You didn't expect the riot's either, and in your speed to condemn them as bastions of terrorism or Obamaism or whatever you're grabbing on to here, the forces of the whip failed. I'll admit this of Trump - him or his advisors got the message in Portland. You'd better go in hot and hard because if you don't get control of it the bastions of class control will be given a moral advantage in punishing the real electorate.
Actually, I kind of did. I've had that long standing refrain of "When the left doesn't get what it wants, it riots." Which does have a corollary to work with: "When leftist activists think rioting will further their agenda, they'll do so."
Much like the Bundy family demonstrates the right-wing version, only without the rioting. (But sometimes with property destruction--Oregon)
Myself and others have been watching the
left-wing (and white nationalist) push towards race war with class warfare elements present. That pretty much looks exactly like what the BLM protests are doing.
The poor section doesn't vote and they never have. And, honored conservatives, please. Do you actually think in any universe a majority of these people who have seen the trickle down economics or austerity or whatever your latest excuse is, payments given in full in *corporate* welfare whilst normal people struggle to get along, in what universe would a fully informed electorate actually take your side?
The poor
do vote in rural areas, and they vote Republican out there. The GOP does seem to love its Coroporate Welfare, but so does the DNC, so it's a distinction without a difference.
Conservatives hate the corporate welfare.The informed electorate in rural and suburban American is going to support private property,
because they have private property to protect. The Conservatives and ostensibly the GOP stands for Private Property. While the Democratic Party will stand back and wring their hands while private property is being destroyed and wax eloquent about how rioting is a form of expression, and it needs to be "understood" and nothing else of note should be done to stop it.
The only thing you have. The only thing you ever did have. Was to rig the information and the polls. The same way Republicans continue in every election to reduce voting locations for Dems. Or poor people. Or minorities. Whoever may vote for those as hole libs. And the BS about mail in voting is the latest. Trump and McEnany both voted via mail, as did many others, and if they're getting scared now they should probably be introduced to the idea of projection. Given what R''s have done in regards to civil rights voting actions I'm really not surprised they'd got so held up when someone suggests we make it easier for the common person to vote.
Absentee voting, where a ballot has to be requested, is not the same thing as a wholesale, abrupt, and unplanned transition to 100% mail in voting by sending out ballots to every registered voter in the state, even the ones who have been dead for years, or moved out of state without de-registering. Isn't it a bit odd that the Democrats are the ones pushing for the open invitations for voter fraud?
If they wanted to mandate the removal of restrictions on absentee voting, I can get behind that. But that isn't what they did.
