’m guessing the Democrats’ internal polling on the current rioting and protesting is looking really bad, because the New York Times this morning declares a five-alarm fire with this new story (I’ve bolded some revealing bits of the reportage):
How Chaos in Kenosha Is Already Swaying Some Voters in Wisconsin
Don Biehn, 62, owner of a flooring company, was standing in line at a gun store on Tuesday afternoon. He said that he had never bought a pistol before, but that he had a business to protect. A former county board supervisor, Mr. Biehn said he had been calling county and state officials for days, trying to explain how grave the situation was. . .
He added: “It’s chaos — everybody is afraid.†Mr. Trump, he said, “was not my man,†but now he is grateful he is president. He said he seemed to understand in a way that other politicians did not. “There’s nobody fighting back,†he said. “Nobody is paying attention to what’s going on.†. . .
Priscella Gazda, a waitress at a pizza restaurant in Kenosha, . . . said she had voted only once in her life — for Mr. Obama in 2008.
“I’m not the one who would ever vote,†she said. But after the chaos in her town, this year is different. “I am going to vote for Trump,†she said. “He seems to be more about the American people and what we need.â€
I’m guessing this story has ruined a lot of breakfasts today for Times readers, and will cause a lot of canceled subscriptions. The Times isn’t supposed to bring its readers unpleasant news like this.
