More Notes From A Competent Lawyer On X: I expect that polling over the next week will show that many voters have a negative view of what’s happening in Minneapolis, and that this will translate into slightly lower approval numbers among independent voters and soft Republicans. And they don’t like this chaos because they don’t like disorder. But disorder is exactly what the left is creating for this very reason. They want to create the impression that everything is out of control, even though it’s a few incidents in one city. It’s nothing like the equally fraudulent hoax that was the dead drug addict riots of 2020. It’s an effective tactic in the short term, but check the calendar. It’s January. The midterms are nearly a year away. If this continues, people are going to stop blaming the cops and start blaming the communist agitators. Remember, the cops surrendering is the easiest way to get (fake) order back since the radicals are implacable. But they’re going to tire of the radicals. They aren’t blind. They already ask forbidden questions, like “Why was that guy interfering with the cops in the first place?” Remember, what the communists are trying to do in the short term is ignore the big picture but micromanage the seconds around the violent incident. This is a lawyer's trial trick: the client did obnoxious things to get put in the situation he is suing over, so his lawyer attempts to remove the larger context. Here, it’s the dead commumists' wrongful conduct in that context that created the problem in the first placce. They want to make it so people are not supposed to ask why the faux martyr got in that situation. What they’re trying to do here is convince people to pick apart the incident frame by frame. The question shifts from why the person got into that position and becomes a question of why the defendant was not absolutely perfect in everything he did, as if he had the full benefit of hindsight and total knowledge of all the circumstances. It’s a setup to exonerate the leftist by obscuring the real cause of the problem. It’s also a distraction. When you’re doing that micro analysis, you’re not asking why the Minnesota leftists are protecting illegal alien criminals or covering for massive Somali fraud. Naturally, the predictable Fredocons and weakhearts are falling for it. It’s really pathetic – they fall for this every time. They want more than anything to be seen as reasonable and inoffensive. What they are is weak. But enough about Tom Tillis and Bill Cassidy. How does this play politically? Bad for us in the short term and irrelevant or even good for us in the long term. The fact is that there’s just one thing that’s really going to matter in November (barring a war), and that’s the economy. President Trump has to keep focusing on it. It’s already gotten good for folks who already have something. Look at the stock market. Now it needs to keep getting better for the rest and, more importantly, they have to feel it. We must create a vibe like back in the 80s, or even his first term pre-COVID, when people felt anything was possible. Yes, many people find it aesthetically displeasing to see cops beating up dirtbag agitators. I find it delightful, but I have testosterone. Yet the fact is that people won't vote on this. If the economy is pumping, they’re not going to choose to destroy their economic success by embracing a bunch of communist jerks who are protecting illegal alien child molesters and killers. What can you do? Not panic. Not play their game by micro-analyzing discrete events, and staying focused on the big picture, which is that the Democrats lost an election, so they’re trying to prevent democratically–enacted laws from being enforced through interference and violence. Stay strong. Don’t be weak and demand a retreat or a compromise. Hold fast to our position that every illegal alien must go, and that the corruption must be cleaned up.
