Riots-A-Slippery-Slope-Bob Davis Podcast 951
Riots Are A Slippery Slope
First of all protests and riots have everyone talking though they are a slippery slope. Cooking dinner and sitting on the deck seems to be a great venue to talk about it. Learn more in Riots-A-Slippery-Slope-Bob Davis Podcast 951.
Civil War Talk Just As Dangerous
Second I don’t like using the term ‘civil war’ in the same context, but some very foolish people are.
Real Talk
In the same vein it’s time for some real talk about what’s going on and what it might mean.
Recent Content Rich Podcasts
Moreover I’ve done some pretty content rich podcasts lately about political realignment and presidential polls. It’s also time for a more relaxed conversation about serious subjects.
I Never Know
On the other hand when I do more relaxed podcasts I never know what I’m going to talk about.
Buzzing On Social Media
Specifically what kicked off this talk are people buzzing about ‘civil war’ on social media.
Dangerous Talk
Most importantly I think this is very dangerous talk, even for so called analysts and commentators. We’ll get into it in Riots-A-Slippery-Slope-Bob Davis Podcast 951.
How The Draft Riots Ended
In addition I use an example from history about the New York City Draft Riots, as depicted in the movie The Gangs Of New York.
It Wasn’t Pretty
To clarify the book, “The Gangs Of New York” was written by Herbert Asbury. A part of the book focuses on the Federal Government’s response to complete anarchy in New York City during these riots, at the height of the Civil War. It wasn’t pretty.
A Lot Of Silly Talk
Above all we don’t need a lot of silly inflammatory talk right now. No matter where it comes from.
Yeah It Could Get A Lot Worse
Finally many of us find ourselves thinking about how tough things are right now. Certainly we can all agree that an actual civil war would make things a lot worse. Like, you can’t imagine how much worse.
Cavalcade Of Idiots
Can we please stop using that term to describe street violence and cavalcade of idiots on both sides responding to it.
Delusional America
In conclusion I have certainly talked about a delusional America. The fact that we’re on the cusp of a change in epoch. I don’t think any of us can say with any degree of confidence where we’ll be in five years.
Meanwhile life goes on.
