How do you run on pessimism and hate? The Dems truly hate the country and think we are the enemy, that's how.
Most stupid biggest lies and you know it. You Bots will try anything to protect your most corrupt leader in history. You never had it so good under the Obama/Biden era.
Congrats being the Winner of the daily Darwin Award.

"America was an idea, an idea," he said. "'We hold these truths to be self-evident.

For the sake of argument, let’s say Joe is right. (I don’t think so, but let’s just go with it for a second).

What specifically did Joe do during his 47 years in public office to change this?

What did he do during his 8 years as Vice President to change this?

He has a 47 year record of racist comments, and of legislating against minorities.

I don’t think he actually gives a crap about America, about minorities, about the Declaration of Independence. Joe cares about lining his pockets and apparently he will sell the country out to anyone and everyone willing to pay cash.

Frankly I'm tired of the Democratic party message that because I'm white I'm either ignorant of the fact that I am or that I openly know that I am.

Their message is the U.S.A is awash in racism which isn't true but the more they try to cram this down on me the more of a tendency is I might become.

If I am then point out solid facts how racism is alive and well ,how people of color are held back everyday from chasing their dream or being denied rights any other person has because I don't see it more than anything I see people holding themselves back from being better.

ROFL
Biden's code for "All white people must now hang their heads in shame, and I'll go along with the mob who tells us to."
Take a hike.

And if Trump wins and the rioting becomes even more destructive than it has been in recent months, what would prevent Trump from unleashing the military?

So, in short,I doubt there will be any civil war at all if Biden/Harris wins, and If Trump wins, I would think it would be brought to a very swift end
There won't be a civil war. 2nd to the bolded part. Why do people think soldiers are robots who do what they are told? They are people, they have thoughts, feelings and beliefs just like everyone else. They do not want to kill or harm fellow Americans, even those they disagree with.

As far as rioting they will do what they have to do with the least force necessary. Too many punks in this country think they can run rough shot on our cities and too many democrat politicians agree with them. Those punks are mostly young kids and a slap upside the head is enough to run them off back to mommy's basement.

All will be fine as long as those in charge have a spine.

I know this REALLY won't appeal to Trump voters, which is not who he's appealing to. It's to appeal to his own base especially those who may not be energized enough to vote.

To me, this is a very hopeful statement. We're not perfect, and the "idea of America" is a perfect standard, and we're still trying.

It's got appeal, to those he's appealing to. Those who think the term "all men are created equal" spoken in the US in 1776 is a slap in the face to the dignity of many who weren't treated equal. Like, you know, black people and women.
FYI, African Americans and women currently have all the exact same rights that I have.

WTF does that mean?

That sounds like dangerous revisionism to me.
More or less dangerous than the revisionism that has historically been taught? How do you know?

It does seem that they had stopped, for the most part. It seems as if the majority of them had stopped as a group, like they'd been told to stop, for now. But why did they stop? Perhaps Don Lemon had nailed the very reason why they had stopped..
Quote:
“But guess what? The rioting has to stop,” Lemon continued. “Chris, as you know and I know, it’s showing up in the polling. It’s showing up in focus groups. It is the only thing – it is the only thing right now that is sticking.”
https://nypost.com/2020/08/26/cnns-d...ts-nationwide/
The protests/riots were hurting the Dems in the polls. It's not the deaths that happened because of the protests/riots, or the destruction or even the attacks on the cops that the Dems care about ... it's the polls. Most likely the rioting protesters were told by someone on the left to stop, for now.

Biden, whose campaign donates money for the rioters bail, cannot even bring himself to utter the names 'antifa' or 'blm' when speaking about the rioting protesters. Kamala, who seems to have worked hard to raise bail money for the rioters, had basically told them to continue after the election...

"They’re not going to stop. This is a movement, I’m telling you, they’re not going to stop, and everyone beware because they’re not going to stop before Election Day in November, and they’re not going to stop after Election Day. And everyone should take note of that, on both levels, that they’re not going to let up, and they should not, and we should not." - Kamala Harris

"they’re not going to let up, and they should not"
Harris, and others, may try to make it appear that she was talking about the protesters and not the rioters, but if that was the case then she would have denounced the rioters in that statement. She did not. For the most part, where there are protesters there are rioters - same side of the same coin. Many of the protesters do seem to also be involved in the riots.

So, it probably won't matter who wins, the protests and riots will likely pick back up after the election. If Biden wins then the riots will be allowed to continue. If Trump wins then he'll try to stop them.

Do you really not know the answer to that question?

Well, we won't have to worry about that because Trump couldn't string three coherent words together if he tried.
