LOL a whole palette of loose bricks just "randomly" placed on that street corner in advance of the protest. That is blatant as all get out.

I guarantee you white people put those bricks there. The only question is which ones. Police (officially)? White supremacists? Anarcho-libertarian riot-tourists? One of 'em.

Trump can't afford to lose this election, since that would bring down the house of cards and remove his immunity from criminal investigation and prosecution, and he's completely amoral -- literally ruthless, since pity (or any similar emotion) is as alien emotion to him as it must be to a toad.

He can't fight it on the basis of a booming economy, or his handling of the pandemic, or his record, so he desperately needs something to rally his base and a frightened white public -- riots and angry black people is probably about as good as he get without starting a war.

He wants a modern day equivalent of the american civil war. Call me crazy but odds are he will get one.

Odds are that it's already started.

Odds are, it isn't going to be like the 'Civil War', but more like most other civil wars.

Well, it's 160 years later, for starters. And we have the internet and mass media, whether for good or ill, and they can be used for both. I'd like to think that there are enough people who see the manipulation and won't fall for it. And there are those who agree, of course. They were always there, ticking timebombs, and he came along willing to help them explode. I have to hope the firmer can counteract the latter.

Its more like, unlike 160 years ago when there was more division by region, now its much more cities vs rural areas. So, its not going to be two countries fighting over if they are one country or two countries, but pretty much along ideological lines. That's my reading of it, anyway.

He's unhinged as fuck. It sounds like he's telling his MAGAt supporters to go out and shoot black people.

What? You mean him saying "when the looting starts, the shooting starts" wasn't enough?

I would ask what's going to be enough to convince everyone that he's a racist fuck, but his base knows this already and that's what draws them to him.

It probably thinks it will be a race war or the north against the south. No, it will be its people vs everyone else. My money is on the side that believes in things like vaccinations rather than the one that wants to investigate why Obama did nothing right after 9/11.
