@George-K Wait until he finds out what Trump did to skirt his duty.

I fail to see how the President has anything to do with local and state law enforcement.

Yeah and who set the fires in Portland in DC?
Which you may counter with Jan 6 nonsense.
My point is it's ridiculous at this point to attribute the nation's growing radicalism to Trump. We've been marching farther down this road for over a decade.

It’s just, well, weird to warn of the dark days of 2020 if we don’t elect Trump. We had Trump and that happened.
Later we had Biden and Harris and it didn’t happen (yet - maybe in Chicago in two weeks).

I don’t think he is the right choice for the ticket. Shapiro is more moderate and would have pulled the more crucial swing state, Pennsylvania.
This choice will probably cost Harris the election.
Walz will help with Michigan, but I generally think that you are correct.
Ah yes, Michigan. I had forgotten. Will have to wait and see how it all unfolds. Right now we’re seeing no time being be lost on the deployment of SwIftboats. Am sure that with Walz’s past drunk driving charge the spectre of a Chappaquidick or some such will also emerge. Am sure there’s dirt from his years as a teacher and football coach that will also be dug or dredged up.
A whole new series of Dallas is about to be aired.

Agree, weird argument.

Because the nutters, the Portland contingent of which, turned their city into fucking Gangland, thought they won the election, not because of anything constructive Biden or Kamala did. It's all bottom-up, not top-down.

You have forgot the extent to which Trump’s mere presence radicalizes people.

It would fall on deaf ears and he'd be written off as an orange game show host if they hadn't already been simmering for about 5-10 years prior.
Or more accurately, if radicalization wasn't in vogue then Trump would try different levers to pull.
This isn't a politics thing. Anyone who has ever paid attention to the last decade's worth of movies, corporate restructuring, mainstream commercials, government contracting rules, music promotions, public school activities etc. can see that.
Please love yourself.

There are reasons you are seeing this happen in the UK and elsewhere. The polarization across the west is quite stark.
And @jon-nyc the Floyd riots were only the latest and the worst, particularly bad because of the lockdowns and pandemic stress/fears.
The recent Pro-Palestinian protests in DC we’re as bad as anything we saw during Floyd (in DC), and weren’t as bad as the anti-Trump riots in January 17. But let’s not forget Baltimore 2015, Ferguson in 2014, Trayvon Martin and more.
And it doesn’t have to be about Race. Occupy Wall Street wasn’t as violent, but set the stage for a lot of what’s come since.

True enough but Race is what puts the sizzle in the rabble’s flambé.
