This year, it’s not just the pro-Hamas wing that will be protesting, but Black Chicagoans opposed to the Democrats’ open-border policies.
I’m old enough to remember the 1968 DNC convention in Chicago, and smart enough to see that Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is no Richard J. Daley. So, as food prices rise with no end in sight, I advise you to stock up on popcorn before the August 19 convention in Chicago this year. As for the Democrats, I cannot imagine a scenario where there is anything but downsides for picking this site, this year.
In case you forgot, the 1968 convention began with ominous foreboding. True, the mayor had done everything he could to prettify the city, including screening the stockyards with redwood fences, but he knew the anti-Vietnam protestors would target the convention and mobilized the National Guard with orders to shoot if necessary.
What followed was worse than even the direst pessimist could have envisioned. Written in 2008, the author described the scene and aftermath:
The 1968 Chicago convention became a lacerating event, a distillation of a year of heartbreak, assassinations, riots and a breakdown in law and order that made it seem as if the country were coming apart. In its psychic impact, and its long-term political consequences, it eclipsed any other such convention in American history, destroying faith in politicians, in the political system, in the country and in its institutions. No one who was there, or who watched it on television, could escape the memory of what took place before their eyes.

If this convention doesn't cause every independent voter to throw his full support behind Trump, nothing will.
“cause every independent voter to throw his support behind Trump...”
or RFKjr, which would really try the dims.
Very true.
It’s gonna be great. We are one county west of Chicago and I can’t wait for the show to start.

DNC will have every chapter of antifa and blm (facilitated by many covert federal agents) deployed to Chicago to create the delusion of enthusiastic support and/or to beat down local demonstrators. No doubt that MSM will provide all of the DNC propaganda efforts needed to fulfill the deception. Their circus will be portrayed as a most successful convention fully supported by all the American populace (81 million votes…)
BTTT
Trump needs to do a rally in South Chicago about a week before the DemRat Convention. Turn Chi-town RED!
I heard one one of the local activists say they are organizing other activists from cities across the country . They will all be there .
The 1968 protesters never got close to the convention.
Protesters were in Grant Park miles away from the convention, which was at the International Amphitheatre.
