   “who can explain the difference between trump supporters surrounding and harassing a Biden campaign bus in Texas and brown shirts harassing Jewish owned businesses and business owners in pre war Germany?”
   A more fitting question is, “Who wants to take the time to explain to Roberta Cross the difference? We are not talking parallel universes here. Like, whats the difference between your nose and your big toe?
   Life is too precious and short to waste the time explaining it to Ms. Cross. But, the great news is that all Biden campaign stops in Texas have been cancelled by his campaign team. Problem went away. It’s like it never happened.
   I must say I do like the idea of Trump car rallies. Seems kinda fun. Even seen some folks stick an American flag in the back of the pickup or family car and head out on a Sunday drive. It doesn’t even have to be organized. Just get word of a car rally drive somewhere and join the rolling thunder. And social distancing is adhered to. Kind of a fad that’s catching on. Honk and wave…what could be more neighborly that that?
   People are out there expressing themselves. Great to see. No hiding in the basement. You can always tell the bad guys. They are the ones flying American flags tootling down the road, have big grins and happy smiles on their faces, and for some unexplained reason, they obviously attract the best looking and articulate women of all ages. Never get tired of winning.
   Didn’t take much to scare Biden away. No more questions, the lid to the cone of silence has been lowered. That bus has a big basement.
   Now Trump is a different story. Right after Trump won the nomination and Hillary’s Convention was going on, I watched Trump give a speech (which drove the Libs nuts because of the unwritten protocol that you don’t campaign during the other party’s nomination). Anyway, Trump appearing breathing hard and out of breath, hair and tie a little messed up as he gave his first words. I definitely knew he was out of breath. What I did not know was the Jacobins had surrounded the front and sides of the building with a full blockage going on. Trump’s driver circled around back, Trump and his secret agent jumped out, climbed over some barbed wire farm fencing, raced across the field, and ran into the back, door opens, and Trump kept running straight to the podium. No wonder he was trying to catch his breath.
   Now, could you ever ever ever imagine Trump being deterred by some cars on a freeway? Ha! Hardly. Hurry up fellas, Joey Fingers is late for his nappy-pooh.

   Ms Cross: “Even though Biden has twice as much money to spend in battleground states the ‘smart with their money’ trump’s aren’t going to pony up a dime. ”
   You have to go back to Bush v. Kerry to see roughly equivalent spending.
   Since then, Team Blue spends about 2x as much as Republicans. (per opensecrets).
   Funny thing that Big Money follows Democrats, perhaps there’s a clue in all of that.
   All politicians are corrupt, but some are more corrupt than others. We are living in Animal Farm I’m afraid.

    In the long run, I’d say that the most likely result of the Left’s revolution and the death of the American nation (as opposed to ‘country’) will be competing autocracies. Will a movement based on freedom and merit be enough to counter the Blue Mob? or do you simply end up with a Red Mob? It’s early days yet and the crystal ball is cloudy.

All the forces of empire were arrayed in his support, as behind some sacred effigy of an obscure saint in a church processional, and yet all the voting public saw was a pitiful figure ranting at an audience of cars, an old dog barking pointlessly in a parking lot in the gathering darkness.
    And then there was Trump… one word, Trump… no honorifics, as the Woke Legions spoke of the hated POTUS… Trump, who violated all their norms, threatened their perqs, and disputed their laughable identitarian shibboleths of racism, sexism, misogyny, homophobia, Islamophobia… the Golden Golem of Greatness summoning the deplorably un-Woke in their ghastly red hats from the hills and hollows by the thousands to hear him speak of “rounding the corner” and watch him do that charming dance thing to the disco tunes of his boomer youth, and the sheer high spirits of it all worked to dispel the Woke curse cast upon him by the legions of angry suburban wiccans, till we arrived at the electoral reckoning of November 3 — and then the real contest began. …”

    ” Can you please expand on your vision of a “Red mob”, their membership and provenance.”
    It would surprise the heck out of me to see a Right Wing that goes down the path of the destruction of businesses, burning of government buildings, marching through neighborhoods threatening the hoi polloi. lol, can you imagine the uproar from Ms. Cross if anything like that existed?
    OTOH, it’s probably easier for the Right to organize if they detect a threat, real or imagined. They share stronger affinity than the Left’s loose coalition of special interest groups that want to squabble over the carcass of the Republic. Choosing a time of plague in order to tear down what was isn’t a stroke of genius, but it’s not a bad move.
    So, how do you build a Red Mob. Places like Portland and Seattle are showing that government, especially the suborned variety, is insufficient to keep the peace in some cases. You can see what has happened in other places where authority has lapsed. Rodney King riots, Hurricane Katrina, it’s quite natural to put together ad hoc militias if you want to keep your home unburnt and your family unmolested. Unlike the Left, these aren’t expansionary movements but can certainly be prone to violence if threatened. These are normal people responding to extraordinary circumstances.
    If it goes over some minimum level, it would be easy to see Lebanon-style mini-states as people become more irate. Naturally, how you look is as easy a way as any to sort humanity so the Left’s attempt to seize power by sorting everyone by race rather than class might result in an ugly affair.
    Frankly, I’m just assuming an autocracy going forward. Lacking a unifying culture, countries with the blessing of diversity always end up there. They can be tolerably moral (like Singapore) or not (like the Soviet Union), but the latter seems more normal than the former.

    scenes 943am – Good points. If we consider BLM and Antifa to be organized revolutionary organizations bent on fundamentally transforming our Republic, then I would not call them Blue Mobs. However, such organizations can support and launch Blue Mobs, which are a type of shock troops that gather and rampage in our cities. They may have other revolutionary units doing or preparing other work to bring down the US, units to which we have yet to be introduced.
    I would mirror those comments for the Right, save I’m not aware of any rightwing organizations that support large wholesale mobs rampaging concurrently through multiple cities. The best the Left can point to are the relatively mild opposition of a few independent and sparsely populated bands. The two sides don’t really compare. However, that does not mean that the Right cannot in short order form such an overarching organization that can summon, form, and support organized militia units. But, I can’t really see such a rightwing organization launching equivalent rioting, looting, and burning mobs as are and have always been common from the Left. Were they to attempt such mirrored operations, they would instantly lose their raison d’etre and widespread support.

    re D 144pm – What Stiglitz isn’t telling us (and D doesn’t understand) is that the only way the 2017 tax cut bill was going to pass Congress without a Democrat filibuster in the Senate (51R,49D) was with the proviso that the tax cut would be temporary. It was a Democrat demand that the Columbia sumbich is hiding from the light thinkers. Trump and Repubs took the deal so that it would kick economic growth out of doldrums (which it did), expecting to win in 2020 to make the cuts permanent. The Dems bet against that hoping that they would win and raise taxes even more. Now the Dems and their local lackeys are floating the narrative that it was all big plot by Repubs to enrich the rich. Their Big Lies and bullshit are never ending.
