It's all Trump's fault.
There is a reason the people are looking to the Democrats to change the violence and racism of the police. Changing the culture is not easy. The mass protests are necessary if you are going to get a cultural reboot.
Trump? It is not directly his fault. He did encourage racism for his personal gain. He did change the atmosphere to encourage the open display of racism. It might have effected things but there is no direct link. It is not acceptable to a lot of people. I assume you watch the news?
More of a concern is that he would rather intensify the violence than listen to the people. That is more an after the event reaction. I believe it will hurt him in November.
You know, I believe the resurgence of racism and its open display was in answer to Obama. Trump was one enabling factor. On the other hand, the current wave of protests is a response to the resurgence of racism. You go to one extreme and you swing to the other…. Then you swing back and then some.
The racist resurgence went against the arrow of progress. In particular, it goes against equality. In the long run, I anticipated that equality would continue long term gains. I confess, I didn’t anticipate the American push for all men being equal under law coming this hard and this soon. Still, there it is.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
