Totally agree. In normal times all of the people would be arrested. I don’t get it. It’s just allowed to go on.

What makes you think these people vote, let alone Biden supporters?

In 2016, voter turnout was 55.5%.

Characteristics of those more likely to vote:

Education Attainment

Age 60+

Wealth

Female

I did not observe Biden spirit wear or signage or chants or anyone attempting to encourage people to register or vote.

The reaction to Geo Floyd’s death and all that followed created a Much needed lifeline for Trump.

Based on the video, it was over in 2 minutes.

We DK if anyone called the Police or if they responded after the group moved on.

Imagine many retail and food service businesses are developing protocols for how to react if/ when they become targets.

This same group also confronted diners at outdoor patios and one of them even drank their beer. They were in the area for quite some time causing chaos.

Most voters are not really buying the fear driven message cities are being burned to the ground by BLM. They drive around their cites and towns don't see any riots or even protesting. It's been mostly isolated locally in a few cities. IMO Trump isn't getting lot of traction his base goes wild over it same 30% can't really grow it.

I you live in one of the cities that has seen violence and destruction, it really does hit home. Being afraid to go into your downtown core due to the possibility of violence is not a good thing. Seeing the destruction first hand is heartbreaking. Knowing that you will be responsible via your taxes for cleaning things up is infuriating.

I’m an independent who has never ever voted for a Republican president but I don’t see any other alternative this time around. I can’t stand Trump but very likely will be voting for him after everything that has gone on over the last six months and the response (mostly non response) from our politicians.
