I think the progressives are letting BLM run interference for them. True gaslighting. After they witnessed just how many people went along with the whole COVID19 fear mongering, it was easy to manipulate the same people about systemic racism. Defunding the police will only cause more chaos, which they want right now, and I sincerely believe they will push a “second wave” of Covid upon our nation to try and bring the economy to its absolute knees. Today, ANTIFA started pulling down statues of Catholic saints. If history repeats itself, they will start burning churches next. You will eventually end up with a state church that mandates what you think and believe - and I don’t believe for one second that it will have anything to do with any true religious beliefs. It will be a “new religion” of the left that we’ve seen them try to push for quite some time now. I’ve tried to stay positive about things, hoping our nation could pull through it, but when you hear other conservative voices also sounding the warning that this nation is close to being no more....it’s hard to not freak out. I am hearing the same from our conservative Pastors within the church. They are fully prepared to go to the gulag, and I’m not even kidding! It is frightening to think about, but I believe this insurrection actually has feet to make it a reality. :/
