Examining The GOP Surge in the November 3rd, 2020 Presidential & Nationwide State & Local Elections

Examining The GOP Surge in the November 3rd, 2020 Presidential & Nationwide State & Local Elections,

And Lessons Learned for the January 5th, 2021 Two Runoff US Senatorial Elections in the State of Georgia -- the favorable optics-politics last-minute, pre-election extended coattails of President Donald Trump

I listen to and read the political-party and media political analysts' explanations for -- apart from the hardy Joe Biden presidential win -- the GOP surge in the 11-03-2020 US presidential and nationwide state and local elections, with them all missing a big piece of the cause for the GOP surge and the surprise big boost in the millions of [new] votes for reelection of Donald Trump as US President. That big piece in cause was that despite the period of vacillation of Trump's support for a second COVID-19-related economic stimulus package to aid US households, he eventually vocally repeatedly and consistently urged for and solicited for a substantial one in dollar amount leaning more closely to the multitrillion-dollar package proposed by Democratic Party Speaker of the US House of Representatives Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi than the circa 500-billion-dollar package, with an unacceptable, to Democrats, corporate-power entitlement of immunity from liability for business-related injury or death of employees, proposed by Senate Majority Leader US Senator Mitch McConnell. Although Trump's urged package was a smaller-dollar one, less in dollar-size than House Speaker Congresswoman Pelosi's, it offered to deliver promptly much needed extended unemployment relief compensation and household checks of $1,200.00 per spouse and single adult nationally and Trump could have politically coerced Senate Majority Leader Senator McConnell to negotiate his idea (Trump's), in weeks to days before the presidential and nationwide state and local elections, including their own bids for reelection, with House Speaker Pelosi, who also was a candidate for reelection.

However, House Speaker Congresswoman Pelosi insisted that she would not agree to a smaller stimulus package but would hold out for getting her larger-dollar one passed (legislatively), hopefully but questionably, by both houses of the US Congress (with a GOP majority in the US Senate led by oligarchical-activist and political-party hyper-partisan Senator Mitch McConnell), as only Congress by law can appropriate and legislate funds for federal government allocation and spending, with hers being an economic stimulus package far more generous and beneficial overall for the US middle and under classes, but one to which both President Trump and Senate Majority Leader McConnell were averse, which resulted in a legislative shutdown and no legislative progress and action on appropriating any COVID-19-related stimulus package for households, with 20-million workers unemployed and 12-million more facing the prospect of unemployment before upcoming New Year's Day, 01-01-2021. The idea was already circulating on social media that House Speaker Pelosi should have accepted and presented to the US House of Representatives for a proposed consensus of Democratic Party and GOP votes to pass legislatively an HR economic-package bill of Trump's proposal that Senate Majority Leader Senator Mitch McConnell would be pressured by GOP US President Trump, the GOP and the pending national elections to accept submitting to the Senate for a vote of approval, so as to get an unemployment benefits extension and household, etc., stimulus checks bank wired and mailed to households and adult citizens in general pronto, as close to immediately as possible, in advance of both imminent Thanksgiving and Christmas days. Thereinafter, Democratic Party candidates could have sincerely campaigned in major part for the 11-03-2020 elections on the commitment that with Democratic Party candidates for national elections voted in as President-Vice President and as majorities in both houses of the US Congress their first order of business, with Democrats Biden-Harris elected President-VP and with Democratic Party US Congressional candidates elected as majorities in the US bicameral Congression, upon the inauguration of Joe Biden-Kamala Harris as US President-Vice President on 01-20-2021, thereafter on that day or on the next day, together they would have been able to legislate and enact into law the ideal, complete COVID-19-related legislative economic stimulus package of House Speaker Congresswoman Pelosi, their own such package, which they could have drafted the legislation for during the interregnum period beginning after election-day and ending on inauguration day, 01-20-2021.

