well after seeing cops shoot an unarmed black guy seven times in the back & then chattin it up with a white 17 year old sauntering about with a long gun who then shot three people & was allowed to return home afterwards I am convinced there is no systemic racism— kilgore trout, new tone haver (@KT_So_It_Goes) August 26, 2020
Because after all those protests against the murder of George Floyd, Trump is going to sail into office, right?
Trump is the president! Right now! https://t.co/tnF9cbru6y— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) August 26, 2020
I mean, sure, Trump is the President; but it's not like he's responsible or something. It's not like the guy who shot those people in Kenosha wasn't a "socialist," or something.
Kyle Rittenhouse, the 17-year-old who has been charged with first-degree murder after two people were shot to death in Kenosha last night, is a big Blue Lives Matter guy https://t.co/BUDI5LAVsf https://t.co/ZoNpL6DOtX— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) August 26, 2020
Or that the cops did nothing about it:
Cell phone footage shows Kenosha police telling armed insurrectionists, “We appreciate you guys. We really do,” and giving them bottles of water. Shortly after this video was taken, one of these men shot and killed two protesters and wounded another.— Shannon Watts (@shannonrwatts) August 26, 2020

It's not like the imagery of this kid being congratulated by the cops, then shooting three people and offering himself in surrender, and being ignored until the Illinois police come for him, is going to have any impact, after all.
I mean, nobody cared about seeing a cop kneeling on George Floyd's neck, right? America is racist and stupid, they don't react to images like that. Right?
Meanwhile, apparently the sheriff in Kenosha had a press conference:
I’m close to concluding that the sheriff is ducking the issue of why his people let a killer go home.— Charles P. Pierce (@CharlesPPierce) August 26, 2020
Imagine that. There's a good image, right?
Biden needs to meet this head on. And sound more like Trump. Yeah, that's the ticket.
