The Los Angeles riots exemplify the left’s ongoing approach to dissenting political policies—violence. Rioters are burning the city of Los Angeles to the ground, yet again, while Democrats clap and condemn the Trump Administration for causing the destruction.

Dozens of innocent people have been injured. The financial toll of these riots has not been realized but criminals used the unrest as an opportunity to clear out stores and businesses before burning them to the ground. “Mostly peaceful” protestors attacked LAPD headquarters and the US Courthouse. The Democrats will never miss an opportunity to condemn the events of January 6, but turn a blind eye when their voter base attacks government property. Most Republicans, including Trump, condemned the events of January 6 that do not even come close to what we are witnessing in LA.

The Democrats are actively encouraging riots by congratulating these criminals for “fighting back.” Kamala Harris released a statement to say that Donald Trump “provoked chaos” in “immigrant neighborhoods” by deploying the National Guard. The failed politician blamed the “Trump Administration’s cruel, calculated agenda to spread panic and division.” She then went on to directly applaud the rioters. “Protest is a powerful tool – essential in the fight for justice…I continue to support the millions of Americans who are standing up to protect our most fundamental rights and freedoms.”

The Constitution does not afford anyone the right to loot businesses or light cars on fire. These are outright violent uprisings that in no way resemble a protest. Most of the participants are looking for a way to steal and cause destruction. The immigration battle merely provided an excuse. Democrats know they cannot win this battle legally and are using their favorite tactic of instigation to rile up their minions to do their bidding.

Gavin Newsom lashed out when the National Guard prevented the full destruction of Los Angeles. How many cities have burned under his rule? Newsom accused Donald Trump of “manufacturing chaos” and “eroding public trust.” “Let’s clarify: 1) Local authorities did not require assistance. 2) Trump deployed troops regardless — to create chaos and violence. 3) Trump achieved that goal. 4) Now the situation is unstable, and we must bring in additional law enforcement to address the fallout from Trump’s actions,” the governor stated.

Newsom claimed that the National Guard takeover violated California state sovereignty. His state is already funding the criminals. The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles (CHIRLA) played a main role in mobilizing the “movement.” The state of California funds CHIRLA and provided the agency with $34 million in grants last fiscal year. Under the Biden Administration, CHIRLA received federal funding through the Department of Homeland Security. Trump revoked that funding in March and retracted over $100,000 in unused funds. Yet, the public is perplexed by the federal government cutting off funds to these NGOs.

Every single Democratic politician regurgitated the same lines to deflect all responsibility. Donald Trump is “rapidly steering this nation toward authoritarianism,” as Bernie Sanders put it. The far left will never stop their public relations mission to paint Trump as a dictator. Perhaps the federal government should permit the blue states to self-destruct. Taxpayers should not be forced to pay for cities to rebuild every time the Democrats encourage their minions to burn them to the ground. Akin to a child throwing a temper tantrum in their room, let blue states deal with the aftermath of their self-inflicted wounds.

Eric,
Trump’s crackdown on L.A. protests contrasts with his response to Jan. 6, 2021
That's another factor in the protests.

Trump proved that all the protesters have to do is wait for "their side" to take power, and then all is forgiven.

Pam Bondi wants to indict all of these protesters with federal charges? Oops, in comes the next administration with blanket pardons.

MAGA knows it, too, which is why just indicting them and sending them through our existing justice system isn't sufficient. They need to deny due process, deport them to a foreign gulag, and turn them into examples of what happens when you oppose the regime.

It's not going to turn out well for Trump or the MAGA cultists.

What goes around comes around goes around.
