Trump may have just won NC for good

[Suburbia]

These riots won't help Democrats, because they'll be blamed for "inciting" tensions. White suburbanites turn out for Trump, and some of them switch from Clinton to Trump, blame the riots. Yes, it's blunt, but those voters care a lot more about their safety than social issues in my opinion.

As usual, you're wrong.

I don't think so. You think suburban voters like this? Tell me how I am wrong.

Yeah, Burr is probably secretly glad about this.

Burr and McCrory.

They may not "like" it, but it doesn't affect them in the slightest. Again (as has already been said by me and others), the people who would suddenly flip their vote to the other political party because of something like this don't exist. And the people who think this is some big ordeal are all already voting for Trump.

It does affect them. Those mobs are coming to the suburbs to terrorize, if they can.

I wouldn't be terribly surprised if this was true, but it might also have the effect of galvanizing turnout among North Carolina's African American community when they see Trump, whom nearly all hold in contempt, come out in support of a local police force that kills and a legal system that systematically targets communities of color.

True. BLM does the same to police as well. Let's not kid ourselves here. The movement supports Assata Shakur.

You're like the definition of scared white person bronz.

Didn't someone just shoot a protester dead because he didn't think he should be protesting?

I would think this would help Democrats in the state rather than hurt them. HB2 has been a disaster for the state, and the state is under full control of the GOP essentially, and this is happening under their "watch."

[Suburbia]

I'm not scared at all. I don't want this spilling in my neck of the woods or any other city. They can destroy the city all they want. It looks bad on the Democratic Party and Black Lives Matter's part, which is losing their message every single day.

Also, as callous as it sounds to say this, I think events like this happening have become fairly baked in to people's views post-2014. Ferguson was a major, major event, an inflection point.

No, the only people who are going to actively blame the Democrats for this are already voting for Trump, and would never have voted for Clinton to begin with.

Swing voters may have a say. They're still around. How do you think a middle class family in Durham, N.C. feels tonight?

Utterly fine, because they're in Durham, not downtown Charlotte

Pat Buchanan actually predicted that Ferguson would cause a devastating loss for the Dems in midterms.

Not necessarily, the question is if the NR-types and Charlie Sykes of the world hate BLM and SJWs more than they hate Trump. After the California protests back in June, many of them were actually subtly praising Trump in that context.

Hopefully making them think about the systematic racism in our society.

Uh, I should remind you Durham County, Orange County, and pretty much the whole Triangle is one of the most Democratic places in the country, let alone the state. They are probably more sympathetic than reactionary.

Now the suburbs of Charlotte are a different story, but like many have said, the people who see this as "violent black thugs" already are voting for Trump.

Those protesters are coming for the rest of the state. They're agitators. BLM should be ashamed for the lack of control.

[DrScholl]

None of this changes Trump from the person he is. He's still a psychopathic, unfit moron that he's always been.

True, but some of those voters may see this BLM movement as anti-white. Both the police and BLM are to blame.

I agree with Buchanan that Ferguson had an effect on those midterms. I think that's largely been widely accepted as the point when the national picture really turned ugly for Dems (that and Ebola)
