(7,216 posts)Any minor gains made following the Floyd protests have been completely clawed back by the MAGA backlash, with the help of many middle-of-the-roaders. Within the next two years, Trump will even figure out a way to spring Chauvin, likely by fixing the Minnesota governors race.

(17,761 posts)there are thousands in the streets in Mpls. right now, along with NY, and other states and cities,
this is, IMO, a Kent State/George Floyd moment and its only going to get worse as puppy killer Noem and Trumpedo continue to outright lie despite what the numerous videos show.

MarineCombatEngineer
(17,761 posts)I get the sense that this is the tipping point, even my RW trucking buddies are saying this is murder.
The best thing Trumpedo could do right now is fire Noem, stop ICE and address the nation to wait and see what the investigation reveals, but we all know he won't do that because he is such a narcissistic asshole.
