Like the years of sowing, so is the harvest now.

It is infame to try cleaning this rioting off the table again by focussing on profane formalities like whether this still is protest or is a riot that has disconnected from the original triggering event. Where the underlaying intense energy that fuels both is coming from - that is what it is about.

And the great Führer, what does he do? Spills as much oil into the fire as much as he can, at every opportunity. For him, the fires cannot burn hot enough. They are the fundemant - the only fundament - of his power.

These events are not really surprising. Surpring only is that they had us waiting so long. America more and more rips apart, since many years. These gaps and trenches will never be bridged again. The U in USA can safely be deleted. Racism, social divide of ever growing proportions, brutal polarization done by both political parties but especially and explicitly dirty done by the Tea Party which has hollowed out the Republican party, a culture of violence and a strong fascination for it, existential threats from a financial system out of control, foreign influence fueling internal conflicts, more and more buying power and control power amassed in fewer and fewer hands, war on the middle class, the echoes of 2007/2008 still rolling - it all comes together, some factors lasting for years, some lasting for decades, some lasting for as long as America exists.

There will be Biden or there will be Trump. It does not matter. The basic constellations stay he same. The basic problems remain the same. The inner contradictions of this nation will not go away - they rather will intensify the contrasts.
