The conventional wisdom from the Trump crowd is that all of this civil unrest and "Defund the Police" movements in Democrat controlled urban areas was going to scare people into voting for Trump, but it's not playing out that way in New York where NYC saw some of the most extensive rioting and unrest. That latest poll released yesterday from PPP shows Trump now trailing Biden by 31 points. He has steadily lost ground since April when he was trailing by 23 points. A poll in June had him down 25 points.

I fear Hawaii may be lost to the Bad Orange Man, too!
This Leftist Tantrum Is an Information Operation and Trump Is Winning It.
The libs’ plan to win in November corresponds to Trump’s plan to crush them yet again. Skeptical? Consider this. In the five years since he rode down that escalator bringin’ hell with him, how many times have they come at Trump and won? Zero. He’s spent half a decade supposedly on the edge of doom and he’s still here. Why would you think that the walls are suddenly closing in now? You shouldn’t.
The long-term strategic objective of the leftists is to turn the United States into Venezuela, and they want to be Maduro.
There are two types of operations relevant here – kinetic and information. A kinetic operation is actual warfare. It’s violence designed to defeat the enemy and cause his surrender by either physically destroying him or occupying his territory and compelling surrender. An information operation is designed to affect the perceptions, and thereby the actions, of the target. Kinetic ops tend to do something to the enemy; and info op tends to get the target to do something to himself.
Elections are information operations. They attempt to build a narrative and play on perceptions and cause the target to take the action that will lead to victory. That is, get the target (the electorate) vote for the candidate the info operator wants elected.
Okay, so what is the 2020 elections, with the rioting, vandalism, violence and occupations?
This still an information operation, not a kinetic one.
They want to convince us we are powerless, that everyone else supports their commie agenda, that we cannot win. Their tactics are designed to create that impression and crush our morale. These include the 24/7 media hype, the outright media lies, the
movie stars with their dumb PSAs, the staged statue attacks, the corporate solidarity proclamations, the social media cancellations, and the craven kneeling by people who are supposed to stand up for us. But another tactic, familiar to any student of insurgencies, is to provoke an overreaction by those in power in order to undermine its moral authority. They want is to make us (including the president)
think this is a kinetic operation, and get our side to make fundamental strategic errors by failing to recognize the true nature of the threat. They hope that such a mismatch between perception and reality will then lead to gravely damaging blunders. One of those would be Trump succumbing to his legit frustration and sending in a bunch of federal troops to crack skulls.
But, he's too smart for them, so, instead of the attention being on Trump's over-reaction, which never occurred, it's all on the Left and their destruction of Blue Cities.
Notice that its Biden and The Ho rapidly trying to adjust their positions, a tacit admission that they were holding a losing hand. Trump's been properly positioned the entire time. And he's up to speed and powering through to election night.
