Enter 2020, and the racial division crap going on in this country is clearly off the charts. We haven’t seen this kind of chaos all over this country since the 60’s, and I’d argue it may not have been to this level back then. Do you think it has something to do with it being an election year to ensure white people and Trump are seen as the culprit, or simply galvanizing the black vote with fear and racial division to turn out, and Dems win the election, or is it just another one of those “Nothing to see here, move along” coincidences?

Or hey, let’s just get to it, shall we? Given the incredible amount of changes to building names, street names, tearing down statues, making people kneel and accept what they overwhelmingly rejected only a year or so ago as it was disrespectful to do so, Is this something even more nefarious in creating a true Orwellian/Socialist state?

Or again.... Is it just one big old coincidence?

Election year

Same reason why health experts and the media say giant protests are okay but we can’t go to work, church, or have fun. Same reason why Trump rallies are bad and will spread the virus but the protests won’t.

Most of this will disappear like a fart in the wind the day after the election in November when the money dries up.

Probably has more to do with people being bored and locked down and having to interact with the world almost exclusively via the internet, and we know how that fricks people up.

Now, you may believe the lock down itself happened because it's an election year. Personally, I'm highly skeptical about conspiracy theories.

If the media doesn’t blow up Floyd George and stoke the flames of discontent while at the same time suddenly say it’s safe and okay to come protest (but last week if you had a barbecue or went to the beach you were killing grandma, and the protestors wanting to open things back up were literal Nazis)




Seriously the media is the enemy in this country. They aren’t journalists, they are propagandists.

Being as both candidates are already accusing the other of stealing the election, I become more convinced every day the winner becomes a little less relevant.

It's going to be a shite show regardless.

Yeah, 2016 isn’t a pimple on 2020’s arse, but then again, it was an election year as well, so there it is.

The only thing the democrats have is the race card so that's what they play.

100% election. If for some reason this works for Democrats, and they win, this will all go away in a week. If not, this continues with other countless investigations/impeachments until DJT is out of office.

Let’s see.

About two months ago we had a black guy stalked and gunned down who (at the worst) may have gone into a house under construction. What we learned is that the police and the DA were apparently going to give the white guys a pass.

Then we had a black guy get choked out, dead, by a white police officer while people at the scene pleaded for his life.

And we had a black lady in bed gunned down while her boyfriend tried to fight off home invaders in the middle of the night, who turned out to be plain clothed police with a no knock warrant.

So the cumulative effect of these events is that people took to the streets to say it’s past time that we examined racial issues in policing.

This did not happen because it is an election year. However, Trump jumped into it threatening military action to put it down. It has certainly become politicized.

Democrats want to replace all meaningful American traditions, principles, ideals and Institutions. This is their societal masterpiece. Thousands of professional Leftists working in unison to create the MUH Systemic Racism narrative and unleash the fury of The Mob.

Democrats represent CHAOS. The way they achieve this is by promoting Collective Guilt agitprop that are the exact opposite of our Bill of Rights . Constant, never- ending provocations meant to keep America in a state of chaos. Americans who aren’t ideologically- possessed Leftists tend to prefer order, The Rule of Law, equal protection, Free speech etc. They see this, and they understand.

The 60's? Try 2016

The ONLY difference is that in 2016 the entire country wasn't in a state of suspended existence with the media simultaneously over-exaggerating a "cataclysmic pandemic". In other words, most people had other things, good things, to concern themselves with besides daily freakouts orchestrated by the media. People were working. Going on vacation. Visiting with friends/family. Going to ballgames, concerts, parties, etc. Their reality wasn't the distorted perception the media was desperately attempting to portray

So, in short, NO. This isn't a coincidence...at all. Now don't get me wrong. Covid-19 IS real. The black man in Minnesota WAS killed by the police officer. But the media's and certain politicians' all out effort to whip the populace into a state of panic, division, and discontent is ALL purposeful and orchestrated because it is an election year. And the effect of those efforts are amplified because we aren't "allowed" to live our normal lives.
