The Partisan Divide on Issues

So, how are they doing with the silent majority who have been watching as cops are being heavily criticized and labelled as racists, Democratic cities are being over run, Democratic punks/idiots are destroying public/private property that they view as racist and so forth. I will be delighted when you can no longer leach off us and you have to convince the urban liberals that your life matters just as much as the blacks lives that they mainly serve and seem to matter the most these days. You're going to find out that this isn't about race and it's really about class. You better start showing me common sense and you better start showing me class or your future in this country is going to be miserable. 

Polls right now are showing the public is on the side of justice rather than law and order now. They support black lives matter. Support for the president is falling because he represses peaceful protests with the military. The riots mostly ceased some days ago while peaceful protests continued and swayed the country to their side. If more riots happen because of more cop murders, it will reflect badly on Trump because he is the incumbent, much as it did on Johnson and Humphrey in 1968 because THEY were the incumbent. According to Lichtman, if riots continue it will not cause people to support Trump because he's for law and order, it will cause people to support Biden because the country is falling apart under Trump.

Whoever embraces Reaganomics is a fool. At least you understand what is in power these days. Lots of folks don't quite get it.

Quote:Did you know that seven counties were forced to live under curfews and  go without their stores while a bunch of idiots were going nuts and destroying a bunch of stuff and fucking up lives of people who nothing to do with what took place with George Floyd.....

It happened in my city too for a couple of days. The problem is that provacateurs took advantage of the protests to turn them into riots after dark. Many were white supremacists trying to discredit the protests and turn them into a race war. No doubt others were just looters taking advantage of the absence of police, and young guys just expressing their anger.

Quote:So, you'd rather have a senile old man doing whatever the liberals want, the world wants and doing whatever he's told by them to do during a crucial time as your president. Me, I'd prefer to keep Trump despite his personal shortcomings personality wise. The dude is an asshole but at least he's not going to screw the entire country.

That's exactly what he's been doing for 3 and a half years. BIG TIME. The dude is an asshole, and on top of that he's screwing up the entire country.
