Democrats panic as voters turn away from the left’s unending violence; Orders have gone out from Democrat headquarters tell talking heads and politicians to take a different approach
American Thinker ^ | 08/27/2020 | Andrea Widburg

For months now, the Democrat-controlled mainstream media has cheered on the violence that followed George Floyd’s fentanyl overdose while in police custody. In Democrat-run cities across American, mayors sympathized with the mobs on the streets. They would not act to stem the violence that has destroyed billions of dollars in public and private property and claimed several lives. Higher up the political chain, Democrat politicians refused to condemn the violence, instead blaming federal officers and (of course) President Trump.

Suddenly, though, there’s a change in the air. With Trump getting a bounce following the Democrat convention and getting an even greater bounce as the Republican convention plays out, Democrats in the media and elsewhere have realized that the average American is repelled, rather than enchanted, by a violent, bloody revolution in America’s streets.

This woman speaks for many Democrats voters who believe that any hope for a safer, brighter future lies with the Republicans, not the Democrats:

"This convention just in the last two nights has awakened me that there is hope," says a Minnesota Democrat with anguish in her voice.

It’s no wonder that, in an abrupt about-face, both the mainstream media and political leftists are calling out the rioters and the bullies. For general consumption, they condemn the violence. When speaking to the base, though, they don’t condemn the violence. Instead, they tell the mob that their activities, rather than hurting Trump, are helping him. There’s no concern for the lives destroyed and the cities ruined. It’s all about positioning Biden for an election victory.

I’m willing to bet it’s too late and they’ve already lost control of the monster.

They've ridden the anarchist tiger for months. It is going to be very hard to get off of it, pat it on the nose and say "Nice kitty. Now get back in the cage." Sorry, the tiger has tasted human blood and likes it.

So... is what we see now that the marching orders, and the modus operandi of the news, gets their calls from the DNC?

Okay, GOP, your convention is on center stage. Tie this around their necks. Don’t be nice. Don’t be gentlemanly. Don’t act like this is all just an honest disagreement about how high marginal income tax rates should be. Hang this violence around the necks of Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and every other Democrat ... even if you like chatting with them at cocktail parties in DC.

or

President Trump will just do it himself.

Democrats turned it on. But can they turn it off? And if they can, it should be obvious to all they (Democrats) turned it on.

I think a big segment of the American people, including Democrats, are seeing through this. The left has screwed themselves royally.

Congrats, Obama and valjar. You messed up.

Agreed. Once you’ve seen the elephant, you can’t unsee it.

The waking people, as opposed to the woke, have woken. They don’t like what they see. I doubt that in 2 months such people are going to change.

I have heard it now several times, so here we go. “This chaos is happening on DJT’s watch”.

I thought it was because of “systemic racism” and hating white people.

But now...it’s hurting their numbers.

When Don Lemon is pleading for it to stop, you know it’s bad for the dems.

They have a tiger by the tail. Oops. ;)

If Trump now does something to end it like taking control of a city with federal troops, will the now cheer him on?

I think not!................

There are two major motivators for the riots: (1) Planned, organized and coordinated antifa efforts, and general looting excuses.

For the life of me, I cannot see how violence could somehow compel voters to vote for it.

This is not Soviet Russia, this is not Nazi Germany, this is not North Korea or Cuba. This is the 2nd Amendment America where law and order as well as freedoms spelled out in the Bill Of Rights are ours. Even dem voters like the McClosky’s figured this out, and many many more McClosky’s out there will either stay home or vote Trump.

The stupid ass rats finally figured this out, and now it’s too late. The anarchists will simply not go home. Those affected by it will not simply forget it and just vote Joe & the Ho.

Of course, when the Dems “condemn the violence,” the media touts it as the greatest thing that has ever happened.—The Dems are strong, care about security, want law and order. Baloney.

The leftists dropped a loose deuce in the DNC punchbowl and now they're trying to un-turd it without actually calling attention to the brown swirling matter. Good luck.

Americans are finally catching a whiff of the turdjuice and are refusing to drink it.
