Politico: Democrats Divide On Los Angeles Anti-ICE Riots

No, swing voters in Purple States which Trump won in 2024 on his anti-woke mass deportations platform are going to see this and be impressed by this uprising against “fascism.”

Politico:

“SAN FRANCISCO — Gavin Newsom has rallied Democrats in his war with Donald Trump, casting it as a fight for the future of American democracy. But maybe not for long.

As the left watches the clashes in Los Angeles drag on — with images of burning vehicles and protesters brawling with law enforcement proliferating — Democrats are also beginning to fear the imagery could hurt them by highlighting Trump’s hardline positions on immigration that helped propel him to the White House.

“It’s a winner for him. Remember, for (Trump), it’s not California, it’s not Massachusetts, it’s not New York — it’s that slim margin in the battleground states that he’s playing for,” said Kevin de León, the former Democratic leader of the California state Senate. “He’s not going to pull back.”

For Democrats, it’s a concern rooted in Trump’s historic strength on immigration with voters not in Los Angeles, but watching on social media and TV in swing states and districts across the country. …”

I see the White House is already cutting the highlights of the riots into polarizing 2026 attack ads which reinforce tried and true themes of the ongoing backlash that worked in the last two elections: open borders, violent Antifa, effeminate soyboy urbanites, woke madness, socialism, etc.

2026 won’t be like 2020. The “mainstream media” has collapsed. Television audiences are shrinking. Alternative media is growing. Boomers are declining in the electorate. A growing share of the electorate, which isn’t watching cable television, is forming their political opinions based on social media clips, memes, images and what they are going to see is a bunch of freaks who reinforce stereotypes.

  2. Republicans and Republican policy were losing well into 2023. People were seriously souring on Trump, who remained grossly unpopular after j6 and then the 2022 midterms embarassment, and abortion was wiping the floor with the pro-life statutes. Gaza changed everything.

  4. When protesters peacefully express their opinions, their right to free speech should be respected.

    When rioters engage in vandalism, arson and assault, they should be arrested and prosecuted.

    In 2020, Antifa criminals should have been arrested and prosecuted – if the statute of limitations has not expired on their offenses, they should still be arrested and prosecuted.

    The same goes for the anti-ICE rioters right now. If they assault federal law enforcement officers, or commit arson or vandalism against federal buildings, they should be arrested by federal law enforcement and prosecuted by federal prosecutors.

    Trump lost in 2020 because he was weak. On the advice of Sean Hannity, he let Antifa run wild. They broke federal laws, they assaulted federal officers and vandalized federal buildings and ran wild in Washington DC, yet he did not arrest or prosecute them. He can’t afford to make the same mistake now.

    On the other hand, “antisemitism” is not a crime. The pro-Palestinian anti-genocide protesters of 2023-2025 were strictly non-violent, and yet Trump unleashed a wave of persecution against them.

    What message is sent when violent Antifa are allowed to run wild, while at the same time there is a crackdown against peaceful anti-genocide protesters?

  5. ‘Television audiences are shrinking…..’

    You mean the (((twisted narrative))) is evaporating?

  6. The AWACs have been sent up into Turkish airspace, preparing for the attack on Iran. Your guy is ordering Americans out of the region. The White House Jews are saying the attack is only days away. Do remember that you said people that said there will be an attack on Iran are “fools”. That particular post will not age well.

    Meanwhile we are supposed to be outraged at the Los Angeles riots, which are happening
    exactly 33 years after the last Los Angeles
    riots, in 1992. They are nothing but a distraction, as Zog is building Skynet through its build back better abomination, and executes the attack on Iran, while denying they are even doing it!! Israel did it, they will say, using our AWACs, our satellites, our Patriots, our Iron Dome system, our planes, our missiles, but it wasn’t us!!!

    Probably they will do it on Trinity Sunday, and Trump will love it. That Chabad Jew wants us all dead.

  8. Grown soyboys crying……is there a more pathetic sight? He’s the left summed up in one…..err, person.
    The Left and humans will never agree on illegals. Red states and rainbow states will never agree.
    And…..if you make California Mexican, every Mexican living there will then cross the border into Oregon and Washington, for a better life.

  10. The NGO’s, etc., funding the “protests” and violence need to have their assets frozen immediately. Is Trump doing this?

    • If the fed is worth anything it would investigate CA elections and we will be told what we have known for decades. That CA is a focal point of subversion. 30 years of one party rule via uniparty (CA GOP liberal AF) and judicial fiat, allowing illegal aliens to vote, snuffing out so-called “democracy” that these eye-rolling retards always blather about.

    • No he’s running a TACO stand at the AIPAC convention. He can’t wait for Satanyahoo’s next appearance before congress. Maybe they can all stand and applaud endlessly for over an hour.

  11. World Revolution is about to begin in the US, if it is successful they will move to take the other lands that have been in cultural revolution. The collapse phase of the current cultural revolution where the people are left with socialism as the only option is approaching.

  12. Who is organizing these No Kings protests? Is it just some guys starting up Telegram groups and adding every beaner they know until it spreads, doubt it.

    Its obvious that the next 3-1/2 years are going to be White Boy Summer/Christmas, but if Trump wants to make a lasting impact beyond his 4 years he needs to go after the NGO’s and shadow groups, which I am confident he will do in his own time. Even if he doesn’t, it’s just so satisfying for a nice change to watch those crying brown faces of impotent rage on the screen.

    • Video description:

      “Do not say that you feel ‘foreign in your own country’! Such a statement can make you a target for the Office for the Protection of the Constitution, as they see it as an extreme right-wing slogan. Roland Tichy addresses precisely this topic in this ‘State of the Nation’. He analyzes how migration, cultural shifts and language bans are changing our society, the public sphere and social cohesion.

      Tichy describes the consequences of uncontrolled migration, which threaten citizens and migrants alike. Many of those who once fled to Germany to escape oppression and religious extremism now feel threatened by it again.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roland_Tichy