But the Democratic Party leaders and candidates forewent this strategy apparently to their sufferance of net losses in Congressional elective offices, so far, in the national elections of 11-03-2020, and Trump increased his allure as a source of helping outreach to an economically maximally distressed population of many millions [of voters, plus] gasping and grasping for any appreciable help, NOW, and not for the ideal deal in the foreboding, uncertain future, that could turn out any which way, even in a nothing result. In this scenario, to the concerned millions of voters the economic relief, for now, was their priority and Trump was more credible and tangible in advocating for it and in willingness to deliver it now and their ally in this regard. It is not too late for the latter part of this strategy to be campaigned on, in sincerity, by the Democratic Party candidates in the remaining runoff US senatorial elections in the state of Georgia, which if won by the Democratic Party candidates, would make for Democratic Party voting majorities in both houses of the US Congress, when the already duly-elected Democratic Party US Vice-President Kamala Harris's tie-breaking senatorial vote is added to the otherwise thereby tied in-number GOP and Democratic Party US senatorial memberships.

The concerned millions of voters, and perhaps millions of more people, face unpaid bills (including utilities in the harsh cold of winter), rents and mortgages and shortages or lack of money for sufficient food as well as transportation and medical supplies and services, etc., now and more so, including loss of housing from evictions from and foreclosures on their residences, in the coming 6 weeks, while a billionaire President and many-millions multimillionaire US Congressional leaders, with no personal financial worries, bicker and squabble about economically helping them, by this much versus that much and this or that nigh, aloof or unknown point in time, and over getting the political credit or depriving political credit to the political opponent or other political party for providing adequate, if only interim, help now. "I can't figure out why so many African American males (20%), Latinx people, [working-class] white females, whom he has a record of respectively reviling or abusing, voted for him, among others?, maybe because I have a thinking malfunction or impediment, I think."

Trump’s Failed Election Fight-Back Strategy and Game Plan

Trump’s Failed Election Fight-Back Strategy and Game Plan

(See news article The Hill@thehill· 2h#BREAKING: Trump refuses to accept Biden victory, promises legal challenges http://hill.cm/j7Fosel)

 

POTUS Donald J. Trump is a con artist who personally prides himself on being a brazen, in-your-face con man because, for him, on a win-to-lose ratio basis it is profitable for him, it is a viable business model writ large that has a high-frequency payoff for him and that sustains him quite well.

It's the core of his livelihood, stock-and-trade skillset.

 

Trump will use his transparently and absurd, to most people, false accusations of vote fraud and election stealing from him to both 1.), to try to win or pretend to try to win in and from the US Supreme Court what he lost in the democratic balloting process, by asking the US Supreme Court to disqualify the Biden-Harris winning margins of vote (Six of the 9 US Supreme Court justices are Republican conservatives and 3 of them were appointed by POTUS Trump, whose respective political-party affiliation or partisanship and [debt of] gratefulness to him, as applicable, for his appointments of them as justices on the Supreme Court, he hopes will induce or persuade them to put their partisan politics and [debt of] personal gratitude to him before the US Constitution and system of government leadership selection by election-and-balloting democracy), and 2.), to fundraise political or political-legal donations and grift, via the fake or dishonest cause of political-grievance litigation, from his voting bloc in part to do the former or pretend to do the former. (It is not illegal to publicly make [propagandistic] false allegations that are not statutorily ((by-law)) or administratively false testimony in official or sworn documents or vocally to or before designated law-enforcement personnel, including law-enforcement investigators, in courts and before justices of government courts [who require substantiation or corroboration in the form of material or circumstantial evidence or proof], so it is common for some defendants, some of their attorneys and some personally non-slanderous accusers, including Trump, politicians and lawyers, to utter such lies publicly, until they testify under oath and penalty of perjury as described.) Trump seems to use and exploit his every howl and grievance issue to fundraise and presumably to grift. He's no Gipper; he's the grifter.

