with regards to the election, how much will developments in Minneapolis impact the result?
A lot of those protestors are gonna vote, and I can't imagine many of them voting for Trump. They're Ridin' With Biden, and everybody knows it. This is the implicit threat, isn't it? Vote Biden to restore order. If you don't do as we say, we'll make sure shit burns.
Now Minneapolis has a monstrous deficit and a huge cleanup bill. It'd take years to restore corporate trust and rebuild, but they don't have the funds alone to do any of that.
