RE: Are the protests going to ultimately boost Trump?

How did Sarah Palin work out?
WTF does that have to do with 2020? For that matter, WTF does Sarah Palin have to do with Nikki Hailey?
That was McCain's quota pick. It didn't work.
Back to the original question. Riots have turned into a big plus for Trump. He's viewed as wanting them to end. Dems are viewed as promoting them. It could have been a negative to the incumbent, but the Dems have turned it into a positive for President Trump.
Still not sure how the virus impacts things.
The most redeeming feature about the left is that they never know when to Shut Up since they don't have natural governors to tell them when others are offended, and they don't know when to stop so they always exceed the public's tolerance levels. This is why they are frequently called extremists. If they ever learned how not to overreach they would be even more dangerous.
That's because they tend to live in bubbles surrounded by people who think the same as them. Literally everyone they know is telling them that they're right.
Republicans have a good idea of what the other side ACTUALLY thinks because we hear it all the time from the media, Hollywood, and our neighbors who vote Democrat. But the people who run the Democratic party (and the media egging them on) are all clustered together in a few cities. Every major news organization and almost every Democratic leader of the past 15 years (Pelosi, Schumer, Harris, Clinton, Kaine, Kerry, Edwards, and Obama) all live in huge counties that voted over 75% for Clinton. Biden and Harry Reid are the only exceptions since 2000, and even they've spent most of the past few decades living in DC, which voted 93% for Clinton.
Even within those counties, Democrats are more highly clustered than Republicans.
I had a friend in San Diego who told me I was the first Republican he'd ever met. In San Diego! A county that Obama only won by 7 points! It's also funny because I've voted Libertarian in the last 2 Presidential elections, but that's close enough for him.