 

Trump would like the US Supreme Court to rule that balloting by mail, which he has criticized as corruption and fraud fraught for the 2020 election but not for his 2016 presidential election or any election before or since it, is unconstitutional and not protected by federal Congressional statutory law, although it is authorized by state law and he and millions of US citizens, from the top through bottom of the social classes, have regularly voted by mail in the past to the present time, because, for the 11-03-2020 presidential and national elections, he and GOP leaders encouraged Republican voters to vote in person and Democratic Party leaders encouraged their voters to vote by mail, given the COVID-19 pandemic situation and as a defense against incurring it for voters, as the first voting option and in person as the second option, with the sociological voting effect of these different political party recommendations being that Republican voters dominated the in-person voting, favoring Trump-Pence, and Democratic Party voters dominated the by-mail voting, favoring Biden-Harris. However, the US Consitution grants the states the authority to make the laws governing voting procedures, providing, in view of the 14th and 19th amendments of the US Constitution and federal statutory law against racially, etc., discriminatory state laws and practices, they are equitable and their time frames for these are federally lawful [and reasonable].

 

Expectedly, his team-player (or teammate), shyster personal attorney Looney Rudy Giuliani will be on the payroll disbursement end of the fundraising for this purpose or enterprise.

 

A bit of good, pro-democracy news on the Trumpian-GOP publicly discussed strategy of alternatively securing reelection of Trump as US President through the Electoral College vote by having the state legislatures with Republican Party legislator majorities in swing states -- that the Biden-Harris presidential ticket won the popular vote majorities in, that conferred to the Biden-Harris ticket the electoral votes for those swing states -- to change their state law conferring the state's electoral votes, normally going to the majority popular-vote-winning presidential ticket, to a new law giving the state legislature the exclusive right to grant the state's electoral votes, by GOP majority vote of the GOP-dominated legislature, to whichever candidate ticket the GOP-dominated legislature arbitrarily chooses. By this change of the electoral-vote allocation in the concerned swing states with a legislature with a GOP-dominated majority, the Trump-GOP strategy was for them to give their states' electoral votes, purely GOP Political Party partisanly, to the Trump-Pence ticket, which would reelect the GOP Trump-Pence presidential ticket.

 

However, I read an article on this strategy, on a conservative online news site, that explained it was moot for this year's presidential election, year 2020, because in the 1890s the US Congress passed a law on this same issue providing, in effect and paraphrase, that any such change of state law had to be passed prior to a particular presidential election and was not retroactively applicable to a preceding election (that is, if it were passed after a given, concerned presidential election).  Moreover, the GOP-dominated legislature of the swing state of Pennsylvania, whose majority of popular presidential-candidate votes were won by the presidential-candidate ticket of Biden-Harris, was the first to publicly reject and repudiate the concerned tactic to overturn the will of the majority of voters of Pennsylvania.   The GOP-dominated legislatures of the swing states of Michigan, Nevada and Wisconsin, whose majorities of the popular votes the Biden-Harris presidential ticket won, also publicly rejected and repudiated this tactic.  Commendably, in reference to the democratic-republic form of government of the USA and its states, these GOP-dominated state legislatures thereby have safeguarded the will-of-the-majority-vote indirect democracy, via the classical Republican model of representative democracy, of the Electoral College elector votes and system of voting to elect the president of the USA, electoral votes primarily allocated on a per-state basis to the majority or plurality popular vote winner of the presidential vote of the state, of the individual states.  

