Except the media has been calling it 'peaceful protests" for 3 months so the layman doesn't know how violent this has been unless you actually live in these cities. So if they heard of Trump's DHS opening fire against these people they would think it would be Kent State 2.0. Optics are bad against us on a national/international level but the locals would appreciate it.

The point is that conventional wisdom about shooting Communists hurting re-election chances isn’t based in any evidence.

You're taking an event that happened decades ago, two years before an election in an era where there was no "instant access" of the internet to almost every human being on the planet (where it can be manipulated into anti-Trump "DRUMPF IS HITLER!" pieces and repeated ad infinitum) , as your evidence of saying it doesn't hurt re-election chances.

Context matters, your "evidence" is not evidence.

This exactly. Many still think these are peaceful riots unless they follow the right twitter YouTube accounts or active a lot on social media. Even Fox doesn’t cover all the bits of these riots and not on a day to day basis either.

The media has been so complicit in enabling these criminals.

A good percentage also thinks all the violence comes from right wing/proud boy agitators.
