Trump And The Mob – Open Thread

Will all talk and no action cost him the election?

Tucker Carlson will surely rattle come cages with his very relevant monologue which should serve as a warning to those who are complacent that the election is a done deal.

In a summer of rage following a spring of fear, the political dynamics in America have completely changed due to the coronavirus lockdowns and the subsequent insurrection by mobs that are loyal to Democrats rampaging in the streets.

With the nation more divided than during even the Civil War and the media pouring more gasoline on the fire, law-abiding citizens have been exposed to danger while police and the federal government are standing down.

The presumption that the lawlessness and anarchy will benefit President Trump in November as similar unrest did for Nixon in 1968 is not a given despite the smugness of many.

According to the Fox News host, the continuing criminality which he equated with terrorism could eventually come to damage Trump’s reelection hopes with those who are growing more frustrated that decisive action hasn’t been taken to quell the mobs.

Call it tough love.

Tucker drove home the possibility that Americans are desperate for a restoration of order by playing a harrowing clip of a mother trapped in her car with a young child while surrounded by insurrectionists.

He did give President Trump credit for authorizing the arrest and prosecution for those anarchists who destroy statues on federal property as being a good start.

Carlson called for serious action:

“It would change the course of this country’s future if DOJ rounded up the leaders of Antifa tomorrow along with every single person caught on camera torching a building, destroying a monument, defacing a church & put them all in shackles.”

For whatever reasons, Trump has not acted decisively enough to quash the lawlessness.

It could partially out of fear of falling into a trap if a black protester gets killed by troops or just that he is getting terrible advice from the Kushners but Americans are in serious trouble right now and they are looking for help.

President Trump has always represented something much larger than a mere political figure; he is a symbol, much like Batman and his supporters have had a ruthless war declared on them by extremists who are determined to destroy them while the mob grows stronger by the day.

So, what do you think Deplorables?
