Bottom line: The impression I am getting is that our worthless, soft, liberal and moderate Republicans are not happy about being called racists, etc., and they are not happy about the riots/protests, etc. BTW, this private school bends over backwards for minorities, most of whom could not get in either based on grades or finances. My question: Is anybody else noticing a backlash among non-political folks?

‘My question: Is anybody else noticing a backlash among non-political folks?’

in a word, no...

I run a weird facebook page for a clown character I play at a theme park — it isn’t one of those ‘like’ pages though, the character just has a page, and has friends.

Anyway, that means I have people running the political gambit, and I get their posts. And there are actually a good number of people who are still comfortable posting “all lives matter” and putting up confederate flags. But I also see a lot of comments on liberal friend’s pages, that suggest there are a lot more people who are fed up with this stuff, but are kind of afraid to come out too publicly and get cancelled.

So, unless the democrats manage to find a way to make voting public, I feel like we might see some surprises at the ballot box. Of course, democrats are working overtime to suppress republican voters, threatening to get people fired from work even if they vote republican.

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,

This will be the test. At some point they have to get off the fence. Observe all the details closely and pretend you are Columbo.

The real ***national*** backlash is coming after Nov 3rd.

[ClearCase_guy]

I'm seeing some of that in MA. The Karens are still shrill, but there seem to be more people voicing frustration with how out of control things are getting -- not just violent riots, but the endless accusations and ceaseless demands. I think people are tired of it.

The media is pushing the idea that society has now completely fallen apart and that it's all Trump's fault, and I don't think that idea is selling well. People can spot the real troublemakers.

My nephew -the least political person in our family-finally KNOWS who the primary personalities are. He knows who has failed, who has been creating discord, who has been lying and what their lies have done. HE’S real Pi*&ed!!

THAT’S saying something because we all walked around on tip toe when talking politics around him, before. Now he’s real sick and tired of it.

[workerbee]

Not in Maryland, at least not enough to matter.

[ChronicMA]

you know what they say a liberal who gets mugged turns into...

all these outrages people see on TV and see in the companies and organizations they are involved in are sort of a “mugging in absentia” upon them and has an effect

‘My question: Is anybody else noticing a backlash among non-political folks?’

YES. My non-political GF who voted for Hillary in 2016 is voting for President Trump in November.

She HATES talking about politics and really hates how President Trump is just constantly attacked and not allowed to do his job.

She doesn't like some of the things he says but likes what he does. I think she's pretty typical of many these days.

[setter]

I’m starting to see some backlash on Facebook but not enough to make a difference

YT people are afraid of losing their jobs, reputation and friends and be called racciiiissst.

[nonliberal]

I think jogger fatigue is starting to set in.

[A_Former_Democrat]

I think there’s a lot of pent-up anger with people feeling helpless right now to do much about it but will forcefully punch the ballot for Donald Trump in November

I know that this is happened to me in the past I get so tired of somebody that I emphatically vote And then emerge from the polling place feeling much better

[JonPreston]

Since the riots, I’ve influenced two friends to vote Trump, one who lives in MD and the other in Charlottesville, VA. I’m working on gaining +20 Trump voters.

Hard Hat Riots 1970. We’re not to this point. Will be soon, I’ll bet.

[LS]

Yes. It always comes. This is history. Every Reign of Terror hits a Thermidorian Reaction.

Usually—in all other societies-—this results in a dictator.

Trump is not that dictator. If society does not rally behind him and stop this, the “next” guy (and it won’t be Demented Perv Biteme) will be Hitler. Our country has about six months to detox, admit it’s been an SJW alcoholic, and straighten up.

[E Pluribus Bellum]

Nope. Not a chance. It has, apparently, been beaten or conditioned out of us. It’s too late anyway. We’re toast.

[Varda]

To answer your original question. No, I see no backlash. Older people are afraid. The thing they value most isn't freedom, it's their possessions. Younger people have been taught that socialism is better than capitalism. They've been set up to greet the communist troops that will enslave them.

[spacejunkie2001]

I don’t think it’s just the soft republicans that are over what’s going on. I believe there will be a large number of dems and blacks (pretty much redundant but you get my point) that will vote for trump in Nov which will negate the left’s attempt at massive voter fraud.

[Moose4]

I really hope so, but I’m not so sure. The media drumbeat is making it look like the BLM cancel-culture types are the majority. They have power far out of proportion to their numbers, with the backing of corporate America and the entertainment media. I don’t know what it’s going to take to get people to actually stand up and push back, even at the voting booth.
