Every former Democrat like me who has chosen to #WALKAWAY always experiences deja vu when they see others finally noticing and objecting to the way Democrats have become so unhinged that they’ve turned every aspect of life into a political battlefield. And they want everyone who disagrees with them destroyed, personally and professionally.
Various hardcore anti-Trump reporters have shown integrity by objecting to the crazed, rabid propaganda that their colleagues have been churning out, especially following the riots over George Floyd’s death. The police behavior involved in that death was so blatantly out of line that for a few brief moments the nation was united in sadness and outrage.
A nation united is something that Democrats can not stand to see, and even though the Minneapolis officers involved were quickly fired and/or facing charges the Democrats and their media outlets rapidly transformed the situation into hate-filled riots and looting that raged for days.
The Tom Cotton op-ed at the New York Times and what followed erupted into what some journalists have called “civil wars” in newsrooms across the country between rational reporters and their unhinged colleagues. Links are below, but first some excerpts from journalists whose anti-Trump credentials cannot be questioned.
First up, female journalist Bari Weiss:

The civil war inside The New York Times between the (mostly young) wokes the (mostly 40+) liberals is the same one raging inside other publications and companies across the country. The dynamic is always the same. (Thread.)
The Old Guard lives by a set of principles we can broadly call civil libertarianism. They assumed they shared that worldview with the young people they hired who called themselves liberals and progressives. But it was an incorrect assumption.
The New Guard has a different worldview, one articulated best by @JonHaidt and @glukianoff. They call it “safetyism,” in which the right of people to feel emotionally and psychologically safe trumps what were previously considered core liberal values, like free speech … there are dozens and dozens of examples.
I’ve been mocked by many people over the past few years for writing about the campus culture wars. They told me it was a sideshow. But this was always why it mattered: The people who graduated from those campuses would rise to power inside key institutions and transform them. (NOTE FROM BALLADEER: LINK TO MY PIECES ABOUT THAT SITUATION HERE )
I’m in no way surprised by what has now exploded into public view. In a way, it’s oddly comforting: I feel less alone and less crazy trying to explain the dynamic to people. What I am shocked by is the speed. I thought it would take a few years, not a few weeks.

The NYT and other media institutions are being held hostage by millennials whose belief system includes such precepts as, “Publishing something I disagree with physically endangers me.” They use bizarre emotional manipulation tactics to assert their dominance. And they’re winning.

SIX-GUN CAESAR 
PART FORTY-FIVE – Of interest to me in the March of 1911 issue of James Larkin Pearson’s version of the Fool Killer: 
Even Shaun King, whose hatred of de facto Third Party President Donald Trump is well-known, has noticed that – like in Minneapolis – it’s always Democrat-run areas which have the worst examples of police misconduct and brutality. WE NEED THIRD PARTIES!
Democrat politicians kept the officer in the George Floyd tragedy instated despite his past behavior. And as always Democrats blame the rest of us and tell us to hang our heads in shame for

AIRMALE 
Powers: Airmale was lighter than air and could fly at high speed. He could also simply walk or stand on air when he desired. The hero devised a gravity belt to regulate the pull of gravity on his body so that he could walk around just fine in his civilian identity. Airmale excelled at unarmed combat. 
DOCTOR FROST 
Powers: Doctor Frost was immune to extreme cold and could shoot cold rays from his hands to freeze opponents or objects. He could also create ice constructs like bridges across water or the air and could wrap himself in layers of ice thick enough to survive explosions. This hero was reasonably good at unarmed combat. 
It’s been two years since openly gay Brandon Straka launched #WALKAWAY for all of us former Democrats who have grown disgusted with the party’s increasing fascism, intolerance and violence. The #WALKAWAY YT channel is still the site to check out for testimonials from so many of us about why we left the Democrats to become Independent Voters. 
Especially nauseating is the way Democrats always blame their failures on the nation as a whole. Recently we were all appalled by the actions of a Minnesota policeman whose Union donates heavily to Democrat politicians. As in the same Democrat politicians who kept the officer instated despite his past history of behavior. But hey, the Democrats and their media outlets are pushing the blame on to the nation as a whole. WE NEED THIRD PARTIES.
Well, plenty, but when it DOES you can bet Democrats will blame it on the rest of us and call for even more power to be concentrated in their hands. Or else we’ll be victimized by more rioting. And so it goes. 
George Floyd’s own family members have called for the rioting to stop, and if you’re one of the leftist demagogues coyly pretending you don’t understand the difference between protests and riots, you’re either lying or an imbecile. Yes, George Floyd was wronged, but the perpetrators are facing punishment. Pathetic worms like the privileged white children of Antifa (KLAN-tifa) are hiding behind George Floyd’s name to inflict this pitiless series of Kristallnachts on the U.S. 
Hundreds of thousands of innocent people are having their lives and futures destroyed and are being made to suffer so that Democrats can enact political theater across the country.
