Wow. Around 48 years ago leftists spit on returning servicemembers, and rioted at the democrat convention.
And perhaps not coincidentally the democrats lost the next 4 of 5 presidential elections (Ford's Nixon pardon is often attributed to his defeat by Carter). Twice each for Nixon and Reagan, L:aw & Order played an important role, in their victories.
Apparently the left is blind and tone deaf to that bit of their own history, or too self-absorbed to grasp the import of such simple things.
Image contributes greatly to perception, much more than detailed policy-wonk stuff.
These are the people that got free-breakfasts and lunches in school, now want free college?
Who works to pay the taxes to fund all that? Non-college graduate whites, deplorables, that is who.
