The Defeat-Harris, Get-Trump Politics of Protest
Make no mistake, that’s the ultimate logic of the pro-Palestinian activists at the DNC.
One month ago, an NBC News headline reported:
Protesters made a tiny footprint at the RNC in Milwaukee.
Other than a modest daytime march on Monday afternoon, the first day of the Republican National Convention, there were virtually no protests over the event’s four days and nights.
Obviously, the story from the Democratic National Convention in Chicago is already proving different.
This is part of a pattern. Gather any large number of Democrats together, in almost any city or state, whether at rallies, fundraisers, or presidential appearances, and pro-Palestinian protesters will try to wreck the event. These actions have been building to threats of outright violence. Pro-Trump and Republican events, meanwhile, are almost always left in peace.
