I remember watching a Twitter video of a guy (I think in NY) running down like 4-5 riot cops with his SUV. Strangely, I haven’t seen that video reposted even once since that night

oh I thought you were talking about the Long Hot Summer of 1967 .

completely unrelated fact, 1968 was the last time the democrats passed major legislative reform until arguably the ACA.

There is a nonzero chance that the democrats win big in November and then force Biden to sign major legislation along those lines.

along which lines… Civil Rights Act, or ACA? either way the difference is that the unions have been broken

I think the term is “we’ll have a conversation”

and then Dems will proceed to sideline all major policy efforts

When you say “worse” I think you mean “better”

I’m not seeing anything anywhere near the passion of the 92 LA riots. 2020 riots are as exciting as a virtual Biden rally in comparison.
