Democrats want to disrupt social order

Various government officials around the country have decided to release prisoners to protect them from the coronavirus. Obviously, social distancing and related strategies are impossible in prisons. However, the U.S. population has endured many sicknesses and epidemics over the years, without anyone demanding criminals' release.

The animosity toward basically law-abiding citizens requires an explanation. In socialist ideology, as experienced by the Nobel Prize winning writer, Alexander Solzhenitsyn, the criminal is a "socially friendly element." In the Gulag, the Russian prison camps where Solzhenitsyn, an engineer, spent 20 years for writing a letter with disparaging remarks about Josef Stalin, the criminals were treated better than the political prisoners.

The criminals endured shorter sentences than the others, 5 years for theft, battery, etc. Criminals help advance the Revolution by destabilizing society.

Middle-class people, on the other hand, tend to stabilize society and thwart Revolution. Middle class people belong in prison not criminals, according to this doctrine. That is what we see, today. It is no surprise that radical socialists (aka Democrats) have taken advantage of the virus epidemic to push forward their agenda of fundamentally transforming the social, legal and moral basis of our constitutional order.
