I do think the riots and lawlessness in Democrat cities are going to help Trump win next November

It's likely the right do realize all of those things as a whole.

What we see here is a small subset of silly people that think an entire party acts as a homogeneous group.

Some folks have some very funny ideas.

Traditionally, the cliche is that the Right thinks the Left is well intended but naive, while the Left thinks the Right is evil.

I think that paradigm is shifting.

The Left have hitched their wagon to the protests and the rioting, violence and destruction.

The majority of the Left remains naive, as well as increasingly divisive.......but a growing number of them have graduated from being naive to evil.

Doesn't matter...We see predominately long controlled Democrat city's going up in flames with no attempt to get it fixed. We see the Dems fighting a Black man for meaningful police reform on the floor of the Senate. People will hold their noses and vote for Trump. They won't tell anyone or they will flat out lie, pollsters now or exit pollsters, won't get it right. Get ready for another 4 yrs of Mr. Trump as YOUR President!

You don't all have to act as a homogenous group to share the blame.

If you parrot the BLM narrative and support the ineffectual politicians in these cities that are letting the violence and destruction go on, then you are lending it your tacit support.

If you vote Democrat..... you're part of the problem even if you don't personally advocate the violence and destruction. Because the people you are voting for are supporting it by making excuses for it and refusing to stop it because they think it will hurt Trump's reelection chances.

This really is amazing, but then again this is the same group who can not admit the President actually asked the doctors if we could look at injecting disinfectants. Reality is not their strong suit, see the poll put up earlier. They still do not understand that it was not Democrats who were looting, it was looters who were looting.
