Could President Trump been a political genius with his remark’s that their were good people on both sides of the Charlottesville riots? Of course one would assume that anyone who marches with the KKK or Neo Nazi is not a good person at best misunderstood but did those remarks make others think and do things they never would have done or thought otherwise? Here’s what could be his calculus (below) if the genius side had anything to do with such remarks. It might not be the case but do you think these thoughts and actions would have occurred if these remarks from the President weren’t said.
(1) LEFT EVALUATION- Are the groups they are supporting going a bit too far in stopping free speech even if the speech might appear repugnant?
(2) AMMUNITION- Is the media propelling violence by it’s continual coverage of pockets of hateful groups?
(3) HISTORY- Should we stop and think before we tear apart pieces of our history and the consequences of such action to our national dialogue?
(4) PRIDE- Do all groups deserve to find their pieces of pride in history even as others might see it differently and how do we assure that various views are shown in the public square?
(5) TIME- Is it time we start listening more to each other instead of just hitting the standard play button?
