Never in the history of the country and probably any other country has so many people of his or hers own party endorse the opposition that they have almost no ideological similarity with. This number of people supporting the opposition in which they don't agree with is ONLY because their own party's leader is an existential threat to the Republic.

...and for those who may not know outside the states. NO ONE likes the police. Why? Because the police are an unofficial tax on the people. Cities have an illicit agreement with their police to generate revenue by writing tickets for any slight infraction. So, this whole 'Blue Lives Matter' support is bullshit. Its really about the police cracking down on any one who is deemed non conservative. There isn't a person, right or left wing that hasn't been pulled over by a police officer hoping to give them a ticket over something. None. The possible exceptions are very small towns where everyone knows each other. But generally speaking, no. The high way police especially. They are 100 percent about taking your money. They arent the ones coming in case you really do need the police for something...generally speaking. The police are backed by Republicans now ONLY because they are arresting people they oppose politically. The police generally are right wing in support but they still will write up anyone for a ticket. The police generally will back right wing militias in protests as well. Even in Democratic cities . But that same militia person is driving somewhere and that same cop sees some small infraction, they are getting a ticket. Some smart right wingers try to limit this by having a Blue Lives Matter bumper sticker. It may or may not work. Generally speaking though, people get nervous when any police car is driving near them. You might say, you get nervous in your own country as well so its not a unique feeling to Americans. But in America the feeling is far more worse because of their targeting of the population for revenue. I've driven in several countries. There are many stories of Thai police having their usual monthly ticket writing campaign. In America depending on who you are it can even be arrest over any mundane thing. Arrests make money too. you have to post bail, pay a fine, etc.

Gentlemen with a US passport supporting the very words of their current democratically elected President might probably also support this wise statement : "Well, we're going to have to see what happens. You know that. I've been complaining very strongly about the ballots. And the ballots are a disaster. ... We want to have -- get rid of the ballots and you'll have a very trans- -- we'll have a very peaceful -- there won't be a transfer, frankly; there'll be a continuation. The ballots are out of control. You know it." Gold luck to all of you, emigrating to North Korea might be a real improvement.
