Before 2020 you had to back to 1921 to find mobs of angry white Democrats burning down black communities.
I don’t see the Democrat Party ever giving up on using rioters as weapon for influencing elections and policy-makers.
Not after this year. Not with their current young crop of “true believers.”
If Biden is soundly rejected, will the DNC give up on violence as a campaign tool? They have been using violence as long as I can remember.
Yes. Of course.
I think the path to peace is going to be VERY ugly. There is no way forward that doesn’t involve generating enough fatigue with violence that they start acting human again.
If Trump wins and the democrat violence continues I think Trump will come down hard on the rioters... I mean really hard with federal officers where needed.
It’s essentially the strategy they’ve employed since 2000... They refused to accept that election result and their method hasn’t changed since then. During the Bush presidency it was anti-war protesters threatening democracy... That didn’t work because their nominee was a dolt... Then they won with Obama and then won again... When they lost the last election it didn’t matter whether it was Trump or any other Republican winning... Their goal was to discredit the Republican president on a daily basis with the help of their leftist media supporters.
The Democrats strategy for the last 4 years has been to be ungovernable. If this works, it will be their default position after any loss from now on, from President to dog catcher. 2020 truly IS a pivotal moment in our nation’s history.
The LEFT is carefully setting the stage for violence. They play VERY DIRTY. I think there will be violence no matter what. And of the worst kind.
If Biden wins, there will be no need. The GOP will never win another Presidential election or Senate majority. The Dems will change the entire system to make sure of it.
Chris Cuomo, of CNN, not Andrew asked where it was written.
The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution states that “Congress shall make no law … abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or ‘the right of the people peaceably to assemble’....
The right to protest doesn't permit violence or the incitement to violence. Protests that turn violent are called “riots”.
A riot is a type of civil disorder that results in a public disturbance against authority, property, or people.
Demonstrations that lack the proper permits, or run outside of ‘predesignated areas’ may be deemed a riot, or the related offense of unlawful assembly, which typically involves peaceful but unpermitted demonstrations.
Per federal code, it's a crime when an individual “travels in interstate or foreign commerce or uses any facility of interstate or foreign commerce, including, but not limited to, the mail, telegraph, telephone, radio, or television, with intent” [to]:
-Incite a riot;
-Organize, promote, encourage, participate in, or carry on a riot; or
-Commit any act of violence in furtherance of a riot;
-Aid or abet any person in inciting or participating in or carrying on a riot or committing any act of violence in furtherance of a riot.
Additionally..”Incitement to riot”... is when a person encourages others to commit a breach of the peace without necessarily acting themselves. This may involve statements, signs, or conduct intended to lead others to riot.
“Conspiracy to riot”... involves planning acts that, if undertaken, would result in a breach of the peace.
The answer to his question is the first amendment.
Guess what. Violence will be there strategy no matter what happens. They’ve gone full traitor.
Of course. It will be worse and more deadly.
If they win with riots as a strategy of course they will threaten to use it again. It worked for the Brown Shirts in Germany in 1930s
Local, State, and Federal officials who call for violence to overthrow an election should be found to to be guilty of insurrection and forever barred from holding any public office per the 14th Amendment.
The media/dems will continue instigating violence at every opportunity to cow the public into supporting whatever crazy policies they want to enact. “Support us or shut up or we’ll burn your city down” is the new motto of the democrat party. The jackass will be replaced by a black-uniformed and masked terrorist with a molotov cocktail.
