@ridew3072 : There are certainly hard-core Marxists who revel in chaos. They're probably no more numerous than the highly-over-reported boogeyman of right-wing white supremacists. Nevertheless, Marxist ideology HAS infiltrated our education system, whether by design or otherwise. Personally, I think that people already crossed the philosophical Rubicon of state-centric solutions for any and all ills of humanity, which is indistinguishable from morally bankrupt socialist ideology...
... an ideology written in Bohemian excess by spoiled trust-fund hippies who squandered the family fortunes handed to them, and spent their entire adult lives whining about what they thought they had coming to them, and NEVER, despite being well-educated and not disabled in any way, TOOK more from the world than they ever put into it. NOT the kinds of people you listen to if you want to get anything worthwhile accomplished. They're the drunks who sit and watch you dig a ditch, tell you you're doing it all wrong, and complain because they're out of whisky, and expect you to go get them more.

Andy Jackson used half the Indian tribes against the other half, and then destroyed the tribes who fought by his side. I can see wanting to tear down his statue. But PUT IT TO THE PEOPLE. Don't just run roughshod over everyone in an orgy of outrage. That never ends well.
I think Obama said more to divide than unite. But the thing that's got everybody so worked up - police shootings - went down enormously between 2000 and 2020. Down by something like 50%. Tremendous progress. But more anger and resentment. I think people are missing the point, and scapegoating law enforcement, when law enforcement is only a symptom of underlying structural problems, by which I do NOT mean racism.
"Stop and frisk" is an authoritarian solution that is not going to win Trump (m)any undecideds. He's trying to oppose chaos, but that's not the way. Instead, he needs to ask why there's so much incentive for a kid to be holding guns or drugs in the first place. Law enforcement's in a losing guerrilla war with it own communities. It's no surprise that they are viewed as an occupying force in so many communities. He needs to ask himself why those communities are war zones. Much of it lies in the law, itself.
Anyway, touting Giuliani's stop-and-frisk is a pretty tone-deaf campaign tactic. He's appealing to his base, but he whiffed on the undecideds, like an inside fast ball.
