Re-Tribalizing America
h/t Instapundit
...Donald Trump and Milo Yiannopoulos are provocateurs, no question. But they are proving something important about the militant left: that it is often racist against whites, and has no intention of allowing any opinions other than its own to be voiced in the public square. And whether in the streets or in a university lecture hall, it will use violence to impose its will.

...The center is not holding. The militant left is going to drive a lot of people towards the militant right. In the fall campaign, Trump is going to go full "Amnesty, Acid, and Abortion" -- and the emotional reaction that seeing video of violent Black Lives Matter activists and other Social Justice Warrior militants in action (which we will see, all throughout the fall, because they cannot help themselves, and not even media spin will be able to hide it) will frighten a lot of law-and-order people into voting for Trump.

#1 Great article.

Relatedly, Damon Linker, a pro-gay rights liberal, whacks Obama hard

Interesting turn of phrase I'd say.

#2 Bad news: It's hard to see how we're going to get past the two conventions and the election without some fairly serious street violence (above the ordinary, that it.)

Worse news: This could be the last presidential election conducted while the Second Amendment is more or less intact.

#3 Let them riot. Let them wave their Mexican flags. We had violence in the 1960s and the loonies lost. The Great Silent Majority saw the rioters and responded by electing Richard Nixon. Ah, those were the days...

#4 Trump should wave an American flag at his next campaign event.

#5 "We Donks do not truck with no mixin'
With Trunks on the stump! Git yer kicks in!
Run wild like a jackass!
We'll crack heads, and backsass...
And lose, like our grands did to Nixon."
