At least several thousand people are expected in Portland, Oregon, on Saturday for a right-wing rally in support of President Donald Trump and his “law and order” reelection campaign as tensions boil over nationwide following the decision not to charge officers in Louisville, Kentucky, for killing Breonna Taylor.

See how this goes down.

I'm not sure what you mean by this tbh. I might be misreading it.

They have one thing in common, yes, but it's not the only thing they have. People vote on more than just economics. They could choose to unite and vote on class but different people have different priorities. The fact that they have different competing priorities is just inherent to representative democracy.

President Donald J. Trump: (01:08:16)
I’m urging my supporters to go in to the polls and watch very carefully, because that’s what has to happen. I am urging them to do it. As you know, today there was a big problem. In Philadelphia, they went in to watch. They’re called poll watchers, a very safe, very nice thing. They were thrown out. They weren’t allowed to watch. You know why? Because bad things happen in Philadelphia. Bad things. And I am urging my people. I hope it’s going to be a fair election. If it’s a fair election-

Chris Wallace: (01:08:44)
You’re urging them what?

President Donald J. Trump: (01:08:45)
… I am 100% on board. But if I see tens of thousands of ballots being manipulated, I can’t go along with that. And I’ll tell you why-

Chris Wallace: (01:08:53)
What does that mean, not go along-

President Donald J. Trump: (01:08:53)
… from a common sense-

Chris Wallace: (01:08:54)
Does that mean you’re going to tell your people-

President Donald J. Trump: (01:08:55)
I’ll tell you what it means-

Chris Wallace: (01:08:55)
… to take to the streets?

President Donald J. Trump: (01:08:56)
It means you have a fraudulent election. You’re sending out 80 million ballots-

Chris Wallace: (01:09:00)
And what would you do about that?

President Donald J. Trump: (01:09:01)
They’re not equipped… These people aren’t equipped to handle it, number one. Number two, they cheat. They cheat. Hey, they found ballots in a wastepaper basket three days ago, and they all had the name military ballots. There were military. They all had the name Trump on them.

Chris Wallace: (01:09:17)
Vice President Biden-

President Donald J. Trump: (01:09:17)
You think that’s good?

Members of the Proud Boys, a far-right group that has endorsed violence, celebrated on Tuesday night after President Trump mentioned them during the first presidential debate.

Asked whether he condemned white supremacists and military groups, Mr. Trump demurred and then said, “Proud Boys — stand back and stand by.”

Within minutes, members of the group were posting in private social media channels, calling the president’s comments “historic.” In one channel dedicated to the Proud Boys on Telegram, a private messaging app, group members called the president’s comment a tacit endorsement of their violent tactics.

In another message, a member commented that the group was already seeing a spike in “new recruits.”

It's only the like what the 20th time or so since 2015 that Trump refused to commit to accepting the results and refused to denounce white supremacists?
