“If he doesn’t know anything about him, then this is about him taking advantage of a sore moment for the POTUS to attack the person he is jealous of.”
Trump’s enemies on the left and right are united in trying to get him to quit, destroy his reputation to prevent his re-election, or stop his agenda. The BS about racism is to stir up the blacks in the hope they will turn out for the 2018 and 2020 elections like they did for the Obustard. Its hard to believe anyone is sincerely worked up about some moldy old statues or a few KKK/nazi nuts.
I think you are right about the statues being a distraction but there was an article in the last week that really opened my eyes. Briefly, the author started off with the observation we always hear, “Why do they (the street activists) do that? Surely they know that behavior doesn’t win people over, doesn’t change minds.”
Of course they know that but that isn’t why they do it. It is their way of showing the world and especially their opposition just who has the power. It is spiking in the end zone. It is the Victory Lap. It is telling anyone who might have the audacity to stand up to them that they will get their ass kicked, their skull fracture if they are lucky and possibly even murdered with absolute impunity because the police and government are behind them.
This is exactly what I have been trying to point out, why I have been explaining it is so important that they be stopped. I have reached a few people but most just don’t get it.
