Mike Erlandson, a former chairman of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer Labor Party, said he watched with his 15-year-old daughter in Minnesota this week as a man spray-painted on a wall, “F--k the white people from the suburbs.”
“I do think that, particularly if this continues, the [congressional] districts like Dean Phillips’ district or Angie Craig’s district that right now I would say are relatively safe for the Democratic incumbent, could be very much in play,” he said. “Both of those districts will be decided in large part by suburban women voters, and it would be hard for me to imagine those people aren’t watching this scared, like everybody else, for their family and for their children.”
The president, who has repeatedly insisted he’ll win Minnesota in 2020, quickly seized on the chaos to revisit his criticisms of big-city Democratic leadership.
“I can’t stand back & watch this happen to a great American City, Minneapolis. A total lack of leadership. Either the very weak Radical Left Mayor, Jacob Frey, get his act together and bring the City under control, or I will send in the National Guard & get the job done right,” Trump tweeted Friday.
Trump’s reference to a “radical left mayor” was particularly resonant in Minnesota, whose political fault lines are felt deepest between the liberal Twin Cities and a sea of red in much of the surrounding farmland and on the Iron Range.
In 2016, Trump won 78 of the state’s 87 counties. Hillary Clinton’s narrow, 45,000-vote victory was powered by the population-rich Minneapolis-St. Paul area.
Identity politics is all fun and games until they come to burn down your neighborhood.
>>a man spray-painted on a wall, “F—k the white people from the suburbs.”
Good likelihood the vandal was white and possibly a paid participant in the civil unrest
President Trump should have a carrot and stick approach. A carrot to those who desire to express themselves peacefully and the stick for those who do not.
The Democraps tried this rioting/chaos crap in ‘68 and Nixon won with one of the most lopsided landslides in history. People in the Mushy Middle may be swayed by sappy progtard platitudes, but even they don’t care for looting and turd world savagery.
People get to vote on whether the party encouraging the rioters in their voting bloc....get to run the WH for the next 4 years.
Tough choice.
Who exactly was NOT upset by the “knee on that man’s neck”?
Exactly. It’s easy to romanticize the “poor & oppressed” people from a distance. Until they come knocking...

Actually, Nixon just squeaked by Humphrey in 68. But if George Wallace hasn’t been running as a Third Party candidate, Nixon might have captured most of the blue collar voters who responded to Wallace’s “law and order” rhetoric.
“Samantha Shader, the criminal who threw a lit Molotov cocktail at a police car full of officers yesterday is being charged with damaging a police car, not with attempted murder”
White Privilege
Might be a big boost to the GOP in the US Senate race (maybe Jason Lewis) against the invisible Tina Smith.
And lives in his mom's basement, in the suburbs. LOL!
Only 15 days to slow the spread.
bttt
So do these people really hate whites or do they hate themselves for being black?
“F—k the white people”
Those crazy MAGA supremacists!
It also helped he wasn’t running against the superstar, Robert F. Kennedy.
In all likelihood.
Nevertheless, if it turns the politics of this country around, there’s at least a silver lining to all this.
Many people have been praying that the evil among us and the lefts machinations would be exposed for all to see.
Clearly it has been. Now it’s up to the people to decide which side they are going to land on.
I read a Fox News story that said she's already been charged with four counts of attempted murder and now the feds are adding charges about the "improvised incendiary device".
