I keep having these, er, 'original thoughts' but through a combination of idleness and distractions I never quite get around to expressing them - story of my life, I suppose. Anyway, for some time the impression has grown in me that if you are a white, middle-class, reasonably intelligent member of society who tends to the centre of what can be called traditional opinion - your end is fast approaching! Desperately trying to form square ready to defend the middle-ground it has dawned on me that we are surrounded. The loonies, the radicals from both ends of the political spectrum, the fanatics, the mouth-dribbling 'thickoes' who have to share their meagre supply of brain cells are closing in on us from all directions.
All of the above is a generalised description but thanks to Mr. David Cole at Taki's Mag we have a more specific analysis aimed at the state of American society today. His opening paragraphs set the scene:
In a season 3 episode of NYPD Blue, profoundly un-PC detective Andy Sipowicz (played by Dennis Franz) gives his son, a newly minted beat cop, a lesson in street patrol. Sipowicz points to a group of young black guys standing on a corner. He tells his son that the men, while not technically doing anything illegal, nevertheless have to be chased off, because a klatch like that can only mean trouble.
“Right now they own that corner,” Sipowicz says. “A good cop’s gonna take it back.”
And there, in that one scene, is an inadvertent depiction of what’s happening in America today. Leftists are Sipowicz, and they’ve decided that wherever and whenever “too many” whites gather, they gotta be run off. How many times do we see the media slam a movie, a TV show, an editorial board, a slate of candidates, or a roomful of people merely for being “too white”? It’s simply taken for granted that anything deemed “too white” is bad and in need of dispersal. It’s not that the actions of the whites who gather are necessarily wrong; the people are wrong. They’re wrong for being white and “owning” a corner.
"As any fule do no", what happens 'over there' soon ends up 'over here'. In fact examples of the ferocity of anti-white, anti-middle class, anti-middle of the road politics are manifold. Happily, at 80 years of age I am on my last few laps so, with a bit of luck and a following wind, I may dodge the bullets - and yes, that is an image I am happy to use!
"Sipowicz points to a group of young black guys standing on a corner." That according to the race industry would be called 'profiling'.
By the way, NYPD Blue was a good series to watch. It was rough at times. Kind of like a big city version of "Justified".

Actually, IMHO that view is one being promoted by the fake news media and parroted around the globe.
The reality is a tiny, minuscule, minority of so called liberals (aka Communists) promote this image with the full throated amplification of their useful idiots (aka MSM - main stream media for you across the pond) and the acolytes in Hollywood (extensive overlap).
The reality on the ground, outside of maybe 7 cities which have concentrated leftism imbued in their existence, is that a "silent constitutional majority" which most of us really are, even though tagged as "basket of deplorables" by a certain (thankfully) not president, will exhibit surprising levels of "resistance" to any such plan for converting this nation into das neue Venezuela.
We shall find out who lives in the real world and who is down the rabbit hole.
Again IMHO, DJT in a 45 state landslide is probable.

"DJT in a 45 state landslide is probable"
Blimey, Terrapod, that's a brave prediction. Given all sorts of horrid alternatives, I hope you're right!

I have to admit your own political choices, scrambled as they are with multiple small(ish) parties, still appear to be either "go totally left" or go sort of middle of the road.
Not sure I would classify Boris as "right wing" by any stretch, but he does appears to have the best interest of the populace in mind with Brexit. Corbin as PM would give me a cold sweat.
Who in their right mind would want unelected, unaccountable overlords in Brussels?
Oh! I may have answered my own query, the "right mind" bit.
We watch UK politics with equal fascination as I am sure, you observe ours (as filtered by the media). Funny that we get better U.S. news reporting from some UK tabloids and our own and Canadian pundits, than from U.S. press.

Terrapod, you might like to ask my son (aka SoD) that question!
