The right-wing will rile up racial tensions

Just so Trump can say: see look, white folks, the radicals have taken over civil-rights and are coming for your suburbs.
If you don’t think that can be used to get Trump back in then your naïve.
Read up on Cointelpro and Operation Gladio

I myself posted an OP saying Biden on paper is a win unless something happens.

Now if we ever get over this present protest over Brother Floyd then there may be a deep state right-wing attempt to further rile up the country so much that God knows what will happen.

Trump is so bad that I doubt this can be used like many GOP candidates (Bush and Nixon) did in the past: scare enough white folks they put Trump back in. Right now, Trump thinks the only way to win ( is scaring white voters) that’s why he started this I the law and order candidate that goes back to Nixon and George Bush racist days.


I don’t want to left and civil rights groups to get too far out on all these protests and give Trump any room to lie and propagate such fear that he can win again.

He does not have to scare the whole white electorate just a few in Pennsylvania, Wisconson, Ohio, and Michigan.

They've already started to malign groups and slander them and do violent acts in their name such as Antifa.

Plus that tactic would only have the possibility of working if he were running as an outsider. But he's the incumbent and can't feed on the fear of people if he's already in office and hasn't protected them from what they fear.
