Twitter flags Trump for "glorifying violence" after he says Minneapolis looting will lead to "shooting" https://t.co/w9nE1hQ6UI— The Washington Post (@washingtonpost) May 29, 2020
Lest anyone doubt the original meaning of "the shooting starts." Miami News, December 26, 1967 https://t.co/PnaxOl9wuk via @_newspapers— Jack Pitney (@jpitney) May 29, 2020
The 1960s and 1970s molded @realDonaldTrump's worldview. After the 1968 Chicago riot, polls showed that the public sided with the police over the rioters. Young Donald apparently noticed. https://t.co/ZrijiEaMxl— Jack Pitney (@jpitney) May 29, 2020
Protester-initiated violence (again, irrespective of police violence), helped move public towards concern for “social control.” In 1968, I find violent protests likely caused a 1.6-7.9% shift among whites towards Nixon’s “law & order” campaign and helped tipped the election. 16/ pic.twitter.com/5D1TARpRhJ— Omar Wasow (@owasow) May 27, 2020
