The BLM effect is wearing off.

Hasn’t shown up in the polling averages yet but I fully expect tightening.

NPR was saying today the "support BLM" in Wisconsin that was +25% (meaning 75% favored it, 25% didn't) in June is now back at +0%, or 50/50.

People are tired of this crap. I would think the number of deaths so far exceeds the number of illegal police deaths.

It’s not just the BLM stuff. I think there is also a COVID backlash. I have taken to stopping a couple times a week at an outdoor beer garden and in conversations with other patrons ALOT of people are thinking that much of this has been exaggerated at least a bit for political reasons and we’re pissed as hell. More than a few were self described former democrats.

Democrats tend to systematically overplay their hands politically, I suppose. The true believers live in social bubbles of their own careful creation, so it takes a while for the notion that people might disagree to seep in.

Pardon, I mean it takes a while for them to realize that reasonable people might disagree. Of course the notion that evil people disagree is the whole point of being a progressive to begin with. So it's always a given that the evil people disagree with them.

The country wants the rioters put down but when it comes to saying it out loud, people are still bowing to the progressive shame machinery.

I wonder how this is parsed by those who enjoy giggling at the absurdity of Trump running against the riots, i.e. running against a thing that is happening in the country while he's president. I suppose those people simply can't comprehend why anybody might consider Trump and the right in general the answer to the riots rather than the cause. It's like TDS has parasitically taken control of their minds and is causing their mouths to make TDS noises exclusively, rather than thoughtful human sounds.

@LuFins-Dad But to be clear, these are betting odds, not actual polls. (One might argue the former is a better gauge, lol)

So does this just imply a lot of people are betting on Trump to win, so the bookies are adjusting the odds to match?
Or maybe it implies that people with a gambling addiction are more likely to vote for Trump?
