Well, I think they wanted to provoke violence, so they could use it to validate the narrative they have been telling about crime filled democratic cities.
I agree, but I think that highlights a vulnerability in the Republican narrative essential in selling their policies, which the Democrats are really missing.
Minneapolis is a good place, with really good people, and a very good understanding of community, and that understanding allows us to be a great city, which actually benefits our surroundings, and is a huge financial engine for the entire state.
These blue cities have been subject to a malicious narrative, that relies on not understanding how hard it is for a major city to maintain that balance, or how damaging applying the reductive logic of Trump and the Republican Party to these cities can be to the the city, and by extension, the entire state’s economy.
Democrats (the people who are supposed to represent us) should give the people who live in these blue cities some credit. Stop relying on the false narrative of “real America” vs “poorly run blue cities, filled with criminals,” and start taking pride in what we’ve built, and who we are, and how we give back so much more than what we take, because of our ability to balance our diversity.
This anti-urban rhetoric is a foundational pillar in building fascistic systems, and it is not being sold to “Real America” by accident.
It is a con-job.
Bringing out the worst in people is what Roy Cohn taught Trump is how you win, and that is what he has done to “Real America.” He has used bearing false witness against us, in the cities, to bring out the worst in them.
Yes. I think the people of Minneapolis are showing us what "real america" might look like, and it is "I'm just out here to protect my neighbor." Repeated with ten thousand voices.
"The administration can survive criticism from the left. It was designed to provoke that criticism, to use it as fuel."
It was designed to provoke that criticism, why?
