If I could gently offer an alternative line of thought in regards to the impact on the election. As a former member of Republicanland I can say emphatically that the violence during the summer of 2020 cost Democrats dearly. Defund the Police was branded on every Democrat to the point they almost lost the House, and Kenosha County, WI has flipped red.

We have enough time and distance until the election, and this is nowhere near summer 2020 levels. But it is a problem and if it is still happening in the fall it could help put Trump back in the White House.
