The ULTIMATE Revenge of the Thin Blue Line: 1968 Chicago DNC Redux That Wasn't in 2024

The other night I watched a dad coming from the protest with his little girl, giving a good hard few final snaps on the drum he was carrying, nodding at her in crisp salute, percussing his perspective into her little mind. This is not peaceful. -

Ridiculous John McWhorter a Professor at Columbia University doesn't like drums or dads!

After the Campus Protests this spring, McWhorter was writing about, and the over-the-top heavy-handed response from University Administrators and several Police Departments, Republicans and their Corporate Media allies geared up for the Ultimate MAGA reunion; Making The Chicago DNC 1968 Great Again.

And poof it fizzled and didn't happen...

I don't know who is more upset;  the Chicago (and Suburban Police held in reserve) hoping to descend on some protestors and club them like their grand daddies did, Republicans who were hoping to declare Democrat Crime and Democrat Jew-Haters or the Corporate Media who were giddy at the thought of protestors derailing the Harris/Walz freight train towards victory.

Ok! Honeymoons Over! We say it's over! Stop it!
Stop it right now! We in the Media say it's over!!!

The Corporate Media, Republicans, and Reactionaries in the Police wanted their very own Kent State, and their own 1968 DNC in 2024, so the Media could declare the Harris Honeymoon Over and now it's DEMS IN DISARRAY til Election Day and we need a Strongman like Dear Leader DonOld Trump to bring Order to this Nation.

Man you can see how much the Mainstream Press Corps and elite Journalists yearned for chaos and violence in Chicago.  It's dripping from the dozens of pieces they wrote and when it didn't materialize they were reduced to complaining their seats in the United Center were waaaaaaaaaaaay up in the 300 level and their free accommodations were so poor and the free dinner portions were so small!  

Fortunately, the Biden/Harris campaign team seems to have recognized the Corporate Media are not only not neutral, the Corporate Media is actively working for ugly weirdo Traitor Trump and the Republican Project 2025 Agenda.

But, besides the disappoint for the Republican Neo-Nazis, the other great outcome from the DNC 2024 Riots That Weren't was the utter inconsequential Dirtbag Left attack on the Democratic Party.  With the thought that Joe Biden would be accepting the nomination, the DNC and CeaseFire Now groups thought why would have up to 40,000 protestors making things miserable for "Genocide Joe" and the DNC; 

Then came Kamala Harris — and the protest fizzled.

Organizers anticipated there would be 30,000 to 40,000 protesters on hand for Monday’s kickoff. But only a few thousand showed up; police estimated 3,500.

“There were more reporters than protesters,” observed Bennett Weiss. He was there selling Gaza-related buttons, including one that, he said, describes himself: “Self-Ambivalent Jew Against Zionism.”

Instead, perhaps a few thousand showed up, and they were either non-entities or such idiots they made the Chicago Police look good in comparison!  This was a great success for the Chicago Police and showed what can happen with proper planning and training in Police Forces,

“Can we stop talking about 1968?” Chicago police Superintendent Larry Snelling asked at a news conference Friday. “2024 is the new standard, and the men and women of the Chicago Police Department set that new standard out in the field.” 

After their outside agitation failed, these groups demanded a speaking spot at the DNC which was rightly declined because why would anyone give the erstwhile Left a chance to derail the Triumphant Harris/Walz DNC?  

What a colossal failure by the erstwhile Left, I write erstwhile left because this is a group which voted for Trump in 2016, preemptively declared they would never support Joe Biden in 2020, and decided to rebrand on the fly from ABANDON BIDEN to ABANDON HARRIS because like a horseshoe many of those "leftists" hate the Democratic Party as much as Faux News and the rightwing propagandists like Charlie Kirk, Mike Pillow Lindell, and Jack Proboscis trying to desperately to get some soundbite from some Kefir wearing malcontent which they could use to label Doug Emhoff an "anti-Semite".  Instead, Mike Pillow Lindell was fighting with children and Jack Proboscis was reduced to crying don't say any naughty words during my disingenuous podcast!

Meanwhile, soon-to-be President Harris and Vice President Walz continue to take their message of Joy & Freedom, True Liberty & Real Patriotism directly to the American people and the Corporate Media are getting more and more desperate to blunt what looks to be a 21st century electoral blowout of the Dear Leader DonOld Trump.
