Voters Favor Crackdown on Violent Protests; Most Democrats Disagree
https://www.rasmussenreports.com ^ | 8/13/20 | Rasmussen

Posted on 08/13/2020 10:23:30 AM PDT by Midwesterner53

Voters are ready for the police to put an end to the continuing violent protests nationwide. Most also say the protests will be important to their vote in the upcoming elections.

When asked which is closer to their own thinking, 50% of Likely U.S. Voters say the police should crack down on the protests to bring them to an end. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 38% disagree and believe the protests should be allowed to continue until the protesters decide to end them. Eleven percent (11%) are undecided.

There’s sharp partisan disagreement on this question, though. While 75% of Republicans and a plurality (47%) of unaffiliated voters think the police should crack down on the protests, just 31% of Democrats agree. Fifty-six percent (56%) of Democrats say the protests should be permitted to continue until the protesters want to end them.

Count of the great majority of Americans to retain their common sense. This is very bad news for Democrats who have championed these thugs and felons. The Trump campaign needs to hammer this home from now to November and in the debates. Make this a clear election to decide between chaos or order.

Most Democrats welcome the anarchy, believing as they do that it furthers the goal Democrat Party hegemony.

Most Democrats get their news from propagandist Marxist leaning outlets and believe the lies spoon fed to them.

This is bigger than some street mob or some iconoclastic malcontents. In fact it's very big. NOTE:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sb9jRqgDOJ8&feature=youtu.be

"The 2021 Davos Summit is coming up right after Christmas, and for the Great Reset they need President Joe Biden to hand us, the United States, over to them if he wins this election. This is why they are trying so hard to take Donald Trump down."

"This is about a reset of everything, and the United States of America, right now, is in the way of all of it. So they are destabilising our entire country."

"No one...no country will be allowed to opt out. This is what we're facing in November."

"they made a mistake: they tried to get Trump on their side. They invited Donald Trump to Davos, I think a couple of times. But in January, I think when Donald Trump really began to see the Beast that he was up against, he went to Davos, to the World Economic Forum, and he stuck a megafinger in their eye:

'We're committed to conserving the majesty of God's creation and the natural beauty of our world, but to embrace the possibilities of tomorrow we must reject the perennial prophets of doom and their predictions of the apocalypse. These alarmists always demand the same thing: absolute power to dominate, transform, and control every aspect of our lives. We will never let radical socials destroy our economy, wreck our country.'

~Donald Trump

"Two days after Donald Trump gave that speech...George Soros made an emergency intervention, at Davos, once again, warning that 'the 2020 US Election will determine the 'fate of the whole world.''"

"Do you see why there's so much hate for Trump?" "He never will be one of them."

"Shortly after the speech at the UN that Donald Trump delivered, what do you think happened? The coronavirus was unleashed on the world, and Trump's booming US economy went on life-support. You think that was an accident?"

"The name of the game now is to bring the United States economy to its knees, get it out of the way, so that everyone will want the Great Reset, make the 'new normal' so intolerably abnormal that even you and I maybe in the near future will be begging for the vaccine, so that we'll be driven crazy by that point, begging for whatever else is going to keep us safe according to our jailers and our handlers and our zoo-keepers. You see, that's what they want, that's why they keep using the term 'new normal.'"

"What can we do to fight back? ..."

"For heaven's sake, go back to church and pray that Trump wins in November."

"That's what the Reset is about. That's what the "Russia Hoax" was all about. That's what the "Impeachment Hoax" was about. You see? For four years they've been trying to stop this man because if he succeeds, if he strengthens America, if he makes it great again, if he brings the economy back--again, the Reset won't happen; the New World Order's going to be set way back. Who knows when they're going to have another Covid Opportunity like this one again?! And they know it. So ask yourself why they hate this man."

"They hate Donald Trump, whose political opponents, by the way, right now are knocking statues of saints to the ground; they're beating up cops; and they're burning flags."

"The choice is simple, friends: Stand with America right now, or fall with the New World Order in the not-so-distant future. There's no other choice."

‘"I have a lot of enemies. This may be the last time you see me for a while. I have a lot of very rich enemies. They're not happy with what I'm doing. But I figure we have one chance to do it. No other president is gonna do what I do."’

Protest is one thing...Rioting, vandalism, destruction and theft is a totally different item...

The so-called “protests” are nothing but a precursor to the other...

The Silent Majority is not going to be silent much longer. Already seeing lots of examples of pushback, both vocal and physical. The demonrats have overplayed their hand.

First ... IMO there are no more democrats ... at least of the America loving JFK types.

Second ... what passes for democrats today is generally America hating communists. Most of who would not hesitate to put those who disagree with them (us) into "re-education" camps should they ever gain the power to do so.

Third ... again IMO if our republic is to survive we must admit to ourselves that #2 is inevitable unless we get the resolve to deal with them in anyway necessary.

It is and will be a matter of survival for us and future generations. Evil flourishes when good men do nothing.

Okay, so why is Biden ahead in this same poll?

Most Democrats welcome anarchy, until it affects them personally.

I heard Glenn Beck talking this morning about the ‘Great Reset’ and Agenda 2030. Hadn’t heard about either of them before now.

Bears looking into and I will do so.

Hmmm, way under the 43% Clinton threshold.
Antifa may hand the election to Trump.

A friend sent me that link.

It explains a lot that I have found puzzling, e.g. the tremendous hatred toward Donald Trump.

Most people don't particularly hate anyone unless there a particular reason, e.g. it's someone who's trying to harm them or their families--someone who's preventing them from fulfilling a dream--something like that.

In other words, unless someone's in you way, you probably wouldn't feel a passionate hatred like that.

So the magnitude of the hatred bespeaks some profound personal reason or threat--or perhaps the reasons described in the video.

The democrat party is a criminal enterprise masquerading as a political party.