(As of Friday, 11-20-2020, Trump and team are yet overtly trying to woo, personally, the leaders of the GOP legislatures in these states to subscribe to this tactic to overturn the will of the voter majority and redirect their states' presidential electoral votes to reelecting Trump as US President in the official Electoral College-vote of Monday, 12-14-2020 for electing the US President from among the presidential candidates.  Where this effort by Trump and team to woo GOP legislative leaders with legislatures dominated by Republicans in the swing states, whose majority voters voted for Biden-Harris for President-VP and earned the latter their states' electoral votes, fails to persuade them to change their electoral laws so they can arbitrarily re-allocate their states' electoral votes retroactively, vis a vis the 11-03-2020 presidential-plus elections, to the losing presidential candidates Republicans Trump-Pence, Trump and Team are tapping the RNC and concerned state Republican Parties to appeal to them to do the same or disrupt the pending vote-tally certifications, the official state end-points, of the presidential election that is precedent to the 12-14-2020 protocol, official Electoral College finalized electoral vote, predetermined based on the electoral votes won by the Biden-Harris versus the Trump-Pence presidential-VP tickets for election of the US President for 2020.  Trump, team and GOP organs are variously also imploring state-level election officials and filing frivolous lawsuits in state and federal courts to stall, stay and disrupt vote-tally certifications of the swing-state elections for President-VP won by Biden-Harris, all indicatively so there will be no state-level official vote-tally certification of a Presidential-VP winner for the concerned swing states won by Biden-Harris by 12-14-2020, the official Electoral College vote day and final vote-tally certification day for President-VP, as well as for the official Electoral College declaration of the winner, with the result that either the GOP-dominated legislatures of the concerned swing states thereby will nevertheless be [presumably lawfully] able to arbitrarily allocate their until-then officially uncertified states' electoral votes on that crucial day [to fellow Republicans Trump-Pence] or the Electoral College will not be able able to proceed with an Electoral College election on that day for US President-VP owing to a shortfall of certified vote tallies and electoral vote allocations from some states, among all 50 states of the USA, for conducting its election and officially declaring the elected US President, which might land adjudication for a remedy to the 2020 US presidential election in the jurisdiction of the US Supreme Court or the US Congress, or worse (a more divisive, socially-politically disordered, broken USA).  It also appears that they are trying concurrently to trump up and seize on an election grievance legality (legal technicality) to take the 2020 US presidential election result to trial before the US Supreme Court, in which to also argue for it to strike down, as federally unconstitutional, the Congressional law of the late 1800s outlawing the retroactive application of changes in state laws governing [the allocation of] state presidential electoral votes.) 

Meanwhile, Trump and his political team are deploying every means -- federal agency, state government, court-action, communications media, human, political figure and disinformation -- at their disposal to disparage and try to cast discredit on the validity of and invalidate and overturn the Biden-Harris election wins in the presidential-election deciding swing states.

The Political Crystal Ball of History & The Riot-Hijacked BLM Intended Peaceful Protests of Late May 2020

