Billions of dollars from the massive spending bills of the last few years have gone to the organizations which fund and organize these riots and “protests”.

Our dear leaders have always known all about Lisa and her comrades. Any guesses why she and her bunch haven’t been arrested, tried, and imprisoned for treason?

She’s a World Class Troublemaker and rabble rouser, just like George Soros or Barack Obama.

Hmmmmm! ‘Rescue’ Lisa with a lasso from horseback and haul her to a safe location a mile away from danger?

“from the jump....” Why do people think that is cool to use these stupid vernacular phrases? Just say from the beginning.

The Right never gets past the grassroots groundswells.

This is part of the plaintive tone of the article. There's a reason why the Right doesn't emulate the Left. It's because the Left is inherently destructive while the Right is inherently constructive.

The Right can't and doesn't organize like the Left because the people on the Right have real jobs. And there are no sugar daddies on the Right who will pay people to destroy society.

It's good to understand the mindset of the left, as this article suggests; but it is also good to realize that the Left is using the liberties the Right has created and tries to sustain, in order to destroy its own benefactor.

The Left are Collectivists, whereas the Right tend to be Individualists. To the Left, Government is the be-all-end-all, to the Right, Government is a necessary evil.

Good article, but somewhat bypasses its key point.

When she was young and hungry, she started being trained in direct action. When she needed a better-paying job that used those skills, union organizing was available to join. She’s had opportunities to meaningfully collaborate with colleagues locally, across the country, and internationally. This is a career track that does not exist on the right, and the infrastructure in which it exists is key to leftist successes.

The reality is that people like Lisa depend upon the availability of a ready cash flow for whatever "organization" they dream up. These are either unions or leftist Foundations (such as Tides) that themselves depend upon the steady stream of lucre supplied by elitist billionaires.

This is why the right has such difficulty organizing on the same model.

Conflict concentrates police power. That redounds to the creditors of the government, who get their favors when the treasurers come begging. Constitutional conservatism suffers from the lack of faith the astro-buck class has in the liberty that provided their fabulous wealth. Usually (although less so today) by the time that wealth is accumulated, its progenitors are old. They worked a business usually demanding such focus that their children develop into resentful brats indoctrinated by elite leftist institutions. For said progeny, it's easier to game the system than to buil wealth. That's who runs these tax-exempt "charitable" foundations supplying the likes of Lisa Fithian.

The left is filled with people like Lisa Filthy Ann because the right has no time or patience for unemployable losers. The author is delusional if he thinks the right has the capacity or the interest in adopting these same tactics.

Where does she get her money? I would guess that George Soros shill organizations have her on the payroll, but I think it is likely that some of her money comes from CCP.

You get the neck and I'll get the rear, then we can hog tie her like the heifer she is.
