Here's the basic conundrum for people. It's Joe Biden voters that are tearing up cities, doing the violent crime, threatening the suburbs, etc.

OK. We all understand how mob threats work.....do or pay this, and we can make your problems go away. Pay protection money so something bad doesn't happen to you.

Here's the issue. Say we vote not just for Biden, but also for Dem. district attorneys, mayors, police chiefs, sheriffs, etc. That's a big risk.

What if we do what you want, vote your people in so you make the violence stop....and it doesn't stop? What if our trust is betrayed? We're then screwed, just like the couple in St. Louis. Your mobs attack the suburbs, the police are ordered to stand down and do nothing, and then anyone who dares to defend their family, home, or business gets arrested and prosecuted for standing up to the mob violence.

What you are asking....forget about people's views on how America should be run, political ideology, etc. It's frightening. You're asking us to vote for folks who want to neuter and defund the police, actively prosecute people who take self defense into their own hands, take away guns and all with the promise that in return, you'll get the mob violence to stop.

What if the mob doesn't stop? What if they come to my neighborhood? Get burned out and looted or go to jail trying to stop it?

What guarantee can you give us that you'll stop the rioting if we vote for Biden? What recourse do we have if that that doesn't happen?


Edit: The suburb that includes Houston went blue for the first time in a long time last go round. They also had the first waves of violence the city has seen in over 4 decades. They HAVE one of those Soros backed activist D.A.'s we've heard about. And what has she done? Well, at the several Biden rally/riots they have held, there were multiple people arrested. The D.A. dropped the charges for all of those people. So now people know, if you want to destroy stuff, or loot....the D.A. has their back.

My suburban county is still run by law and order conservatives at all levels, so we had no violence, because our county isn't a safe space for rioters. What happens if we vote in social justice activists like the Harris County D.A.? Our county becomes a potential target, too.
