The reason for the protests and riots that are happening right now, is for reasons that are way more similar to why the BLM protests and riots happened than either side is willing to admit.
At the core of these riots, at the core of why they voted for Trump in the first place, is frustration and fear over what they see around them: lost jobs, low wages, the cost of living skyrocketing out of control.
Simply put: people who are happy and comfortable don't riot.

The problem is that they're misplacing their anger and rage. This isn't about left vs. right, Republican vs. Democrat, White vs. Black.
It's about the people vs. a relative handful of incredibly powerful politicians and cronies (including Trump and Biden) who rob us every day.

They rob us of our money, but they also rob us of our opportunities, of our livelihoods, of our future. As we've seen many times, sometimes they rob us of our lives.
Their actions fill us with rage, and they redirect our rage towards each other.

Remember in the 2000s when Occupy (anti big business) & the Tea Party (anti big govt) were fighting each other while big govt handed trillions of dollars to big business, created regulations to turn them into monopolies, and laughed at the rest of us?
That's happening right now.
That's happening right now.
We just got yet another "stimulus" bill where we got $600, crony corporations & big government agencies got trillions, & we got stuck with the bill for it, with interest.
This was passed in a broad bipartisan agreement. Pelosi, Harris, McConnell and Trump all had a part in it.

Republicrats want us divided. They want us to hate each other.
They want us to riot so they can use it as an excuse to pass even more authoritarian "tough on crime" measures. Can you imagine what Biden and Congress are going to do after this fiasco?

The thing is, it doesn't have to be this way. It never did.
We don't have to live with a system that wasn't built for us, but relies on us to keep going.
We don't have to be struggling to make ends meet.
We don't have to beg for crumbs from the bread that was stolen from us.

There is only one way to fix this:
Recognize that this is all a scam, that Rs & Ds are in on it together.
Never vote for them again.
Replace them with people who will dismantle their thieving, murderous system.
Don't hate your neighbor, work with them to fix this for good.