Viewing Through the Political Crystal Ball of History the Black Lives Matter (BLM) Crowd Protests of the Blatantly Wrongful Police Asphyziation Killing of Handcuffed and Behaviorally Passive George Floyd that Have Become Hijacked and Warped into Violence-Wracked and Looting Riots in Numerous Major US Cities
Unfortunately, the odds quite, quite possibly may have been reset by the warping of the intended peaceful Black Lives Matter crowd protests of the death of George Floyd -- handcuffed and prostrate-on-the-ground, facing-down with his head tilting sideways, and physically subdued by three assisting police officers -- who was pointlessly, except for sadistic motive, and macabrely knee-choked and asphyxiated by police officer Derek Chauvin of and in the city of Minneapolis, MN, on May 25, 2020. (Do not be smug about short-term, near-term voter polling results given that these polls are inclined to sharp and frequent volatility over the long term and that the candidates' direct-campaign politicking offensives and counteroffensives are not yet under way) The peaceful protests branched into raging violence-partying riots of arson, looting and property assault and destruction by sideshow opportunist thieves, vandals and violence revelers across numerous major cities in the USA, riot rogues and revelers assaulting, looting and destroying wholesale the property and businesses of innocent others who had nothing to do with the terrible public torture and snuff killing act by the guilty police officers, which is absolutely illogical and immoral, in addition to being inarguably gravely criminal, and has no justification for or justice to it, destroying their investments and destroying and disrupting their commerce services and products, and the rentals and jobs they provided in the affected communities and turning the ravaged and devastated community areas into destruction-fallout, development-no-go zones and wastelands. Indeed they reflected themselves to be protest-venue-and-event opportunist tag-alongs and bystanders of loitering, lurking-in-wait and double-dealing vandals, burglars, robbers, run-of-the-mill, everywhere, commonplace, ordinary thieves and violence partiers, as well as irresistibly likely included an all-you-can-get, freebie bingo-time flood of muggers, shoplifters, purse-snatchers, pickpockets, smash-and-grab dashers and gangbangers, all eager to pounce, plunder, batter and destroy in their disguises under cover of darkness and the smokescreen of numerous [police-response distracting and diversionary] fires and conflagrations set in part by their [diversionary] arson, initiated by white anarchists and agents provocateur (probably some black ones too on occasion) who psychologically incite and unleash them into action by initiating the vandalism and anarchy, kind of like shark hunters dumping bloody meat into shark-infested waters and sending the sharks into a feeding frenzy.
(I read all of the writing of Black Muslim, Nation of Islam founder Elijah Muhammad, as well as much of the writings of Martin Luther King Jr., Franz Fannon, and WEB DuBois and other Black American and Africa thinkers, scholars and leaders, in my independent reading in high school and my early college years, among whom Elijah Muhammad, unimpressive and fringe to me, made a memorable remark, that has come to haunt me as a personal observation of mine, in his saying that he was a messenger to scripturally "a 'foolish people,' the lost and found people of ..." His famous follower the repeated champion heavyweight-boxer flamboyant Muhammad Ali I once read memorable words of in, to the best of my recall, a citation from an old Ebony Magazine, germane to this reference "foolish people," that roughly to the effect were "Until black people are uplifted mentally and spiritually, everywhere they go they will carry the slum ((a morally substandard or repugnant mentality)) with them and turn everywhere they go into a slum," in the misbehavioral sense. Socially and politically, there is the problem for us from without and within: we need to acknowledge and be mindful of this, and remedy it therapeutically and spiritually.) The reset odds, by these events, would revive the hitherto failing candidacy and campaign of incumbent POTUS Trump for reelection to the US Presidency. Previously, like riots made Richard Nixon US president and Ronald Reagan governor of California, with that legacy contributing to making Reagan a US president later, too. Both law-and-order-identity Republicans successfully politically exploited like riots of their political careerism times. The only credible solution to preventing the reelection of POTUS Trump is for us and our elected and informal leaders to separate ourselves in direct words and loud voices from such community immorality, violence and destruction in mentality and conduct, and their acolytes, and reject and condemn them all, as well as incessantly to call for and try to put a permanent stop to it lawfully and peacefully, and vote to the maximal extent that we can.

Our collectively active voting power (voter and vote power) is our strongest and most pragmatic social-political change-agent power, as well as such peace/ful power.
We must not further give POTUS Trump a viable path to reelection as US President on November 3rd of 2020. Please, let us exercise our smarts. I will no longer argue with rationalizers and arguers in support of riots and looting (their rationale being, among other analogous arguments, "...because they ((the looters)) are taking what they need, don't have and cannot afford and because the Wall Street investors and banks looted the American people and econcomy and were not criminally prosecuted but were bailed out of financial collapse with taxpayer money and given big tax cuts, and what they did was not called looting..." which is self-justification specious sociopathic, criminal-values-mode reasoning [citing as justification for their ((the looters')) wrongs the successful or escaped-from-justice criminal and morally reprehensible wrongs of others] characteristic of some articulate white-collar thieves as well of some articulate swindlers, murderers, war-criminals, rapists, pedophiles, etc., that they use to try to excuse or downplay the gravity of their crimes) as well as with those who disruptively punish, or justify punishing, the lives or activities of persons and entities not parties to transgressions against others (in paraphrase of their argument for disrupting and punishing nonparticipants: "because, in the case of government and the police, they [pay taxes that] support civil or government systems and because they are not our political activists, essentially taking orders from us," taxes which almost all of us must and do pay, if only sales taxes also from the poorest and homeless of us, when we buy something from law-abiding vendors). They are ignorant and mistaken in asserting that the business-casualty victims have business insurance that will restore their businesses or compensate them for their business loss or losses because they have to have it to be in business -- no, anybody can go into business in the USA (a business is a self-employment job in which operators offer services and/or products for sale) and most business owners depend on the business net-income, for most small businesses being modest to subsistence net-income (take-home, personal income), from their business to pay their personal essential living expenses, and many small business operators do not have and cannot afford business-related insurance/s and risk operating without it and those who do have it normally have to pay substantial deductibles for limited-in-coverages casualty losses; they only need by law to register and license their businesses with government business authorities appropriate for their type of business and pay their business-related publication, registration and license fee and annual renewal license fees as well as periodically, as prescribed by law, report their business income and expenses and pay their various business-related taxes to the appropriate government tax agencies.

