Is America going to try to keep the purge going for a full 12 months or are you going to wind it down now we're in 2021?

You know as much as I do...

However it does look like the goal and marketing is directed in creating at least some sort of civil war (coup). Any form of instability would seem to work towards that effort. Fortunately we still have the 2A to some degree so we still are able to exert some stability independent of what is going on with certain centralized authorities.

In other words... I think the pressure will keep going up. Its a hail mary at this point. Although it really depends on who is living in the white house next month.

Yes, when the murder rate is down, it tend to return to a normal level by going back up.

It's not that the murder rate is going up; it's that it's mainly climbing in the poor, black neighborhoods (at least in my area). Police departments are gun-shy (no pun intended) to be as active or even pro-active in these neighborhoods. It seems that they are letting this type of crime happen there and then moving in. There is not as much outreach or even action as they see things escalating. In the larger cities here, the politicians are keeping the police from doing anything but cleaning up afterwards.
