Schumer's Silence on Protest Definition

  • πŸ¦— Chuck Schumer was notably silent when pressed by reporters asking what Democrats mean by "peaceful protests," leading to accusations of being an "embarrassing fraud."
  • πŸ’‘ This silence is contrasted with Mayor Eric Adams's warning that NYPD will crack down on any riots in New York City, indicating a divergence in approach.

Devastating Democratic Approval Polls

  • πŸ“‰ A poll from a left-wing outlet reveals the Democratic party has plummeted to a 21% approval rating, with 70% of the nation disapproving.
  • πŸ“Š This marks the second time in recent months Quinnipiac has shown such low approval, suggesting a significant public backlash.
  • πŸ“° The legacy media is criticized for not highlighting this poll, in contrast to how similar disapproval for Republicans would be covered.

Media Credibility Crisis

  • πŸ“Ί 63% of likely voters believe the media deliberately covered up and lied about Biden's cognitive and physical decline over the past four years.
  • 🚫 This erosion of trust means the public is largely ignoring Democratic and media narratives, including those about protests.

Internal Democratic Criticism of Protests

  • πŸ—£οΈ Even left-wing commentators like Jen Psaki are admitting that the optics of recent riots are disastrous for Democrats.
  • 🚩 Critics argue that actions like burning American flags are counterproductive and alienate potential supporters, playing directly into Trump's narrative.
  • 🎯 These protests are seen as hurting the Democrats' own cause rather than advancing it.

Public Support for Trump's Actions

  • πŸ“ˆ Polls indicate overwhelming public support for Trump's actions in response to the unrest, with a near 2:1 ratio favoring his approach.
  • 🚫 The narrative that Trump's actions are counterproductive is dismissed, with evidence suggesting the public backs his firm stance.
  • πŸ“‰ Unlike the summer of 2020, current protests lack cultural traction and are widely perceived as violent and damaging, not peaceful.
