The Democratic Party is bracing for massive protests during the Democratic National Committee convention in Chicago in August, reminiscent of the chaos of the 1968 convention.
Fears of a repeat of the infamous convention, which saw hundreds arrested, have been thrown around as the Israel-Hamas war continues and as massive campus protests that have paralyzed several universities have further illustrated what may be in store for the Chicago DNC convention in August.
“This last week has taken the demonstrations to a different level,” former President Barack Obama’s chief of staff William Daley told the Washington Post. “It portends that you have the potential for big demonstrations. Whether they get violent — that’s more imaginable today than it was a year ago.”
**SNIP**
“Peaceful protest is fundamental to American democracy, and has been a fixture of political conventions for decades,” DNC spokesman Matt Hill told the outlet in a statement. “While Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans stoke political violence, we support the ongoing security coordination at all levels of government to keep our convention safe.”
“When the country looks to Chicago this August, the unity and excitement of Democrats will stand in stark contrast to the chaos and extremism stewing in the GOP,” he added.

>> Which do you think is more likely?
With Brandons as mayor AND pResident?
Riot. Loot (of course loot! It’s ChiCongo!). And burn, baby, burn.
DNC supported the BLM riots and now they are going to get the Hamas riots. Sow the wind and reap the whirlwind
What happens if Chicago hotels cancel the reservations???
WHO wants it???
The DNC I guess
I guess they’ll need an updated 2024 “Support the Terrorists” version.

I’m trying to figure out if there’s a downside to what you mentioned.
Burn Chicago? So what?
What specific and unique attributes [or combinations] of Chicago cause you to say that?
Not sure what you’re asking. My point is that it seems politically suicidal for dems to hold their convention where they can be besieged. Ready made hanas swarm. Plus add the 1968 parallels.

Thank you very much!
“...it seems politically suicidal for dems to hold their convention where they can be besieged...”
That would seem to hold for most, if not all, ‘Rat Urban Utopias.
I do not want the Dems to make good plans and prevent this.
They should battle violently against each other on national TV like the 1968 Dem Con.
Maybe the preparations will be so insulting that the Hamas type leftists will get really furious about it.
No nonviolence. No nonviolence.
(Could also be called the Hussein wing.)
🔝🔝🔝
Except that I think that the Dems WANT this, and they’ll be saying “ This is your NEW America, and you WILL like it, or we’ll throw you in prison for 20 years if you say anything”.
I think Patriots need to prepare for action, and be ready to defend themselves and their families when the time comes....and it WILL come.
RE: Jews not welcome. I saw the documentary films of Chicago Mayor Daley in the front row in 1968 cupping his hands next to his mouth and calling Dem speaker Abraham Ribicoff a dirty slur name and trying to get him to leave.
Not on this video but interesting. Note: McGovern lost to Humphrey but he went on to win the nomination in 1972 and won only MA and DC with Nixon winning 520 to 17.

That’s true!
The gaslighting is strong with this one.
Burn, baby, burn!
