Widespread lawlessness.

I'm in Seattle metro for a few days. All that's on the local news is crime. Far more than usual. It's a mess and institutions seem powerless to fix it.

I wonder if anyone agrees with me that loser 45 is responsible for this - for creating an ecosystem where rule of law and accountability are meaningless. All that matters is what you can grift for yourself.

Sometimes humans seem to me an experiment gone wrong.

2. Maybe, but localities bare the brunt of responsibility & policy.

You can primarily blame the malefactors, enforcement and deterrence.

When bad actors get away with stuff, they'll pick up their pace.

Complete anarchy and chaos.

Oh, and it's gonna be 90 degrees at Super Bowl in LA in February.

5. Anarchy is the goal, remember the Trump Inaugural Address

The “American Carnage” speech. And then the I alone can fix it line. The right needs anarchy to prove that their authoritarian views are the only solution.

6. That may be the hope but actual criminals don't likely have any political goals.

Sorry, but I have almost no tolerance or sympathy for thieves or violent criminals. They need to have some serious deterrent ramifications to their crimes.
