Think about Republican Presidents since the late 1960s and the riots/mass demonstrations/civil unrest that plagued all of their terms:
Nixon: Anti-War riots, Kent State, “Days of Rage,” Weather Underground bombings.
Ford: Other than the NYC blackout riots (which were not really political in nature), no equivalent events in a very short term, but 2x nearly successful assassination attempts.
Reagan: “No Nukes,” 1 x almost successful assassination attempt.
H.W. Bush: “No Blood for Oil,” Rodney King Riots.
W. Bush: “No Blood for Oil," Code Pink and assorted similar orgs that immediately got silent about war when a Democrat was in office.
Trump 45: BLM Riots, Antifa.
Trump 47: 2x nearly successful assassination attempts, Antifa, Pro-Illegal Alien Riots, Anti-ICE operations.
Yes, there has been some unrest under Democrats—think Occupy Wall Street. However, Obama and the Democrats were actually sympathetic to OWS.
It is a very predictable pattern that when a Republican becomes President, Democrats will engage their NGOS, “non-profits” and brownshirt goons to create civil unrest. Every time they do this, the refrain is: “See, if X were not President, these riots would not be happening. Elect Democrats if you want peace and normality."
It’s like an abusive husband saying “Honey, if you only acted better you wouldn’t make me punch you.”
It’s like a Mafioso saying “Sayyy… nice store ya got here. Would be a big shame if it burned down.”
It’s extortion. It’s Democrats telling America: “If you vote for us the pain will stop.”
IT’S EXTORTION.
