SourceDo today’s pandemic, economic slump, and massive urban violence therefore doom President Trump? Will voters again turn on the incumbent? That is far from certain. Voters in 1968 and 1980 were not turning against only the incumbent but also against Democrats, against the party of the Left. In their anguish, they looked to the party that promised law, order, and a return to normalcy.
Does anyone cleareyed really think Republicans rather than Democrats are most associated with today’s crises? Look at antifa and the property-is-theft mob — are they on the Left or Right? Is it Republicans or Democrats who want to perpetuate a job-destroying economic shutdown and who equivocate about political violence? Which mayors and governors support the protests and take a hands-off approach to the protection of property? It’s Democrats. And liberals consistently parrot critical race theory to semijustify destruction as legitimate protest.
Joe Biden speaks against “needless destruction,” but Trump calls out “thugs,” which probably strikes a chord with voters who are dismayed by what they see happening to America. Biden utters bromides about tackling “systemic racism,” but almost everyone knows that America is less racist now than ever before, and his words, downplaying the truth about improvement, weakly echo the irredeemable hostility of America’s detractors.
Trump presides over our current crises and has done so in a characteristically incoherent and self-centered manner, but it would be no surprise if nationwide yearning for an end to unrest, for the protection of property, and for economic revival put him back into the Oval Office for another four years.
