Come November, are they going to hurt or help him?



Most of the really bad shit is going down in democrat controlled urban centers, not really sure what impact if any this will have on lets just say finicky voters in swing states.

Mostly helps Trump, if it was more like Flint where it's all churched up and not violent, it may have hurt Trump.

These will have about as much impact on election day as impeachment. There will be like seven news cycles of this size between now and November. There's a whole fucking hurricane season incoming.

Neither, but his reaction or lack thereof is definitely hurting him.

I would say that they're overall helping him a little bit. I know some people who were firmly anti-Trump just a few weeks ago but are now starting to support him because of how well he's handled the situation.

No idea, for me it's definitely hurt him. But I don't matter since my vote is not in a swing state.

Neither.

Most voters decided on which party they were going to vote for every time as long as they live years and years ago.

In what way is he handling the situation? He's shut up longer than ever before in his whole fucking career.

The more economic damage is done by the riots, the better it is for Trump.

I like to think it's hurting him among non-cultists, who are either increasingly concerned over his inflammatory rhetoric in the face of obvious and widespread police brutality, or see him as a little bitch hiding in his bunker while all this is going down. But ultimately there's only one correct answer to this question:

Don't see how, economy was the only thing he had going for him and he fucked it up.

Neither. The riots are happening in liberal cities that were already going to vote against him.

He might get some reaffirmed support from the "law and order" crowd.

Probably the best thing he can do tbh.

"These people, very fine people, the best. You have the best people, and they're doing the best job. And there's fires and stuff, and they're very good fires. Fires do bad things but if they're good at doing bad things, they're good at being bad. And since bad is what they're supposed to be, that makes them good fires. Very good fires, the best."

Uh exactly. He had the economy angle. People will remember that. He'll play up that angle, talking about how he had a record economy going, before it was ruined by outside forces.

When people pick through the ashes of their burnt down businesses and homes, they won't blame Trump. They'll blame the people who did the burning. And they'll see him taking a hardline stand against them, as well as pointing to his record economy as proof he's the man to fix it.

This is my concern. It's all nice to blame systematic problems, but your average voter especially in those swing states will only see wanton rioting and looting.

Both. Anyone with the slightest sympathy to the republicans will rally that direction.

the protests help Trump because it shows how life would be under Democratic leadership. Point being...there is none. Total anarchy.

Additionally any owner that just lost their business due to rioting or COVID lockdowns will never vote Democrat again.

No, in situations like these the question becomes who can bring peace? Neither Trump nor Biden, so it's an open question.

trump has no control over state law enforcement. why do people not understand this...if the minnesota governor and its city mayors are ordering all LEOs to stand down and let the rioting commence, Trump can't do anything. And even when he sends in the National Guard you guys are like "aha see! tyrant!" He can't win in your eyes.

I think the research indicates riots help conservative candidates, so if anything I suspect that. But I think overall it will have small impact either way

What does that have to do with what you said, though? He's the Republican leadership. This happened under him. You're not making any sense.
