It only works if you are the challenger, not if you are the incumbent. Nixon was able to pull off a victory in 1968 because he was the challenger. LBJ and the ruling Democratic Party were held responsible for the civil unrest that rocked several American cities that year. Nixon won, in part, on his promise to restore law and order.
2020 is different. The civil unrest that we are experiencing is far more widespread and far more disciplined than it was in 1968. Trump OWNS this civil unrest. Because hes a moron, he also now owns his defense of memorials to people who fought to protect slavery. Talk about being tone-deaf!
But now hes running on the law and order platform, and he cant do anything to stop the civil unrest we are seeing. Hes just proving himself to be impotentissuing unenforceable orders left and right but having NO EFFECT. He looks weak. He looks impotent. He cant stop the civil unrest, so his law and order strategy is backfiring on him.
Right now, hes promising something that he cant deliver. Why would anyone give him a second chance to accomplish something that he cant accomplish NOW?
He has, because hes really stupid, chosen a losing strategy.
