Historically, power grabs usually tend to fail hard. I'm not as worried about the current Democrats seizing absolute power as I am about what unintended consequences are going to result from this batch of incompetents, conmen, demagogues, corporate shills, ivory tower dingbats, useful idiots, and well meaning fools trying to seize absolute power and failing to do so.

Been a busy weekend. None of this was very near me, but none of it was far away.

I will note that St Paul mayor Melvin Carter's mother is on the City Council, and has voted to defund police here. (Her husband, the retired career SPPD patrolman, is unavailable for comment)
One of the other anti- police council members, Mitra Jalali, was an aide and protege of former Congressman/National Democratic Committee chairman and current MN State Attorney General Keith Ellison.
Looks like a multi-year and deep effort to turn things their way.
I sure hope @okie john is correct in his predictions upthread.

I have spoken of Rev Tim Christopher before. He's one of the more effective vocal opponents to the current fashionable madness affecting the Twin Cities.
(He's also one of ours; very much a proponent of gun rights and responsibilities)
Skip to 12:10 to get to the political and social aspects.

And it looks like either a ruse, a false-flag, or some of the PNW circle-A folks have decided to come stir the pot in Minneapolis. If the latter, they're not even trying to hide it. Some of the interested civilian observers have seen this one out in Seattle, apparently.

At least its biffin' hot and uncomfortable out for the next few days.
