The new Fox News poll in Wisconsin conducted entirely after the unrest in Kenosha suggests President Trumps law and order stance isnt working: Trump trails Biden by 5 percentage points in the state on the issue of policing and criminal justice.

(1,979 posts)know he is a compulsive liar. Law and Order being touted by the biggest criminal and liar in the WORLD is a hard pill to swallow. It may not sway those who have finished the gallon of kool-aid, but then again they were never going to be swayed anyway - he is who they are. It's those who voted for him INSTEAD of Hillary, or those who are actually paying attention to words and deeds - those are the ones who he is trying to get back and I just don't think it is going to happen.
As usual, he is breaking things so he can claim to fix them. Think of all the lies he came up with over the wall and border crossings - this is the same playbook but he is using American cities. He is running out of things to lie about. People understand voting and they see what is going on - it is clear that he is actively trying to rig this election by attempting to create doubt and fear. The funny thing is, he is probably going to get the biggest turnout of voters in history BECAUSE of what he is doing and hopefully it will be a spectacular wipe out that in no way can be contested or doubted and he will be out and we can begin the healing.
We are a broken country, mentally, physically and spiritually. It is hard to imagine that one person could have created so much damage in less than four years just to feed his gigantic needy ego. I think that the very thought of healing will bring people to the polls in droves. There is only so long that you can remain in the darkness before you seek out the light; its been like a horrifically turbulent plane ride. Biden and Harris are offering us the oxygen mask and I think that a huge number of citizens will gratefully accept it.

(10,089 posts)I was talking to my sister the other day and we were both worried but I pointed out that I dont know of anyone who didnt vote trump last election that will do so this election but I know a lot of people who voted for him last time who will not this time so take heart. She agreed with that. GOTV.

(82,849 posts)Although when some knucklehead starts going on and on about cities being torn apart by the antifa rioting (cities aren't being torn apart, and the rioting isn't antifa), I find that the conversation ends very quickly when I point out that there was no rioting a year ago, and certainly not four years ago. What's changed in that time, except Trump's re-election looks chancier than ever?

(11,084 posts)Al Capone was also more supportive of the police, as he had so many on his payroll. Trump never pays.
