BLM riots delivering Minnesota to Trump?

Racial tension always helps the GOP, almost no matter the context. That shouldn't be controversial.

Is there anything that doesn't help Trump according to you?

Well this could be a cross cutting issue. Unlike 2016, Trump is the incumbent. Isn't civil unrest one of the Lichtman keys? So even if the racial angle helps him, if there is civil unrest under his term it isn't good for him.

Does anyone find it interesting that riots always ramp up during election years? The last time there was this much riot activity it was... summer 2016. Trump then went on to give his convention speech about "American Carnage" and "Law and Order." 2017, 2018, 2019 almost nothing. Biden starts to overtake Trump in the polls, then all of a sudden you have the brutal torture and murder of a black man that happens to be streamed entirely on FB Live, then you have these anonymous gangs of people showing up to bust up stores? Something doesn't add up here. It's all too convenient.

Are you saying 1992 and 1968 were staged?  

It's pure coincidence.  

Well to be fair, there were also riots in 1965, 1966, and 1967. While the Rodney King beating and recording took place in March 1991, there were no riots in response to the George Halliday video itself, which was played within days on LA TV station KTLA, only the subsequent acquittal more than a year later. At the time of the incident, George H.W. Bush was enjoying sky-high approval ratings in the wake of the Gulf War. Riots were also localized to LA. The speed of this thing going from video to riot in multiple cities is unusually fast.

Gasp! In a year when people are invested in changing political policy and such things are on people's minds more, people tend to react more strongly to things happening! I'm shocked that this could happen!

Right people are looting Gucci in a principled effort to change political policy. /s
