It's almost like people expect their elected officials to do their job and enforce the law rather than pander to a mob of riotous looters.

Everything the Democrats have done since 2016 has backfired.

1.  Impeachment-  Everybody saw that for the waste of time and resources it was.

2.  Promotion of AOC and the squad as the new face of the party-   That ended up being the reason they had to choose such a centrist like Biden in the first place.  

3.  Promoting the shutdown / lockdowns-  You can't tell me that lack of productive activities is not contributing to this lawlessness.  Many conservatives said "The cure should not be worse than the disease," from the get go and they were absolutely right.

4.  Looping the Floyd murder for 2 straight weeks to stoke social justice protests in order to galvanize the youth in their party- backfired.

5.  Pushing to defund the police- backfired.  Demonizing the institution of law enforcement is a bad idea when they are the only thing standing between what we had before March versus the last 30 minutes of Apocalypse Now.

6.  Flooding the airwaves with the idea that our country has been the scourge of human history since its inception.-  When impressionable youth with no sense of world history hear that incessantly, then no wonder they want to burn the place down to the ground.


I cannot think of one positive thing the Democrats have done since 2016, and I'm supposed to believe Biden's going to right the ship?  


The only real knock on Trump is his handling of COVID-19, but what could he have done?  He was damned if he did and damned if he didn't.

If Trump would have pushed for total shutdown like the Dems act like they wanted, do you think the media would've supported that?  No way.  They would have used that as an example of his tyranny.  If Trump wanted A, they would say B.

Hopefully that article is correct and enough people with the good enough sense to live productive lives will vote accordingly.
