Interesting article:
Excerpt: “The effect of violent protests, however, seemed to have the opposite effect. Indeed, Wasow believes that violent protests caused a shift among whites toward Republicans large enough to tip the 1968 presidential election to Richard Nixon, as scenes of violent protest shifted news coverage, elite discourse, and public opinion toward the theme of social control.”
I’m seeing this effect on social media as people watch horrified as rioting/burning videos get posted. Public opinion is already backfiring bigtime on the Dems/Antifa agitators.
San Diego report 9 :La Mesa PD, Cops surrounded the group and with tear gas got them too disperse. Woman hit in head with rubber bullet, poor baby. Few windows broken in the police station.
Interstate 8 still blocked.
Not much else.
Same here. The first night in MPLS of violent protests, the attitude seemed to be more pro-protester but today I don’t see much of that as people see them looting stores, spray paint any thing they can find, lit buildings or cars on fire, etc. The more sane people will realize this will destroy cities as people wont visit for pleasure, conventions will move, business will close, etc.
GRAPHIC: Man in Dallas attempting to defend business against looters is beat with skateboard, stomped, and stoned nearly to death.
His condition is not known.

Yep. I said earlier that I thought the Democrats were replaying 1968 this year and it will backfire on them. There is no doubt in any of our minds these protests were part of a plan to cause mayhem across the country. They just needed an event, a spark to give them the green light, and George Floyd’s death provided it for them. They’re pulling out all the stops from coronavirus to these riots to defeat Trump in November. I fear what’s coming next from these people. We still have half a year left in what has already been a very eventful 2020 in America.
Have you noticed the press IS NOT pressing Democrats to condemn the violence?
