Call me a pessimist but I don't see the violence ending just because Trump gets re-elected. My expectation is that the mob will become even more enraged and double down in their efforts because they didn't get their way. In other words TDS at Defcon 1. I think they actually want Trump to respond with force and if he gets re-elected, he may very well have to give them what they are asking for. So I can actually see voters choosing the path of appeasement in electing Biden.flyingpylon wrote: ↑Thu Jul 09, 2020 11:51 amThey won’t pick that option if they realize that’s what it is. But I’m not sure how many people realize it yet. Plenty of people are still just turned off by “mean tweets”.Libertarian666 wrote: ↑Thu Jul 09, 2020 11:14 amSo you are going for looting, rioting, and tearing down statues, because that's what you'll get with Democrats in charge.Cortopassi wrote: ↑Thu Jul 09, 2020 10:07 amSure....MangoMan wrote: ↑Thu Jul 09, 2020 6:42 am Trump has 91% chance of being reelected according to model that has correctly for 25 of the 27 elections since 1912, when primaries were introduced.
This is by no means a normal year, nor a normal primary season, nor a normal anything. You can find anyone with any opinion out there on anything.
In 2016 my vote for Trump was more about "anyone but Clinton"
In 2020 my vote will be for "anyone but Trump"
There were a lot of middle of the road people like me who gave Trump the win because of a strong dislike for Clinton (obviously in IL, it did not matter). Now after 4 years, my bet is those people swing the other way.
My opinion is that not many people will pick that option.
What really needs to happen, IMO, is for local voters to vote to take back their cities, not look for Donald Trump to save the day.
