Election

The 2020 summer riots started by the George Floyd murder took place in 68 major cities and property damage was in the billions along with 19 who died. As the country approached the November election the press began reporting that if Trump lost there would be some kind of rebellion. The election was in early November and the press waited with baited breath but nothing happened. Then came December and still nothing. Finally January 6 arrived and a collective sign of relief swooned through the democratic elites. A large crowd gathered at the Capital and about 2,500 people entered the building at 2 PM swinging clubs, pipes and flags and attacked some of the police. One person was killed. It was an unarmed women protester who was shot by a police officer. Many police received various injuries none of which was life threatening. By 6 PM the riot was over and many were arrested but most just went home. Some of the offices were vandalized. This episode has been in the news on a regular basis and is a central part of this year's campaign. The democrats had hoped this would be a critical part of their campaign against Trump but time has past and other issues have taken center stage. The plan to make election about Trump has now changed to making the election about Biden.
