"Don't vote Democrat, America will burn!"
America is burning now, dumbasses.
It's because your Fuhrer wants it to burn. That's the re-election strategy.
Another drive by posting by a mental defective.
Say, who's in charge in Wisconsin? In Oregon? Chicago? LA? Seattle? Portland?
Oh wait...

Keep trying.
Or better yet, don't. Your kind is facing justice under the law, and that cold, clammy feeling around your heart is the dread of being found out.
I agree.
This is a spectacular display of mental gymnastics.

100% agreed.

Come again? Is this serious?
All the riots, burning, pillaging, vandalism, harassing and killings are happening in cities administered by Democrat mayors who have publicly supported and encouraged the criminals and terrorists of BLM and "antifart" to run wild in the streets while, at the same time, have hindered and obstructed the work of their cities' PDs.
And today that dumbass mayor of Portland has refused help from the federal government and the National Guard.
How is this Pres. Trump's fault?
I don't even live in the USA and this is absolutely clear to me.
You need a reality check.

Have you even been to the RPG section of the site? Are you just here to post drive by politics?

I suggest not responding to this troll in any way until his post count about RPGs exceeds his post count here. Why give him the attention? He isn't going to engage with you when you reply.

It does seem like a trolling thread - but Pundit approved it.
Still, nobody - welcome to theRPGsite. It would be nicer if you would engage in more real dialog, but we're a free speech forum, and we've seen worse than this here before. I agree with Steven - I would presume you have some interest in RPGs if you're here, so post something on the RPG board about what you'd like to play.
On the general topic, I'm opposed to the violence. I don't think that there's a simple answer to solving it, though. I think getting tough and striking back and protesters is liable to escalate things rather than reduce violence. I note how Trump withdrew federal troops from Portland, for example, as it seems like they were not making anything better. One thing to keep in mind is that the U.S. has a long history of racial violence. This years has been getting worse, but we've wavered back and forth on scale of racial violence for decades.
It seems to me that the riots and violence is not an organized plot -- it is the tail end of widespread unrest particularly among African-Americans. Most black Americans are opposed to the violence, but they're also don't see the police as being on their side, and don't approve of police behavior and want reform. I think violent offenders should be punished, but by itself, I think just stepping up policing will just push more black Americans into the tail end, and will fill up the jails without reducing the violence -- much like the "War on Drugs".

I actually think there's a legitimate criticism of Trump to be had here. He hasn't really helped as much as he should, and he is definitely part of the current divisive trend. But the Democrats appeared to be not only bowing (kneeling) to the mob but also often cheering them on (until they reached their own homes). Trump might deserve to lose the election, but the democrats don't deserve to win it. I wouldn't bet a penny on the Democrats winning this election.

Trump offered to send in the national guard and federal agents. The govenors and mayors told Trump to fuck off. A few threaten to arrest federal agents. What is Trump suppose to do?

Unfortunately, it's not that simple. Unless Trump invokes the Insurrection Act -- a political landmine he might be better off not detonating -- he cannot order in troops to stabilize things. The feds in Portland were protecting federal facilities, and the National Guard has to be called up by the state governor.
As far as 'divisive', I'm sorry, that's just a load of dog shit. Who has been lecturing people for the last twenty years on identity politics, microaggressions, body sensitivity, racial equity, 57 genders, and white privilege? THAT is divisive, and it's worked like a charm.

The first part makes sense.
But horseshit? I think this is where your own biases are showing, because it was very hard to miss during his first campaign. He definitely contributed to a turn towards more shit flinging than ever before (e.g. "lock her up" which was quickly forgotten once he won). Of course the SJWs are divisive, and I have never denied it.

Hilary Clinton is one person, not a demographic. Every candidate casts shade on their opponent. Frikkin Kamala Harris called Joe Biden a racist and now just smiles and laughs when reminded of it.
Trump believes in state's rights FAR more than I do. He sees long term value in the strategy of (a) offering help but respecting local autonomy and (b) letting everyone sane see what the Democrats are doing to their own cities and states.
He's betting this will not only ensure his re-election, but a red wave across the country AND a middle class flight into red states as well.
I'm not a fan of this strategy (for many reasons).
As I've said before, Trump's re-election only pushes the inevitable collapse of America out four more years. We're not going to survive multiple decades of communist indoctrination and cultural destruction. A civil war might be good for a violent purge, but the surviving nation will be terribly wounded for decades.
And I doubt that would be enough. Without a massive "conservative" cultural revolution, a civil war might not achieve much either. Millenials and GenZ are just too broken and everyone else is getting old very fast.
Good times have brought Weak Men who are bringing us Bad Times and who knows if the Strong Men who arise in the Bad Times will have any interest in the Founding Fathers' wisdom.

As I said; Trump is definitely part of the
current divisive trend. Not sure why this needs to be discussed further, unless we are entering "Trump can do no wrong" territory.

Sometimes it is easy to confuse people like Trump who call out things like "fake news" as being the ones who created the problem.
The Gandalf Stormcrow effect I believe.

I'll say yes, he's part of it. But he's a symptom. The Democrat party abandoned the middle class for identity victim politics, and have engendered a lot of, hell probably most of, the divisiveness running through America right now.
Trump is divisive. He got elected because of it, not in spite of it. People are ready to divide just a bit. When you tell me I have to let a boy into the bathroom with my daughter at school to be tolerant, and I say no thanks, well then I am suddenly divisive as well. Some ideas I am quite OK with dividing myself from completely.
