How does this play out?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Joe says both sides need to stand down. Is Trump going to say his side, the KKK, Unite The Right, the Proud Boys, the Boogalo Boys, et cetera doesn't need to stand down?

1. If that's how it plays out, Trump loses

"A YouGov poll of 1,001 U.S. adults released Saturday found that 61% prefer 'bringing people together' as the solution for unrest, while 39% say 'law and order.'"

Trump already way out on a limb here; if he tries to pivot to "I'm the best ever at bringing people together!" it will have about as much weight as his claim that he took coronavirus seriously from the very beginning.

2. The boogaloo bois have a white supremacy mindset, but they are also different

from other white supremacists. They show up to protests fast and coexist with BLM demonstrators, even as their ultimate goal is white supremacy. They also hate the police. I believe that it was a boogaloo boi that killed the federal law enforcement officer in Oakland and I would not be surprised that it is determined that a boogaloo boi shot the patriot prayer white supremacist dead in Portland. Although they are supposedly working for the same ends, the boogaloo bois appear to be in violent conflict with other white supremacist groups on how to get to that end. The boogaloos despise police with a murderous rage. I see the group as violent and dangerous, but also strange, and surprisingly not a threat to BLM protesters like other white supremacist groups are.

3. Isn't Trump going to speak to law enforcement

and view damage done by the protests? He'll probably bring along Erik Prince to talk strategy with the cops
