Remedial Citizenship

You’ve probably noticed an outdoor activity that’s increasingly popular in America now: chaos and criminality in areas that once seemed safe. Take care on sidewalks, even ones where the most common crime used to be littering. Drive cautiously, even on roads that were safely relied on by drivers with an important destination, say, a job or a medical appointment.

Now these areas can quickly become sites for performance of political rage. Mobs of wild-eyed people waving angry slogans might swarm your body or block your vehicle. Try to avoid conversation. Drive through at your own risk.

If you live in a city where Republicans are rare as a snowbird in hell, your chances of having noticed this problem are high. The woke folks who vote for the warm embrace of collectivism are always spoiling for a fight and love their street riots. And they’re still identified as idealistic “protestors” by sympathetic media.

Like the exotically dangerous life? Try San Francisco. Attempting to walk its streets now, you need to weave carefully around drug paraphernalia and (yuck) human paraphernalia. Experienced San Franciscans parking on a street roll down car windows and leave the glove compartment open, hoping to reduce the likelihood of street progressives bashing windows in search of anything they can find.
