Look at the 2020 riots, which caused $2 billion in damage across America. Democratic leaders didn’t condemn the destruction; they cheered it. Then Senator Kamala Harris raised funds for rioters’ bail, calling them “freedom fighters” in a tweet that garnered 1.5 million likes. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi described the Minneapolis unrest as “understandable,” dismissing looted businesses as “collateral damage.” This wasn’t a one off; it’s a pattern. In 2024, when protests in Portland turned violent, with 50 arrests and $1 million in property damage, Governor Tina Kotek called the perpetrators “activists seeking change,” refusing to deploy the National Guard. The media, a loyal arm of the Democratic machine, plays a pivotal role. Outlets like CNN and The New York Times downplay urban violence, framing looters as “desperate” and murderers as “products of systemic failure.” A 2023 CNN segment on Chicago’s homicide spike spent more time discussing “poverty’s role” than the 617 bodies in the morgue. The Washington Post ran a 2024 op ed titled “Reimagining Justice,” arguing that prison sentences “perpetuate harm,” even as recidivism rates hit 50 percent in Democratic strongholds. Hollywood, ever the Democratic mouthpiece, churns out propaganda like 2024’s “Justice Street,” a $150 million grossing film that romanticizes gang life while vilifying police. These narratives aren’t accidents, they’re a coordinated effort to make violence palatable, even admirable, to a public conditioned to accept it.
