There's another big difference. 2020 was an election year. That's a reason for them to NOT riot.
I have no idea what's going to happen. The likely outcome will be some rioting especially in big democrat cities, and the police will be ordered to stand down and do nothing.
The main argument AGAINST offshoring is that the offshore vendor becomes a competitor.
Example: You make a product in the USA for $10 and sell it for $20. You find an offshore vendor who will make it for $5. Great! Now you make it for $5 and sell it for $20. In 2 years, another offshore firm is selling a copy for $4.
When I hear "militia", I really think of patriots, not communist terrorists. "Militia" probably is the wrong word.
Antifa is really organized. They have a group of people going from city to city to riot, based on wherever some idiot got themselves killed by police. They have division of labor, bail funds, lawyer funds, DAs and politicians.
Radical footsoldiers operate best on feelings and emotions. Clinton just didn’t do it for them… One by one the traditional democrat left was wiped out by the more extreme radical leftists.
So basically, they didn't fraud the election for Clinton in 2016, because the extreme left was pissed off at her? That's an interesting take, they let Trump win to get revenge on Clinton.
If you're the type of person who stubbornly tells the truth, you won't have a long career as a journalist. There are more people who want to be journalists than there are available jobs, so they can be picky and only hire the best liars.
Really, when a crowd tries to "dearrest" someone like that, the policemen should be defending themselves with live ammunition.
If the police really were as evil as Antifa/BLM says, they wouldn't feel so comfortable resisting arrest, throwing things at them, and mob rushing them.
Once you make a party, with formal rules, and start having success, the rats will still join. Look at what happened to Ross Perot's party in 2000.
OK, you make a 3rd party and it's successful. What prevents all the RINOs from just joining your new party?
As a practical matter, defeating RINOs in primaries is a lot easier than starting a 3rd party.
Suppose there is a district that is 60% Republican and 40% Democrat. If you get 51% of the vote in the Republican primary, your candidate wins. (assuming the RINO you beat in the primary doesn't throw a tantrum and run as an independent and split the Republican vote)
Suppose you run as a 3rd party candidate, with 51% support from Republicans and 0% support from democrats. In the general election, the Democrat then wins with 40% of the vote. (with the vote being 40%/30.1%/29.9%)
If you start a 3rd party, you're just throwing elections to Democrats.
Instead of dressing in all-white (like the KKK), now the racists dress in all-black?
