and public squares of cities and towns across this country, at first many thousands declaring that this whole regime is illegitimate and that we will not stop until our single demand is met: This Nightmare Must End: the Trump/Pence Regime Must Go!
