Most leftist commentators nearly choked having to announce the booming tock market, booming job creation, booming business growth and never was any of this success ascribed to Trumps policies. Suddenly because a global pandemic has decimated economys all over the world, the left want to be taken seriously as econmic analysts because they can point to the resultant major job losses in the US. I think not. By the way the term useful idiots is generally ascribed to socialist left wing acolytes who are controlled by their totalitarian betters. Your conflating your political history using that reference for TRump supporters or have you not studied Lenin and his communist manifesto.

Moderates will always lean towards law and order in times of social turmoil and Trump represents that. The riots are gaining Trump supporters, cos moderates (the ones who sway an election) can see how much of a disaster the country would be if the people who stand up for the rioters who are throwing bricks through windows, looting and setting fire to their community, were ever to get back into power. DNC are always about two plays behind where the real events are happening. They will have a hard time explaing to the residents of states, cities and neighbourhoods they the Dems have controlled as long as anyone can remmeber that they are the ones to fix any of the issues that have exploded right in front of them. No sign of major rioting in RED states. I guess the peacful protestors/rioters know that license to carry permit holders dont take kindly to having their property destroyed.

Missouri, Georgia, Ohio, North Carolina, Florida, Indianapolis, Kentucky, Tennessee and Texas are all hotspot areas with Republican governors.

Isn't that what A2 is all about? The right to bear arms is there, not to allow people to shoot deer with semi automatic weapons after all. Will you be out on the streets or is this the right type of federal force?

They have failed to protect and people have taken to the their streets to condemn the polices actions. Now the police cannot protect and serve against looters ect. They need to take a step back. Stop attacking those they swore to protect and serve.

Fall_Guy wrote: » The logic here is baffling. The swing voters who went trump over hillary last time will not look at this madness and think "oh trump is the man who will bring order". They will look at it and say "trump threw petrol on a fire by making inflammatory comments and threatening force on his citizens when the rioting started at the protests". Things have only gotten worse, not better, since his threats. As uninspiring a candidate as Biden is, his response to the events of the last week, will make him look a LOT more attractive to the "vote for who i hate the least" contingent that pretty much swung the election for trump last time. The logic about most of the unrest happening in traditionally democratic states is also baffling too.

Given that they tend to be the folks already shooting (or more commonly preparing to shoot, but the former has certainly happened this week) looters or random violent actors because of their objections to the practice of looting or randomly beating up people, I can't see them objecting particularly to the government use of force if that's necessary to stop the destruction and violence either. As for the second question, I have seen nothing to indicate I'm going to get involved. Even if I do, I currently assigned to drive a desk at a headquarters element, I'm unlikely to be out on the street.

During Johnsons term 63-69 we had major race riots ,albeit connected to the civil rights movement but violent protests none the less, from 63 in Birmingham AL, thru 64 NJ, 65 LA Watts riots, 66 Chicago, 67 NJ+NY to name but a few and culminating in the wide spread riots in 68 after MLKs assaination. America was in flames across over a hundred cities. 1969 Richard Nixon won in a LANDSLIDE ! When theres pandemonium on the streets, when the Democrats have come out on the side of violent rioters , I think middle of the road voters will turn to the candidate that represents law and order and not the party that represents everyone sharing the same bathroom.

What you are suggesting is that increasing race tensions, the inevitable explosion and subsequent put down by state bodies such as the police has, historically, been advantageous for GOP. Yet we are also supposed to believe that the GOP and Trump are the best party to run America?

Then there is footage of troops - National Guard - arriving at the White House. Both Barr and Trump are talking up more action, stronger responses and creating a sense of threat and panic from the top. Is this a deliberate attempt to foment civil war? Do they have any justification in their own minds for doing this? What is going on in their heads? Is it some sort of deliberate attempt to tear the country apart?
RIGOLO wrote: » Like I said its a win win for Trump. If he handles the riots well and they subside then he wins, If the riots continue for much longer and get closer to the DNC or GOP conventions then most certainly American middle of the road voters will lean towards Trump. I dont make the rules, but this is how the game is played. Once more the Democrats and main streamn media are fueling the fires that will get TRump elected. They have been race-baiting the populace for 4 years . They are the ones increaing race tensions and have done nothing to contain them . Come November voters will decide if they want Joe Biden who has come out and said the police were heavy handed in dealing with rioters, or vote for Trump who said the police need to get tougher with the rioters and protect property, livelihoods and jobs.