     As a consequence of the riot-violence-and-destruction hijacking of the current BLM crowd protests, businesses large to small will again flee riot-devastated black communities and have deaf ears to investing in them from the pleas to do so of black and liberal white politicians and social-economic egalitarian economists and academicians. If there is rebuilding in the vandalized, looted and burned-out commercial zones, it will be for in-your-face buy-low and sell-high gentrification of the devastated areas with the population replacement, over time, largely of the current black population. The attraction of mainstream corporate and other white business development and operations in black communities in Minnesota was to the positive and thriving non-white business environment established by Arabs, South Asians and Somalis/immigrant Africans, etc., highly entrepreneurial and numerous such people in the major cities there, many of whom too have lost their businesses and are depressed, angry and financially stranded and at wits-end now -- insurance will mainly or only cover the losses of the big corporate chain businesses (which may afford to be and be self insured, as there may be no riot-casualty insurance or the cost and deductible/s for it may be extreme and unaffordable except for high-wealth businesses, given insurance company losses and aversion to offering it from past black community riots), big businesses which will take cash reimbursements and not rebuild there but are leaving, and one or more has/have so said in the press. White and non-black people will not want black families, especially any but clearly the most respectful-respectable ones in token numbers, residing in their communities and resent us visiting or shopping in their communities, and our present largely black communities, in which the business predation and destruction took place, will not, for the most part, have supermarkets, department stores and fast-food or proprietory eateries at which to shop and buy, forcing the people in them, and the riot rogues among them, to go to other, outside communities to meet their shopping needs.  This same set of post-riot circumstances applies to the black communities of numerous other cities that subsequently have similarly suffered the same source of riot-related property casualties. 

     Contrary to the pronunciations by the eloquent, shallow-minded rock-the-mic and sociopathic speechmakers, like TM, addressing some protest audiences (live or through the broadcast media) and excusing the property destruction ["other peoples' property destruction," not theirs and that of their relatives and friends] as an okay or necessary message to America or US authorities that lives matter more than property [destruction and looting], such a comparison and concocted, false conflict of priorities is unreasonably and unnecessarily and insanely made and is idiotic, specious sociopathic reasoning in that property hella matters too and provides for families and all other people shelter and heat when it's cold and cooling when it's too-hot via indoors air conditioning; indoor lighting and electrical power outlets for appliances and electronic wares; baths, showers and sinks for personal hygiene and disease control; kitchen sinks for washing our food, dishes and other other dining and cooking utensils and ware for disease and sickness control, kitchen cabinets and refrigerators for storing our food and cooking ranges for cooking it; clothing washers and dryers for washing our dirty clothes and drying them for cleanliness and disease control; toilets for our multiply daily biologically-compulsory defecating and urinating for health maintenance and disease control; bedrooms for our resting and sleeping, with closets for storing our clothes; and garage or parking space for keeping our personal transportation vehicles.  Furthermore, business property is a resource for engaging in commerce and earning a living, as well as for educating and skills training, plus.  Whether they are business or residential buildings, people pay a large or the major portion of their income/earnings to rent or buy, by mortgage installment payments, them.  When their property, whether owned or rented, is destroyed they are deprived of their property use and its services, its previous environment and the offering of its environment, until they are accorded, as a partial substitute, temporary compensatory accommodations, if they have property-casualty insurance and it covers property casualty from rioting, which is questionable.  Nevertheless, insurance companies can justifiably substantially increase property insurance rates for the riot-assaulted communities. 

