"...college campuses, where a combination of students, anarchists and overtly pro-Hamas activists have ginned up disruptions" Exactly. It's a combo.
no "assassinations of Robert F. Kennedy and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr." Exactly. Thank goodness.
"Simply put, the performative displays on college campuses have not drawn mass support. Despite near-nonstop coverage, the Israel-Gaza war ranks far down on the list of voter concerns." Exactly.
"Furthermore, “A large majority (81%) of students support holding protesters accountable, agreeing with the notion that those who destroyed property or vandalized or illegally occupied buildings should be held responsible.”" Exactly. How good is that stat!
"Beyond the convention, Democrats can go on offense when it comes to crime. The Democratic Party is not the one whose presidential candidate faces 88 criminal charges (and has been held in contempt twice). Democrats didn’t mount a violent insurrection (which Republicans falsely called “legitimate political discourse”) resulting in multiple deaths, dozens of injured law enforcement officers and charges against more than 1,200 people. And Democrats did not sink a tough, bipartisan border security bill. Exactly.
"Republicans, having fanned violence, demonized the FBI, insulted prosecutors and impugned judges, have the law-and-order problem. (Some of them also opposed awarding gold medals to officers who protected them on Jan. 6, 2021.)" Exactly.
"Former president Donald Trump wants to pardon the violent felons implicated in Jan. 6. Trump also openly contemplates military action against civilians, mass roundups of immigrants and weaponization of the Justice Department against his enemies. They’ve become the anti-rule of law party. " Exactly.
"By contrast, the Biden Justice Department dutifully has prosecuted Biden’s son Hunter Biden, Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) and Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Tex.). You cannot conceive of a Trump Justice Department enforcing the law against its own people." Exactly.
"In short, Democrats should embrace the “law and order” label, especially if Trump gets convicted of multiple felonies." Exactly. Even if he isn't.
Spot on, Jennifer Rubin. "Democracy Dies in Darkness " Spot on.
It was Plato who said, “He, O men, is the wisest, who like Socrates, knows that his wisdom is in truth worth nothing”
