In the American Minneapolis, residents voted against the dissolution of the police.

The initiative appeared about a year and a half ago: after George Floyd died under the knee of police officer Derek Chauvin, the country was shocked by protests and pogroms, the whole world knelt down, apologized for its "white guilt" to the place and out of place, and the hero of the occasion was buried in gold coffin.

For a while, the police seemed to become the most hated people in the country. Many officers in those days quit because they believed that the profession had lost all respect and it was simply impossible to continue working like that. Floyd, who, let me remind you, was detained dumbfounded while trying to buy a fake twenty burger, was turned into a national saint. Several monuments were opened to him, and at the scene of the murder (no kidding) some swindlers were engaged in healing. Chauvin was sentenced to 22 years in prison, despite the fact that he, of course, was just doing his job, and by the time of his arrest such a periodic table was floating in Floyd's blood that he could most likely die without outside interference.

The pinnacle of all this was to be an initiative to radically cut the police budget: the security forces in the city were to remain at a minimum, and a new independent oversight body was supposed to be established over them.

But any wave slows down one day.

The cops are not going anywhere - not from Minneapolis, not from other cities.

Now you can gloat, laugh at loud-voiced BLM activists and, for example, a black member of the Mineapolis City Council, Philip Cunningham, who now runs, pulls his hair and tells CNN that "what happened is an obvious setback in the development of the city."

But let's remember something else. 2016, Donald Trump becomes the 45th President of the United States. The country is in shock. TV presenters cry on air when the election results are announced. Young people promise to leave America - and some do. Trump appoints his chief strategist Steve Bannon, editor-in-chief of the radical conservative publication Breitbart, an anti-Islamist, conspiracy theorist and fighter against the "replacement of the white race." Kellianne Conway, who also advised Reagan and then actively participated in the impeachment of Clinton in the Lewinsky case, becomes the adviser to the head of state. The world froze: America is about to be fenced off with a wall, all foreigners will be expelled from it, an alliance with Russia is on the horizon - and then the end of the world toad. 

Everyone remembers how it ended: nothing. The wall is unfinished, there is no alliance with Russia (moreover, there are the most severe sanctions in history), Bannon and Conway left their posts six months after their appointment, the world toad remained where it was. 

Everything that happened four years after the election of Biden is actually a mirror of the same events, a symmetrical left reflection. SJW snowflakes were crying, Trump's rednecks were storming the Capitol - the difference is purely stylistic. At Sleepy Joe's inauguration, black poet Amanda Gorman read poems about how a happy democratic humanity "climbs the hill", the bearers of 666 genders celebrated victory, blue-haired boy girls were waiting for a brave new world without police and damned conservative farmers from "deep America", but with a crowd of cheerful migrants accompanied by ethnic dances and tolerant songs. And the issue with Russia, of course, will be decided finally and irrevocably.

But almost a year has passed - and everything, in general, remained as it was.

Withdrew troops from Afghanistan, but Trump started it.

Guantanamo is in place, the wall is slowly being built, with Russia everything is, if not better, then certainly no worse.

And now, it turns out, and the police will remain where they were.

Perhaps it's all about democracy.

The most radical initiatives always come from a few, but high-profile activists, while the majority never want drastic changes.

Perhaps (and even most likely), no changes were originally envisaged.

The Moor has done his job, the Moor is sleeping in a golden coffin.

Trump was not re-elected, Biden acted as a "peacemaker", all of Floyd's relatives became millionaires, the founder of the BLM movement bought real estate and simple-mindedly explained that this was all within the framework of raising the standard of living of blacks oppressed by whites - what else is needed? 

America is a very stable ship, and the brilliantly polished steering wheel, which is turned with fanfare by the captain elected by the sailors, in fact, has nothing to do with its rudders.
