The 2020 Summer of Love caused multiple deaths, far more injuries, and $2 billion in property damage, mostly in blue cities. \u201cProtesters,\u201d actually leftist terrorists, knew better than to try that in a small\u2014red–town, as Jason Aldean eventually sang.\u00a0<\/p>

Flush with their success torching cities Democrat politicians wanted torched, a small group of Antifa dimwits took their street theater to the annual Sturgis, SD motorcycle rally. One of them was stupid enough to kick a parked motorcycle. While the police surrounded the Antifa terrorists and hustled them out of town, the terrified terrorists suddenly realized they were surrounded by thousands of bikers who would have been delighted to turn them into greasy spots on the pavement. They were equally suddenly fond of the police.\u00a0Fortunately for them, folks who travel to Sturgis for the Rally are very polite and support the police. Antifa has not attempted a repeat performance.<\/p>\n

However, at The New York Post,<\/em> Noah Rothman reports Democrats, who are absolutely not the party of violence\u2014ask them, they\u2019ll tell you\u2014appear to be planning \u201cSummer of Love II,\u201d which promises to be bigger and more destructive than the original.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

In a video message to constituents last week, Sen. Andy Kim agonized over the \u201cchaos in the streets that ICE has unleashed\u201d on the city of Newark, NJ. The Garden State Democrat pledged to \u201cdo everything I can to try to stop this chaos.\u201d<\/p>\n

What nonsense. If anything, the senator and his fellow Democrats have done everything in their power to inflame passions and drive\u00a0violent agitators\u00a0onto those very streets \u2014 putting the safety of civilians and law enforcement alike in jeopardy.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Classic Democrat projection. Accuse others of what you\u2019re doing. All Kim need do is keep the terrorists off the streets\u2014immediate arrests, rapid prosecutions, and long sentences would help–and ICE agents would go quietly about their business at the Delaney facility. No chaos, no injuries, no arrests.<\/p>\n

The drug-induced suicide of George Floyd was the excuse for the first SoL. Here\u2019s one for this summer:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a concentration camp, and they are disappearing people,\u201d said\u00a0one deranged union organizer\u00a0of the Newark-based Delaney Hall detention facility, where the Trump administration is housing immigration deportation targets. Absurd though that claim is, it mirrors assertions from Democratic lawmakers that the conditions in that facility are \u201cinhumane,\u201d even though they insist they\u2019ve been barred from witnessing them.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But Democrats have not been\u00a0denied access\u00a0to\u00a0the facility.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And in their more sincere moments,\u00a0they concede\u00a0that detainees mostly complain that \u201cthere is no movement\u201d of their cases through the courts. That\u2019s a far cry from the activists\u2019 allegations that detainees are being denied proper nutrition and medical care. But the capital \u201cC\u201d version of this conspiracy theory has proven sufficiently radicalizing.<\/p>

They have sincere moments? They do have these:<\/p>\n

Mounted police on horseback charged into the crowd, briefly dispersing the demonstration before it regrouped down the block. There, rioters set plywood, trash, tires, and plastic traffic drums alight.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As Acting Attorney General, Todd Blanche proved with some graphic photo evidence that officers were\u00a0beaten and even bitten\u00a0by the rioters.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve known for some time that leftist political violence is anything but a local, grassroots phenomenon. \u201cProtests\u201d like the Newark attack are manned by out-of-state professional terrorists, and are lavishly financed and organized by national NGOs and other private organizations and wealthy individuals. The DOJ has not yet gone after these insurrectionists, but it appears they\u2019re working on it. Rothman concludes:<\/p>\n

\n

The events unfolding on the streets of Newark today, and what may come next, will be hauntingly familiar to readers of \u201cBlood & Progress\u201d<\/em>\u00a0[Rothman\u2019s new book].\u00a0Democrats have made a fetish of violence, seeing in it an excessive but useful manifestation of political enthusiasm, even as they tell themselves the left doesn\u2019t have a violence problem.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In a broader sense, the SoL and a potential Sol II are the Cloward-Piven Strategy. Invented in 1966 by two radical academics, the basic idea is to create chaos, to so overwhelm existing, constitutional systems, that Americans will accept lunatic leftist \u201csolutions\u201d they would never consider under less chaotic conditions. Looting, rioting, assault, destruction of property, even murder and political assassination, are part of that\u00a0strategy, which we see all around us. Convince Americans the police can\u2019t or won\u2019t do their jobs, the courts are corrupt and failing, Congress won’t legislate, government is unwilling or unable to protect Normal Americans, and they just might go Democrat.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for them, and fortunately for Normal Americans, should Democrats go too far in going too far, Normal Americans won\u2019t go Democrat. They\u2019ll go Sturgis, only this time, without the police to protect them. The police will probably join in.<\/p>\n
