None of the experts (Fauci) has denounced the gatherings for protesting and rioting...

You're wrong on that.

Dr. Fauci voices concerns about coronavirus spreading amid nationwide protests

I think the protests/riots have already precipitated the second wave, if it really exists. Like always, they want to blame it on Trump.

Backfire?
Just the opposite.
Over 800,000 supporters want tickets to his Tulsa Rally.

Because they KNOW that if Trump starts campaigning as usual, Biden will be forced to follow suit.

Bingo. Trump on the campaign trail vs Biden in the basement.

Saturday’s rally in Oklahoma will no doubt turn out thousands of adoring supporters in a deep-red state, but it remains to be seen how he will address his weakness with independents, suburban women and people of color who will play a critical role come November.

Trump rallies are not for independents, suburban women, or people of color. They're for the base and, more importantly, for Trump himself. He seems to draw strength from his rallies and they put him in a better frame of mind.

Media bias is so bad that it is almost a parody of itself.

You think that's a bad thing? Trump supporters will crawl over broken glass to vote for him and his base is growing every day. People in the DC/media bubble have no clue what's happening in America and if they did they're powerless to stop it.

The Democrats led by Fauci want the virus and deaths to continue. The Democrats are the party of Death, Destruction and Doom.Biden will stay hidden and that is their plan.

“I think if biden wins the country must split in 2.”

That’s a sweet thought.

If Biden wins they’ll never let us go, because they will pass voting measures that ensure we will never “elect” another conservative president or congressional majority.

They will continue to collect tax payments from those who “repent” and comply with their Agenda and “disappear” those who refuse to submit.

Think that’s crazy talk? I submit as evidence the behavior of The Left of the past 3-1/2 years.

This country has millions of guns and they will come for the ones in registered hands. They’ll gleefully confront the “from my cold dead hands” battle cry. That will leave tons of unregistered civilian or government-issued weaponry to be used against a defenseless populace for the crime of WrongThink.

If Trump wins, it’s imperative that we start a peaceful divorce. It can only happen with a conservative President and at least one chamber of the House. We may be able to get The Left on board with this as California has already floated the idea of seceding.

The handwriting is on the wall and we’d best read it.

If 100,000 people show up and just one of those 100,000 test positive for the virus a few days later, news media will go 24/7 for days on how Trump put politics above the health of his supporters. They are salivating over this prospect.

But so what?

No matter what Trump does, the MSM will find a way to crucify him. It is the responsibility of good Americans to tune that MSM noise out once and for all.

It's time we stopped being slaves of the mainstream media.

Fauci criticised protesters, but recognised it was their DUTY to demonstrate...

9 Jun: Spectrum News1: Dr. Anthony Fauci Says COVID-19 Vaccine Could Be Dis­tributed Early Next Year
By Jennifer Rufer, El Segundo
Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases tells Inside the Issues, when it comes to the decisions California has been making, Governor Gavin Newsom and other health officials in the state have handled the pandemic “quite well.”...

Dr. Anthony Fauci said protesting is risky during a pandemic, but he respects “the right and the DUTY of people to demonstrate against the injustices that we see in our society.”...

another disgraceful “journo”:

13 Jun: Yahoo: Fauci ‘concerned’ that George Floyd protests could lead to coronavirus spike, but has no comment on Trump rallies
by Alexander Nazaryan, National Correspondent, Yahoo News
“You know, I’m concerned. I am,” Dr. Anthony Fauci told Yahoo News about the protests in a conversation that ranged from the 1918 influenza pandemic to the 79-year-old immunologist’s famous running habit...

A question about Trump’s campaign rallies brought out the latter quality.
“I don’t really want to comment on that,” he said. “It’s not productive.” The reticence seems rooted in the recognition that Trump would likely take any warning about rallies as a slight. Some of the president’s more conspiratorial supporters have long pushed him to dismiss Fauci, manufacturing stories about how the revered immunologist is actually a Democratic plant.
Staying in Trump’s good graces may mean having to stay silent on issues like the upcoming rallies, even though the president’s supporters skew older and, like the president himself, may be reluctant to wear face masks in public. Packing those supporters into an arena could be a public health disaster, as Fauci doubtlessly knows...

What he won’t tolerate, however, are assertions that the coronavirus is not as serious as public health officials have made it out to be. That argument has been proffered by coronavirus skeptics like Alex Berenson, the former New York Times journalist whose embittered Twitter diatribes against lockdown measures have earned him frequent appearances on Fox News.
“How can you characterize it as anything other than denialism?” Fauci wondered of those who doubt the seriousness of the coronavirus pandemic, which has killed 423,000 people worldwide and is the worst viral outbreak since the 1918 influenza.
“To say that this is not a serious situation is just not facing reality,” said Fauci, a veteran not only of the HIV/AIDS fight but also of the battles against Ebola, Zika and other infectious diseases...

It is difficult not to take that as a rebuke of Trump, who repeatedly claimed in the early stages of the pandemic that the virus would “go away.” So far, it has done no such thing.
But just moments later, Fauci evinced an optimism similar to Trump’s...
