    If the rioters in Portland are truly committed to undermining the United States, they may want Trump to be re-elected. But if they don't, they should stop supplying him with material.

        That assumes an intelligence, self awareness, and presence of mind that never exists in a mob.

        The mob doesn't make rational choices. It's a feature.

        Those who push them to do it don't realize this irony in the name of consolidating voter base by using the ethnicity of a vice pres candidate.

        So stop doing what you think is right, because you're inadvertently helping the enemy, then the "good guys" can win and then you can go back to the regularly scheduled program?

        Are you assuming they are logical and somehow smart?

        Been saying this to my friends since it started. Devils advocate, on you and myself, the Right seems to be able to find any small group or even Individual and blow it up to somehow represent the entire left. I know the left does the same but i think to a lesser extent.

        This makes it sound like the only reason to stop is to not help Trump.
