re: The results of no consequences are being seen today.

Of course there are no consequences: these are allies of the left. The felon who shoots police is an ally of the left. The journalist who doesn't put all the facts he knows in his work product is an ally of the left. The professor who consciously indoctrinates your kids is an ally of the left.

You're not seeing "no consequences"... you are seeing the real intersectionality the left wants where criminals, brainwashed youth, and academia form the foundation of achieving their political goals.

The left always ranks real criminals above political "criminals". The real criminals are allies; the political "criminals" are the enemy. In the Soviet GULAG ordinary criminals ran barracks administration, got bunks closest to the stove, received more rations, were allowed to dictate jobs within their work group of Zeks, etc. Politicals were the lowest of the low and were subhuman where an ordinary criminal was a useful fellow traveler.

Lenin’s theories on crime and punishment shaped the
early Soviet penal system; he implemented policies which favored the common criminals and
repressed the political prisoners. He deemed that the criminals, as “social allies” of the working
class, were more likely to become good Soviet citizens than the political prisoners, considered
“counterrevolutionaries” and “enemies of the state.”

Now, it is here, in the US. We have a 7 yr. track record of it now in the open.
