The concern of voters over "the lawlessness in the cities." [View all]

Watching MSNBC and some elderly Fla voters were interviewed. This is their concern -- alleged by the MSNBC viewers -- violence in the streets. It even tops CV19 concerns.

Perhaps the Lincoln Project might wish to disabuse voters of this notion? The violence which is going on NOW is taking place during the Trump Admin. Yes, many major "democrat" run cities are involved, but how has Trump SUCCESSFULLY lessened, curbed and/or eliminated this violence?

The answer, IMO, is that he has NOT. He has exacerbated in by sending his federal bullies. Yes...bullies...who target the peaceful protesters and who ignore the ones (read RWNJ) who really truly are the problem. IMO, Trump has given an OK to RW violence and it has been directed by him toward large cities which are primarily under the control of state and local Dem Admins. Yes, there are some baddies on the left side, but not all protesters are left wing, liberal radical street violence perpetrators.

I cannot believe that is is just happenstance that the outbreaks of violence is coincidentally only in blue cities. We all know what is happening and the supposed "liberal MSM" is just stepping back and not doing one damn thing about telling WHY it's happening.

JMHO
