All of these of course are a direct consequence of proving that reality tv is an acceptable way to earn and run a presidency.

So when slate praises BLM for looting and riots, we pin the blame on Trump and take this as confirmation of the prediction that a Trump presidency would be damaging? cc

I think it's pretty clear that BLM and how people responded was a direct reaction to Trump (although it could be argued they both had a common cause, it's pretty clear that if a less extreme president was in office, BLM would have looked very different)

BLM did the same stuff (like committing random murder of cops) when Obama was president minus like 90% of the looting and arson b/c of the calming influence of Obama? What it looks like is turning up the anarcho-tyranny pain because voters didn't vote how they were supposed to.

This is "kick the dog until he bites, then shoot him" not "widening of the Overton window". If riots and burning cities down doesn't get the bite needed to justify shooting the dog, something else will be tried.

So, you're saying trumps extremism was a reaction to BLM? I think certainly there was a feedback loop here but Trump started the escalation, and opened that Overton window.

Here's the actual situation. Lots of blacks go to prison Blacks commit *massively* disproportionate amounts of crime (still understated by official stats) Weirdly the Overton window only includes "fewer blacks should go to jail" as a response.

More importantly, Trump didn't open the Overton Window here. It's the same as it was in 2014. The Overton Window on this issue is that police are bad and racist and blacks are innocent and helpless victims.

Trying to point out the weirdness of the Overton window there and how it's impossible to view BLM as any kind of organic response - certainly not to Trump Why doesn't SBC (stop black crime) exist? If the O-ton window is organic, shouldn't it? If Trump widened it, shouldn't it?
