Mike Erlandson, a former chairman of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer Labor Party, said he watched with his 15-year-old daughter in Minnesota this week as a man spray-painted on a wall, “F--k the white people from the suburbs.”
“I do think that, particularly if this continues, the [congressional] districts like Dean Phillips’ district or Angie Craig’s district that right now I would say are relatively safe for the Democratic incumbent, could be very much in play,” he said. “Both of those districts will be decided in large part by suburban women voters, and it would be hard for me to imagine those people aren’t watching this scared, like everybody else, for their family and for their children.”
The president, who has repeatedly insisted he’ll win Minnesota in 2020, quickly seized on the chaos to revisit his criticisms of big-city Democratic leadership.
“I can’t stand back & watch this happen to a great American City, Minneapolis. A total lack of leadership. Either the very weak Radical Left Mayor, Jacob Frey, get his act together and bring the City under control, or I will send in the National Guard & get the job done right,” Trump tweeted Friday.
Trump’s reference to a “radical left mayor” was particularly resonant in Minnesota, whose political fault lines are felt deepest between the liberal Twin Cities and a sea of red in much of the surrounding farmland and on the Iron Range.
In 2016, Trump won 78 of the state’s 87 counties. Hillary Clinton’s narrow, 45,000-vote victory was powered by the population-rich Minneapolis-St. Paul area.

Further down in the thread I saw someone who posted a video explaining Antifa which I found to be hilarious, because it is true.
I have seen some other photos from a different city with black protest marchers standing shoulder to shoulder protecting a guard protecting a pizza restaurant. They are shielding him from potential harm from looters and other aggressors.
There are peaceful protesters out there airing grievances. But there are a lot of opportunists and ne’er-do-wells also taking advantage of the situation and the public.
The left doesn’t even require that a person be a racist. Their excuse in their violence directed at innocent people is that they would rather have assaulted someone innocent then to let a Nazi go unpunched.
The Chicago riots may have delivered Illinois for Nixon.
These women were all programmed in college to be strident, virtue signalling, leftists. It’s a status thing, which gets them social approval.
But survival cancels programming. Have reality come snarling in their faces, and their attitudes will change.
Having trouble seeing Texas as blue!
That was the residue of the LBJ machine.
It has been a long time ago - I don't remember all the explanations of the Dems losing Illinois.
Voters were motivated by something to overcome Mayor Daley's Cook County crooked machine.
Especially since it was so close last time.
People are not seeing these events the way the libs think they are.