     The property and looting victims are not dispensible casualty pawns of rhetorical strangers and political sociopaths who would use them as a symbolic sacrifice, destroying or smashing their investments and taking away and wreaking havoc on their shelters, to make a symbolic political statement.   Those public speakers who justify, excuse and implicitly, or worse, promote riots and riot violence, destruction and looting should be sued penniless by victims for their abetting and incitement of the property-crime perpetrators, perhaps in class-action lawsuits, and be financially boycotted and sanctioned (in access to renting or buying a residence ((including a hotel-suite or room rental)) or vehicle, getting a loan or credit, or a bank or credit union account, or phone service, or sports-stadium, restaurant, concert, nightclub, bar or liquor-store admittance or service, etc.), by the whole economic system, black, other minorities and, of course, white, for a lifetime.  State AGs or municipal DAs should also prosecute and obtain court-ordered financially compensatory judgments for the riot-related property-casualty victims against the arrested and convicted riot-involved vandals, arsonists, assailants and looters of the destroyed and assaulted property.  Property is economics and personal economics, which is survival, standard of living and quality of life. 

     We must not participate in or condone any violence, arson, vandalism, looting or destruction or defacement against or of the property of others, especially others who had no specific involvement in the police or otherwise institutional or vigilante violence perpetrated against unarmed and physically nonconfrontational, noncombative black people, guilty or innocent of a prevailing crime or its absence.  If a political rally and march organizer-and-activist African-American-woman firebrand speaker, an African-American female attorney or African-American Congresswoman, in live public speeches or in the broadcast media (radio, TV, social media video/s), condones such conduct in association with Black Lives Matter protest events and tries to justify it as due payback and collateral damage on the part of the perpetrators in carrying out payback for the violence against and economic exploitation of black people and other racial and ethnic minorities by white supremacists or people over their history in the USA or as okay in taking what they need or as okay or necessary for getting political attention for their grievance/s, be leery of them and politely or privately shun her message.  Their such rhetoric, being parrotted by some ordinary folks, including articulate adolescents and young adults in the broadcast media, prods or incites a violence and criminal sideshow alongside the publicly and politically staged protest events of BLM and could seriously dishonor, discredit and politically undermine the public messaging and peaceful protest public events of BLM while poisoning relations between black communities, BLM and many peaceful white people and communities of goodwill as well as induce tensions, conflict and grievance between BLM and black people who are economically invested as homeowners, motor-vehicle owners and business owners as well as employed workers and shoppers in the communities assaulted by the sideshow attackers.  Whereas they say that the riots, anarchy and property-destruction sideshows to the BLM protests brought necessary attention to the BLM protests, it really was the viewing of the viral video by people across the world on social media of the wholly unwarranted, senseless, sadistic and callous killing of face-down and thus prostrate George Floyd with his hands handcuffed behind his back and him being slowly asphyxiated to death by a police officer that outraged the world, and it was this and the peaceful BLM protests themselves, despite the sideshow short-term riots and anarchy, that attracted national and world sympathy and support for George Floyd and the BLM protests of his murder by a killer cop and linked protests of a very long series of similar shocking deaths of unarmed and non-combative black people by police.  They are also delivering or pushing the minority black people of the USA in the direction of a pretextual civil-unrest state of emergency and declaration of martial law by largely unConstitutional, unscrupulous and eccentric POTUS Donald Trump and the wishful new civil war and race war against black Americans that part of Trump's constituency openly calls for, in a nation in which white people remain the 60%-plus majority and dominate the police and armed forces overall by circa 70% to 70%-plus.  There are even flanks of pro-Trump, openly armed white vigilante militiamen standing by and onlooking at some of the BLM rallies, as though they are waiting and ready, given a BLM event riot itself, to militarily support police anti-riot action and start shooting the BLM participants -- not vigilante shooting of the sideshow arsonists, looters, etc. -- and initiating their wishful race war, new US civil war.  These three public speakers are either strategically naive or death-wish (unbeknownst to themselves consciously), terrible strategic thinkers. 

