I’m proud of my wife, for many reasons, but when it comes to politics it’s when she saw firsthand and on the news how the police reacted to these protests that she realized the rules don’t matter. She asked me, “Why are they doing this?!” and I replied, “Because they can.” She immediately got it. Libs are playing chess and the person across from them has a loaded gun. The other person says, “All the pieces on my side can act like the queen, but all your pieces have to be like pawns.” The lib cries out that not only is that unfair, but it’s against the rules! The other person shows their gun and the libs quietly concede and hope that maybe they’ll still win if they play by these new rules and are a little more cunning. The right, and capital, don’t have to be smart or cunning, they just need a monopoly on physical violence and the lawmakers. Something can be against the law, but the law is just words on paper, and those words can always be rewritten.
