Bad Racist Daddy

Whether it's MORE WAR or GET MORE RACIST or LET THE COPS BEAT MORE PEOPLE, a conventional wisdom in punditry is that whichever candidate can snarl the loudest wins. It's also conventional wisdom in punditry that Republicans win this contest no matter what. The game is goad Democrats (who, it must be said, are often snarl sympathizers) into snarling louder and louder until they piss off all of all their base voters, and then award the prize to Republicans anyway.

If only some experts who get paid a lot of money could read polls.

By more than 2 to 1, voters feel the way to end the protests is to make police reforms and address discrimination, not to use law enforcement to punish protesters. Even @realDonaldTrump’s own backers aren't overly convinced the latter approach is better. pic.twitter.com/riZRKaz5LT
