Political insanity can be defined as refusing to admit the reality of destructive violence.


WSJ Opinion
By Daniel Henninger

How crazy does the violence have to get before it costs the Harris-Biden campaign the election? (Nomenclature update: On Monday, Kamala in public to something she called the “Harris administration.” In a speech the next day, Mr. Biden himself referred to “a Harris-Biden administration.” If that’s how they want it, fine by me. From now on, it’s “the Harris-Biden campaign.”)

For weeks, analysts have been pondering whether the “law and order” issue elevated by President Trump and the Republican convention could have a material effect on voting this fall. Generally, they have minimized the issue. But like the hurricanes rolling in from the Atlantic Ocean, the waves of urban violence have apparently become impossible to ignore.

A Monmouth poll out this week finds 65% of respondents say “maintaining law and order” is a big problem. The poll’s self-identified party affiliations are 28% Republican, 41% independent and 31% Democratic. Here’s the election’s ticking time-bomb: Among “non-Republican” blacks and other minorities, more than 60% agree that civil disorder has become a big issue, while just 46% of white non-Republicans see it as a problem. Looks like where one lives explains a lot about the Democratic worldview.

There’s more bad news at the wrong moment for Harris-Biden: Conclusive evidence has emerged that the American left is certifiably insane.

After the shooting this week of two cops in Compton, south of Los Angeles, a small contingent of anti-police protesters stood outside a hospital chanting, “We hope they die!” Mr. Biden tweeted criticism of both incidents as “unacceptable” and “entirely counterproductive.”

We don’t make the left-is-insane charge lightly.

Up to now, the conventional liberal/media/Democratic story line has been that “most” of the protesters are peacefully objecting to racism and police practices. But it has become impossible not to see something else that falls between carrying signs and looting stores.

It is common practice for these protesters, men and women, to stand inches from the faces of cops, especially black cops, screaming insults and personal obscenities with no letup. This behavior is a phenomenon worth thinking about.

It wasn’t long ago that everyone but the genuinely insane knew that if you did this to a cop, odds were you would be a) arrested and/or b) popped with a billy club.

But these protesters get up into the faces of the police, shrieking, because they know a) they will not be arrested, b) if they are arrested, they will be released quickly, and c) they will be released because the prosecutors in these cities probably won’t press charges. Instead, prosecutors are looking for reasons to cite the police for acts of violence.

This is new—a status quo in which there is no fear of the police by protesters or common street criminals. A line in the sand has been washed away.

This condition didn’t happen in the past 100 days. Democratic politics has been building toward precisely this redefinition of law and order for at least 20 years.

Embarrassed and perplexed by the decades long persistence of crime and incarceration in inner-city neighborhoods, progressive legal theorists proposed “decriminalization” as an alternative. They essentially redefined crime as something closer to a behavioral problem. And they blamed the police function for incarceration rates.

This argument appealed to many liberals (living in low-crime ZIP Codes) who have elected progressive prosecutors in Philadelphia, San Francisco, Chicago, Boston, Dallas, San Antonio, Seattle, Orlando, Fla., St. Louis, the New York City borough of Queens and elsewhere.

An important political document in this evolution was released in July—the Biden-Sanders Unity Task Force. Note that it appeared one month after the protests, looting and urban shootings began in May.

Under the Biden-Sanders heading “Protecting Communities by Reforming Our Criminal Justice System,” the words “felony,” “homicides” or “gangs” appear nowhere. It’s almost entirely about one thing—the police and reducing their role. “Shootings” appears once—in regard to “police shootings.”

Subsequent proposals on the official Biden campaign website overwhelmingly reflect these policies. The Democrats’ failure at their convention to mention the violence wasn’t just avoidance of an inconvenient reality. It was a conscious ideological choice. To restate a point made previously in this space: There will be no return to normal if Harris-Biden wins.

The political problem for Democrats and Joe Biden surfaced by the Monmouth poll is that the post-Floyd protests put the progressive urban policing model to an unexpected real-world test, which it has failed demonstrably and disastrously. It has led not to what President-in-the-wings Harris this summer described as “reimagining how we do public safety in America” but instead a virtual collapse of the police function.

The result is an abrupt spike in urban crime and mob-like political protesters exploiting official restraints on police. It’s a perfect, still-raging storm of progressive failure. Which now means Democratic failure.

So my argument: The Democratic left has turned certifiably insane, if one definition of irrational behavior is the refusal to recognize the damage being done, primarily to black and Hispanic neighborhoods, by catastrophic violence. Voters, it appears, have begun to notice.

The article has a point but I think he’s missing the mark on police reform.

What?

Chickens coming home to roost and everyone is surprised now?

Look across this nation at all of the once great cities that are graveyards, battlegrounds and look like warzones. All controlled by decades of DNC stranglehold. They had all the money. They had all the programs. They had all the promises. They lied and deceived. Americans are angry now and will gleefully follow a Marxist fueled BLM hissyfit into destruction. Hope and Change? Just words.

Watching the death of a political party still trying to ensnare what they can from the burning building is really sad commentary. The lies, the pandering and the media complicity in it all is something to behold. Not forward looking but doing what they've accused the GOP of...rich, old and white guys. The nomination of Biden is the single reason why I say "put a fork in it, its done". This isn't the best. This is a career politician with obvious dementia being managed to the hilt. He cannot even use a teleprompter. How in the **** is he going to manage that "call at 3 AM"? He can't even talk without some cringeworthy comment or inappropriate pandering.

The cities are burning and everyone knows why. The ones that can flee. I only hope they don't infect where they landed with the toxins they voted for where they fled.

There is a reason why I post "The DNC is a terrorist organization". They are. They cannot hide anymore. This was their doing. This was their plan. This is their percieved plantation. They're gasping for air while cities are burning. Fend for yourselves. They're not going to help you. They never were.

This is Progressivism's progress in full display, rioting, murderous, arsonist, looting Bolshevik Orcs out for blood.
For the Democratic Socialist politician to scold them or denounce them is like disowning your own flesh and blood. The pain of it all!
Gutless Biden even had the nerve, using projection to blame Trump for the violence, for fanning "the flames of hate"!

Use your own search engine.

Blocking a freeway is dangerous though.

Just Google Democrat run cities. That should give a more accurate reply as the question posed the other way would likely be censored by the overlords.

I’ll sign up for the Democrat Party newsletter and see what the riot orders are for tonight. Maybe they’ll go low key and just shoot a few cops in LA again.

POTUS says peeps who live in suburbs and Dem run places should be afraid...I live in a suburb with plenty of GOP voters, in a Dem majority state run by a Dem Gov....seems there are a lot of Trump peeps who aint afraid, seeing how many "Trump/Pence 2020" signs are posted...

no looting, rioting, burning buildings anywhere near...MACS, HD and Opel live in this state...they don't seem to be afraid to move around out in the open...(except for the fires)


but if the boss says you should be afraid...whatcha gonna do...
