The main stream liberal media is giving all the attention to the protestors, constantly condemning the police, praising BLM, forgiving the rioters and looters and acting like the entire country sides with all these groups. Even the weak Republican party is starting to side with this wacko stuff. Is this now the new norm and is Middle America really now in the minority and shut out from having a voice in anything? It looks like Middle America is being forced to shut up and accept all of this garbage.

Even my 6 yr old Grandkids know when they're being lied to. Remember the last election? And look how the Dems are no-holds-barred now. They're hoping, but they're in for a big surprise. Either way, it's gonna be a bloodbath.

One thing that puzzles me though.....why are the high-ranking military guys banging on their President now? That's just un-American. What's the full military going to do when the Pres. asks them to fix this mess after he wins in November?

Middle America is slowly changing too. I can pick half dozen small towns that know where there are protestors that would have never been seen or heard a decade ago. The fly over states of middle America may be holding out but elections are still won and lost by electoral college. Better hope Florida and Texas still hold conservative

From a couple months back;

The economic impact threatens to hurt down-ticket Republicans, who for decades have hitched their fortunes to a robust economy. Democrats are targeting seven U.S. House seats and defending two, mostly in the suburbs of the largest cities: Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Austin, El Paso and Fort Worth. Winning the state House is not out of the question for Democrats. They need to flip nine seats and are targeting districts that O'Rourke carried two years ago to get there.

1,000 people a day moving to Texas.

Middle America is the thinkers and the doers. They plan ahead, they look at risk versus gain they think about the future. The elite think about status and power. The knot heads doing all this craziness and even though the minority being the loudest in the room, they only think about the right now and instant gratification. The middle Americans by in large have and do defend this country and her people. What the elites and the nuts don't realize is that the middle Americans are patient, prayerful, forgiving to a point and incredible in number, resolution and inner strength. The elites want to lump everyone below them into one basket that they can control. The nuts are mainly dependent and easy to control and though there appear to be a large number of them consider that the actors we are seeing are moving from place to place to be heard and seen. Compare those numbers to the population of those states not just the cities. There is a considerable number being quiet publicly just sharing among themselves. I don't mean like some sort of conspiracy but just like minded folk supporting each other while taking care of God, Family and Country. Going about their lives as they can producing and earning a living. We are always underestimated as we do not look to be seen or make a scene. Hopefully all this will settle down. What happens in these places is in God's capable hands. If there was something positive that middle America could do they would do it. On the other hand, silence and obedience should never be taken for weakness. I am proud to consider myself a middle American. I hope nothing gets out of hand and these folks are mostly all talk as it is easy to attack an empty building or a single person in the middle of a mob. I have found the loud mouth entitled and the elite to be awesome predators when the prey is defenseless yet quite chicken when met with some sort of push back. Yes middle Americans are the doers I just hope these folks also realize that if need be we are also the finishers.

I live in a small county (population wise) in west central IL. Last night my county board supposedly voted to end the lock down. Against the Gov's orders. We don't have protesters. I'm not sure everyone knows that about all of IL voted red last pres election. But it still wasn't enough. Who knows what happened to all the ballots in IL?
