Sad part is, there are people who will be perfectly happy-as long as the people they hate have it worse. I'm already seeing it. 😞 Or they'll blame it on the 'elite' and go an a rampage.

You’ve got to read this one…. Martial law, baby.  (go to whitehouse.gov website and you could read this executive order.)

This is such an overstep of the Federal government on individual state & local rights.  It’s an even bigger overstep of the Executive branch of government over the Legislative.

There’s a precedent for this: in the South, both during slavery and Jim Crow, poor rural white people had it very, very hard, but at least they knew they had the quality of whiteness going for them, and that made them feel that at least they weren’t the ones at the bottom of the pecking order, and that was a very important status for them to maintain.

I’m pretty sure one of the goals of the regime is to foment rebellion in the ranks of the police within large cities that are governed by mostly elected Democrats.

“If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.”

And that's why they will gladly pay higher prices and be thrilled to do so.
