Trump is hoping for a white backlash. None is coming

Trump is hoping for a white backlash. None is coming

"SNIP......

As police rampage across the country (here, here, here, here, here, and this endless thread (at around 300 incidents and counting), the old Vietnam War adage of “winning hearts and minds” comes to mind—and how police are doing the exact opposite. The immediate result is physical pain, emotional hurt, and endless outrage at the gross violations of civil rights, human rights, and just basic common decency. But there is a silver lining: Captured on camera, it’s becoming increasingly difficult for people to ignore the sorry state of American race relations. And as a result, support for Black Lives Matter continues to grow.

That said, a lot of people that supported him in 2016 will either not vote or vote for Biden. I am a middle aged white woman. I have never voted for a repuke and I never will. The fact is only racists are with trump. Everyone else is with america.

He’s begged them to start, he blew his whistle. They aren’t coming because they always been full of crap.

They’re great keyboard warriors and internet tough guys who love to COSPLAY Army but they’re not going to start a civil war nor are they going to take on the actual military who will immediately salute and follow the duly elected president Biden on Jan 20 2021.

Yelling about masks and screaming at women to open the economy is their finest hour.

They are paper tigers just like trump.
