As he did at the 2020 RNC, he will paint this as Joe Biden's America not giving a single fuck that Biden currently has no power.
Trump is running as if he's the challenger. This guy never stopped running as the challenger. He's running as if he's coming in and fixing all the problems... again.
We can't let that happen! THIS IS TRUMP'S MESS!
-Not containing COVID
-The chaos -clashes and violence between protesters and Trump humpers-
-Decline in the economy
-Shitty trade deals that screwed the farmers
...and I'm sure his response to the hurricanes is gonna be a fucking mess
This is Trump's America and WE CAN'T LET ANYONE FORGET!

(16,387 posts)1. Trumps response to the virus. 180,000 dead. This is where the conversation needs to be.
2. Trumps plan to gut social security through the payroll tax suspension. Scare the shut out of the olds.
3. Blaming Trump For violent unrest and reframing it as his fault. On a loop.
But 2 & 3 need to be at the top.
Most of the independents see Covid as a temporary.

(25,320 posts)He blamed all the hippies on Democrats and McGovern.
Nixon won in a landslide in 1972. 60% of the vote. In 1968 he only got 43%

(25,320 posts)There were also groups like Weather Underground etc.
There were also "Red Scares"...calling anti-war groups and even every day kids Commies . I was called a Commie by my parents and I was only 15. They also called my younger sister a Commie. This was all because we wanted the war to end. We never even demonstrated.
. "Americal, love it or leave it" etc "Dirty Hippies" .
Nixon really pushed the generation gap message and painted McGovern as a hippie.

(458 posts)and his sabotage of Johnson's peace plans in Viet Nam got Nixon elected.
Richard Nixon was a popular incumbent president in 1972, as he was credited with opening the People's Republic of China as a result of his 1972 visit, and achieving détente with the Soviet Union.

(9,426 posts)The BLM has every right to be upset, but I wish they would stay off the streets and concentrate on getting voters registered. As things stand now, they are being blamed for all the violence, when it is the tRump supporters who are causing the death and destruction. Don't give them any ammunition, let them parade to empty streets. tRump is gloating about all this chaos, he loves it. We HAVE to get him and the rest of the traitors in the gop OUT of office.

(8,251 posts)I'm saying that to say that most videos and clips that I look at appear to be "protests of passion", protests with no particular plan or organization that maybe spring up from a social media post. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but most of these don't seem like BLM-organized protests even though it's the BLM message.

(9,426 posts)relish joining any kind of protest, especially destructive ones. Mainly they are white agitators, trying to make things worse. Sure, some looters are black, but many are white. I just think if the BLM stayed out of the mix, it would be better for their cause. Do something constructive. Have voter registration drives. Sign up as many voters as possible, and make sure they know exactly where and how to vote. The only way out of this disaster is to get tRump and the gop out of office. No working class person should vote republican. They cater only to the rich. I happen to think tRump fooled them all, since he is NOT rich. He is a fraud.

(25,320 posts)Well, I'm half joking.
However, these yahoos will get out and start yelling BLM and they have no connection to BLM. Many are anti-law enforcement, but don't care about issues facing the black community.

(490 posts)Ultimately, its much easier for comfortable white people to believe that black people and their supporters are reasonable for chaos and not the virtuous police or white conservative politicians. This will be helping Trump considerably and may well be the culture war tipping point that sends Trump back for at least four more years.

(16,953 posts)was a deflection onto protests so that he can inflame race wars. Its obvious he feels this is his best wedge issue to appeal to fears instead of being confronted about his other disasters.

(4,103 posts)In the end it's all about getting people out to vote
Chaos gets right wingers to the polls on Election Day regardless of what that chaos is.
Meanwhile for some reason Democrats focus on getting people to protest which only helps to get the right wingers to come out to vote.

(8,251 posts)Im hoping that the chaos is driving our people out to vote as well in greater numbers. Im hoping that the millions of people that went out and protested since this guy got inaugurated also come out to vote against him.
Chaos usually isnt good for an incumbent but Im starting to think its not applying to Trump. He may be successful at getting people to believe the chaos are the fault of the Democrats.
