I wonder if the recent riots will have any influence over the election?
Like, you have morons like Lori Lightfoot who refuse to allow federal help, and there are parts of Chicago which are/were food and medication deserts, where you couldn't get either for like five miles. Of course she only represents herself and not the Dems as a whole, but she's hardly unique, and her mishandling of the riots gives ammo to the other side to show how "useless" the Dems are. |

There are systemic issues at play in cities like chicago, and it all comes back to funding and the refusal of a decade plus of republican governance to spend money at the federal level, on anything other than tax cuts.

I don't think it matters, they were taken away without being read their rights to an unknown location by unmarked cars and agents who didn't identify themselves. That sets a dangerous precedent that you should be concerned more with than whether you think some unconstitutional and downright dictatorial actions is justified.

Gov. Kristi Noem (R-SD) castigated Democrats for the recent wave of protests and rioting that have roiled America’s cities on Tuesday, arguing that the party’s leaders have left hard-working “to fend for themselves.” “It took 244 years to build this great nation — flaws and all — but we stand to lose it in a tiny fraction of that time if we continue down the path taken by the Democrats and their radical supporters,” Noem told the Republican National Convention while delivering a prime-time address. “From Seattle and Portland to Washington and New York, Democrat-run cities across this country are being overrun by violent mobs. The violence is rampant,” the governor added. “There’s looting, chaos, destruction, and murder. People that can afford to flee have fled. But the people that can’t — good, hard-working Americans — are left to fend for themselves.” Noem’s remarks came as rioting extended to its third day in Kenosha, Wisconsin. The tumult began on Sunday when local police shot Jacob Blake, a 29-year-old black American man, several times in the back after he resisted arrest, ignored police commands and made a lunge for a deadly weapon in his car. After the video of the shooting appeared on social media, protests erupted on the streets of Kenosha. Those protests quickly turned violent On Monday, in particular, several businesses were burnt to the ground, including, a local charity. The situation only intensified on Tuesday with more looting and confrontations occurring across Kenosha. One of those incidents caught national attention when a 17-year-old Illinois resident, Kyle Rittenhouse, killed two individuals and wounded a third with a rifle. Rittenhouse, who had identified himself as a supporter of law enforcement, was arrested on Wednesday for the shootings. In the wake of such incidents, the Department of Justice announced it is deploying federal resources to Wisconsin to help quell the unrest. https://www.breitbart.com/2020-elect...at-run-cities/ |

They are far from ideal and you know it's bad when even the republicans and Fox News called it out.
What else would you call Trump's secret police loading protesters (Not rioters, protesters) into unmarked vehicles? It's fascism, choosing to be blind to it doesn't make it less so. |

I'd say most americans will feel 'left to fend for themselves' by an increasingly vicious cut of social services that people rely on, something that is championed by the republicans and enforced by Trump.
