What is behind recent pessimistic appraisals of democracy’s future, from Hillary Clinton, Adam Schiff, Brian Williams and other elite intellectuals, media personalities, and politicians on the Left? Some are warning about its possible erosion in 2024. Others predict democracy’s downturn as early 2022, with scary scenarios of “autocracy” and Trump “coups.”
To answer that question, understand first what is not behind these shrill forecasts.
Minneapolis Instacart driver DESTROYS elderly couple’s groceries over pro-police sign in their front yard and leaves message branding them ‘racist’ and saying ‘f*** the police’
A Minneapolis Instacart driver ran over an elderly couple’s groceries after seeing a pro-police sign in their front yard and wrote a crude message on a receipt branding them as ‘racist’ and saying ‘f*** the police.’
A 36-year-old driver from Coon Rapids, Minnesota, who only went by Tara on the app, reportedly ran over $50 worth of groceries in an angry fit over a sign the couple had in their driveway.
France’s interior minister is seeking to dissolve an “ultra right” group suspected of attacking anti-racism protesters who entered a campaign rally held by the far-right presidential candidate Éric Zemmour.
The Zouaves, who support Zemmour’s anti-immigration and anti-Islam ideology, are thought to be behind the brawl, which happened eight days ago.
Members from the anti-racial discrimination group SOS Racisme were set upon after they entered the rear of the venue to protest against Zemmour. The group said it had aimed to protest peacefully but five of its members were injured.
Anti-Racists? I think they mean the Antifas who attacked Eric Zemmour.
For the first time in the U.S., prosecutors are attempting to break up a network of alleged violent antifa cells.
This week, the San Diego County District Attorney’s office charged 11 alleged antifa members with felony conspiracy and felony assault charges, among other crimes, in a riot case where supporters of former President Donald Trump and random bystanders were beaten in Pacific Beach, California in January. Eight suspects were arraigned this week; they have all pleaded not guilty.

The far-Right firebrand hoping to become France’s next President was physically attacked at his first campaign rally in Paris today.
Eric Zemmour, 63, was placed in a headlock by an unidentified assailant as he walked through the crowd at the Zenith area in northern Paris on Sunday.
‘The attacker lunged out with his arms and pulled Mr Zemmour towards him after grabbing him around the neck,’ said an eye witness.

If you’re not familiar with David Takayoshi Suzuki, he’s a Canadian television presenter who focuses on climate change and other environmental issues. In fact, he’s frequently referred to as the “Godfather of the Canadian environmental movement.” He’s found himself in a bit of hot water, however, following a speech he gave at a rally held by the eco-terrorism group Extinction Rebellion.
This is a dangerous cocktail: missed socialization from lockdowns, falling suspension rates, demonizing police, praising looters, and encouraging activism.
Ask any public high school student: violent in-school fights are on the rise and discipline is on the decline. Just consider one public high school: Madison East in Madison, Wisconsin.
In late September, local media reported a series of “disturbing” cell phone videos depicting vicious fights and beatings occurring in class and on school grounds over the course of several days. Then, several hundred students walked out of school twice in one week protesting the school’s sexual harassment policies.
Thank you know, the thing God we have jackpuddings like Joy Reid of MSNBC and lickspittle Don Lemon to remind us that our nation is brimming with white supremacy; otherwise, we wouldn’t know. I personally can’t see any. What I have seen are well over 400 fake hate crimes. No racism? No problem! Fake it ’til you make it.
Sometimes a public backlash is exactly what’s needed to kick some common sense into our increasingly woke school boards.
Such is the case with the Toronto District School Board’s (TDSB) insane decisions not to allow students to attend book club events featuring Marie Henein, an outstanding criminal lawyer the board took issue with because of who she chose to defend, and Nadia Murad, a Nobel Prize-winning woman who had been a victim of ISIL, endured torments too ugly to speak, but managed to escape and now champions young women the world over.
The TDSB is run by morally degenerate radicals who should not be allowed near children.
The left lost control of their narrative of the “White supremacist” “active shooter” “murderer” Kyle Rittenhouse in the face of overwhelming factual evidence of self-defense. So leftists did what they do best (or worst): double down. Racism! White supremacy! No justice, no peace!
The right’s reaction to the left’s reaction to the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict ranges from ridicule to confusion. How can the left and MSNBC, CNN, and the New York Times — but I repeat myself — claim anti-black racism and white supremacy in a case in which all of the principals — aggressors, victims, shooters, shot, judge, jury, prosecutors, and defense attorneys — are white?
It’s time to tell the truth about the black racism, crime and terror that came to Waukesha.
“There’s Nothing More Frightening in America Today than an Angry White Man,” a CNN op-ed headline blared after the Rittenhouse verdict. And then Darrell Brooks, a black racist, career criminal, and convicted sex offender with two open felony cases, intentionally drove into the Waukesha Christmas Parade, leaving bloody children strewn like crumpled flowers.
Now that safe spaces and universal acceptance have become the norm, it is fashionable to tolerate all kinds of proclivities and inclinations in the name of diversity. But until recently, we respected the nebulous line that faintly dissects the parameters of what we consider to be good and evil. Not so today, where there is a growing campaign to destigmatise everything, even if doing so requires us to unpick the moral fabric of our society.
Nice pipelines you have there. Pity if something were to … happen to them. Thus spake St. David Suzuki, guardian of all that is good and nice in Canada, channeling the mafia.
An Illinois Democratic staffer brazenly mocked the Waukesha SUV tragedy that killed five and injured dozens in Wisconsin on Sunday, sarcastically equating the incident to Kyle Rittenhouse’s highly-publicized acquittal last week.
‘It was probably just self-defense,’ Mary Lemanski, 46, reportedly the social media director for the Democratic Party in DuPage County, wrote on Twitter Sunday night in the wake of the Wisconsin attack, in the first of a string of since-deleted, scornful posts.
‘Living in Wisconsin, he probably felt threatened,’ Lemanski continued in her late-night tirade, referring to the SUV driver in the Waukesha case.

Mark Richards, Kyle Rittenhouse’s criminal defense attorney, told Insider that he has received so many death threats that he was no longer using his own cellphone.
Richards said that he “can’t count” the number of death threats he’s received recently. “It’s too high,” he added.
The attorney has since taken to using his wife’s cellphone, which he used to speak to Insider, but added that her number has also been targeted by people making death threats.