     Black Property Matters, Too!; Everybody's Property Matters!  And so do the black lives matter of those killed in an epidemic of killings by our fellow black people and white and other vigilantes throughout the USA, in addition to the egregious problem of police killings of particularly unarmed black people and black people who do not pose a clear and present armed and confrontational danger to law-enforcement persons or others, an epidemic that gets no or little visible protest and problem-solving attention and action from any social improvement or justice movement, as is the case with particularly the problem of school and workplace gun violence and all other forms of violence thereat in the USA (about which POTUS Trump and the GOP majority of the US Senate put gun manufacturer, seller, buyer and owner rights and interest above the lives of the citizenry, including society's innocent children and adolescents), that have become epidemic until the COVID-19 pandemic mass-sheltering and quarantine.  We need continuous, annually, ethics or morality interpersonal, social conduct and respectfulness education and training, including others' perspective, victim and transgressor, role-play training, at all levels of school, in all public and private institutions and on the job. 

I have in mind only one proven and eminently successful strategy model for the achievement of positive and constructive political-social change, or evolution, for African Americans/Black Americans to recommend for guidance and emulation, which is the civil-rights leadership example and strategically intelligent and peaceful model of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. of the 1960s. Were it not for Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his leadership of high mindedness, sound, moral reasoning and peace and intelligent peaceful strategy and means for civil rights and social-political change, there would be no "semblance" of equal opportunity employment, equal opportunity education, nondiscriminatory voting rights, nondiscriminatory housing and access to public accommodations, which became law in the 1960s, and the bulk of us legally, by legal racial discrimination, would not be allowed to do anything other than the most menial work and would not even be able to work at or buy from or eat at a McDonald's Restaurant. The social benefits of his leadership extended to all other marginalized minorities and people: Hispanics, Native Americans, Asians of all kinds, women, homosexuals, etc. Also, remember that the racist faction or streak in white Americans, of North and South America, annihilated the Native American population by 130,000,000 to between circa 14,000,000+/- to 7,000,000+/- or less by 1691 ("By 1691, the population of indigenous Americans had declined by 90-95 percent, or by around 130-million people. According to geographers from University College London, the colonization of the Americas by Europeans killed so many people it resulted in climate change and global cooling," source is Wikipedia), reduced in the USA during the anti-Indian Wars of the 1800s from between an estimated 5,000,000 and 15,100,000 to 238,000 by the late 1800s (source is History.com) and then largely interned them, the survivors, on Indian reservations; they burned down Chinatowns of the USA, passed the [Anti-]Asian [Immigration] Exclusion Act of 1924, interned virtually the entire Japanese Population of the USA during WWII; forcefully deported between 300,000 and 1,300,000 Mexican-heritage residents of the US under the Eisenhower Presidency in the 1950s, including unknown numbers of these who were Mexican-American US citizens. Black-Americans/African-Americans, we are a modest-sized racial minority in the US and no other racial minority has civically or publicly collectively supported our civil-rights causes and most don't care to be our neighbors (rationally so given our history of rioting and riot-looting, whereas no other minorities riot-loot and burn down their communities and businesses), be our employers or do business with us and prefer association with racist whites over us until the white racists turn on them. That dangerous and monstrous faction or mentality of white people enslaved us and colonized our ancestral homelands and mass murdered each other, and among themselves, in Europe and Turkey during WW-I and WW-II and many times before then.
