Because only Trump can save us from the mess he created.

Oh it was Trump who created the burning cities mess not the Democratic mayors and governors of those states and cities who refused to let the police and National Guard do their jobs.

Think you forgot who the president is. Trump wants the blue cities to burn. He only cares about the red states and he's proven that.

Trump wants the blue cities to burn.

As much as I agree Trump isn't doing shit about the protests it really is a no-win situation for him. If he sends in federal troops to crack down he's accepting all responsibility. If they come in too weak he's going to get blasted for it and it they crack down to hard he's going to get blasted for it.

As cynical and immoral as it may be the best move does seem to be let cities that never vote for him burn down and let the people in the suburbs watch as leftist grievance hustling reaches it's obvious conclusion.

Nobody ever said the job is easy. He'll be criticized no matter what he does. But he took an oath to protect ALL Americans, not just the ones that will vote for him.

But that's the lens of realpolitik unfortunately. Like I said, it is immoral but it is a political advantageous thing to do. It does bring up an interesting conundrum though. Do you bother saving the people who will hate you for doing so? Let's say the Trump brownshirts come into Portland to restore order and crack skulls and in the conflict they do kill like five more unarmed (apparently that just means innocent to some people) people. Would that actually help the situation there?

I will say Trump has done some pants-on-head retarded decisions but how he's handling these riots is honestly pretty politically savvy. He offers help to mayors he knows will reject it then lets the cities reap the consequences. How many times does Trump need to say "All they have to do is gimme a call, they have to ask" before the blame is no longer on him?

The suburbs aren't being spared either though. Kenosha is a suburb and it's been one of the hardest hit. And then the local police forces and district attorneys have the audacity to arrest people for defending their towns.

Kenosha isn't really a "blue city." Kenosha County voted for Trump in 2016.

Obviously #NotAll, but out of the most populous 50 cities 48 of them have seen BLM riots. If we go down that list, the overwhelming majority are going to be cities that voted blue. The fact that there's some collateral damage in the suburbs does not negate my point.

Again, your whole point here is just an outlier.

Every time he is in front of a camera he repeats and repeats his offer to send federal troops to the cities being targeted by antifa and BLM riots. Are you going to tell me you wouldn't object if he sent them in without permission of the governors?

I would. States rights are a thing. Leftist shitholes are allowed to be leftist shitholes. The problem is when they lyse out into red states. Slightly left voters didn't stop this from happening, and they will repeat the cycle in new areas.

Look how well that worked in Portland.

What?

[–]Druullus 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Aren't there authorities in those cities/states?

He wants them to burn so much, in fact - that when he kept offering support to stop the rioting and looting, everyone turned him away.
