So then why are blacks and not whites rioting? "In general, whites are twice as likely as blacks and Hispanics to be very distrustful of the government on a variety of measures," he writes in the poll analysis.

And we know what happens.

Thank you, second ammendment, for our liberal control devices.

Trump needs to open the next debate and also have a series of commercials with a simple question. Do you think Washington DC is doing what’s right for you? I’d D.C. a success or a disaster? If you think it’s going well vote for more of the same. If it’s time to shake it up join me.

It took a survey for someone to figure that out?

Yeah, why is that?

Perhaps a serious discussion of secession is in order. Draw a line down the middle of the country: Small government, balanced budget, pull-your-own-weight types on the left, and the rest on the right. You have 3 years to make your choice and move.

And it is only getting worse. Regardless of who wins next month, half the people are not going to look on that person as their president.

But we already knew this. The freeloaders vs. the workers.

Well, that has been going on since at least ‘92.

Remember half of them have below average intelligence.

Another way to also look at it is that if the establishment on both sides of the aisle think their way of doing things is going to continue, they are sadly mistaken.

They can’t keep a lid on this much longer.

It’s the 1/3 who apparently think the government IS competent and truthful that really scare me!

Simple enough.
The division is along the lines of folks to whom the government gives ‘free stuff’ and folks from whom the government takes that ‘free stuff.’
Whites have to go to work to keep the supply of ‘free stuff’ from faltering. No time to riot.

One with logical thinking people and the other a sophomoric collection of do-gooders, the emotion driven, victim-hood believers and those that follow the wind.

Was flipping by PBS and caught two minutes of Judy Woodruff interviewing Kellyanne Conway. Apparently someone at a Trump rally shouted something about "revolution". Woodruff pressed Conway to disavow this (which, under those circumstances, she did). They are panicked.

However, from her face and the tone of her voice I could tell that Woodruff (and by extension the entire MSM) KNOW revolution is coming, and that they're in the crosshairs.

Likewise if Trump wins look for BLM riots in the streets.
