The Walkaway March was this past weekend, and consisted entirely in former Democrats who have become disillusioned by the viciousness, violence, and use and abuse of minority groups for nakedly political reason by their former party. Democrats are no longer Democrats, most seem to have concluded.. I’m sure it drew little media attention because of the shooting and attempted (was this a serious attempt?) bombings. This is a pity, since a similar march, if it drew a similar crowd of several thousand in rainy, dreery weather, would have certainly been national news, if they had been former Trump supporters.
And I will comment that a friend on Facebook predicted that “if the bombing and caravan do t work”, we will see the gold standard of s media diversion and opportunity for partisan grandstanding: the mass shooting.
And he was RIGHT. How is this possible? How is it both these people chose this EXACT MOMENT to do their insane and evil things?
Coincidence only goes so far to explain things. I am, rightly or wrongly, not buying that these things were not a part of someone’s plan. How all this works, how they “activate” people, I can’t pretend to know. This is a gut instinct, and certainly not derived rationally. I admit that. But gut instincts are, by actual scientific analysis, often the shortest path to truth.
