Are the more moderate democrats ok with this far-left push by the extreme leftists in their party? Will they silently agree to go along with the ridiculous demands (which might cost them the election) or will they stand up to the far-left and be called "racists, traitors, and bigots" by their fellow Dems?

They are assuming their hired thugs will stop looting and chanting long enough to go down and vote. Judging from 2018 turnout, it's unlikely to happen.

I see a great exodus of affluence leaving the cities, with places like Wyoming and Idaho reversing years of decline.

Cheyenne anyone?

I believe this mass unrest is a huge gift to Trump. It wouldn't surprise me at all if China and Russia are funding the more radical protest elements to sow disharmony in the USA, not so much to help reelect Trump but to weaken the USA's ability to act militarily.

Absolutely, it's one of their favorite tools.

I was shocked, I had always been told America was a racist place. Wow.
America goes stupid out of it's way to be kind and tolerant.

I seriously don't think they are. And they are no longer represented because during the Obama years, all of them lost or were voted out by the extreme wing of the party.

Sadly, this is the most likely scenario, and the one that is being woefully ignored.

There are probably so many bags of cash being thrown around to left wing politicos, and media outlets right now. All of this is a carefully orchestrated coup, in slow motion.

I really think that they want to put the Federal Gov. in control of everything we do.

They are setting the country up for Biden to swoop in and be the Great White Hope that will guide us out of everything.. well at least the media will assure us that everything is going well..
Trump is the one with the desire to put the Federal Government in charge of law and order.
Most liberal states (hello Cape Cod Todd!) believe in tight local control of local services such as education, police and fire departments. I know because I served on the finance committee for years and years in a small Massachusetts town. We didn’t even trust county government let alone the state or Feds for those services to our little liberal town!
