Is a backlash coming?
Vanity | July 2, 2020 | Bort

Posted on 07/02/2020 6:57:26 AM PDT by bort

So I was at my gym this morning in central Maryland. I'm chatting with this guy who asks me if I was on last night's conference call with the alumni from the local (and very expensive) private school (I am a public school person). I live in an affluent suburb that used to vote 3 to 1 Republican, but now is more like 50-50 as the younger, affluent whites trend towards socialism. Anyway, this guy (and others on the call) was irate because the handful of black alumni from this school were on the call, calling for the headmaster's resignation, claiming the school was racist, etc....

Thanks for posting that video. This happened before I was born. I had no idea. Very interesting.

There is definitely a backlash where I live.
Two of my nephews have become very vocal on Facebook about the riots and the antics of the Democrats. Both are working class in their late thirties, early forties.
They are fed up, and I am in awe of their courageous stands. They are speaking for almost everybody I know.

The backlash is seen in the rise in gun sales and will reach it’s peak on election night. The BLM has lost all credibility and sympathy from Americans.

Election night is the only night that matters. If we can have a Red wave we are going to feel soooooo good!

No, the ignorant remain ignorant. I was talking with a friend the other day and he had no idea about CHAZ or any of that stuff.

Amazing how many people there are who are CLUELESS. Doesn’t surprise me in the least bit.

I didn’t like the primary election numbers I saw in my home state, Kentucky. It was Trump country by a big margin last election , but the dems got the vote out in this primary. It will be neck and neck between Trump and Biden, as well as McConnell and McGrath. It doesn’t look good at this point...Trump and McConnell would have lost if this had been the general election.

KY is deep Red, won’t be a problem in election day. Trump has broken all records for an incumbent President. Trump voters are going to come out in droves and drag McConnell across the finish line. I don’t see anyone in their right mind voting Democrat.

That’s a different generation. They all fought in the wars together. They beat down Nazis and Japs and stood up to commies together.

These past few generations just want to be left alone.

That was true in 2016, but the primary numbers should be a warning signal.

I was born and raised in Maryland and after I retired a few years ago I unassed and moved to Texas. Nice and quiet here.

No, the primary numbers are record breaking and give the President a 91% chance of winning. In 2016 there was no incumbent.
