The Democrats are freaking out over the prospect of a summer that will feature huge protests in Washington, D.C. at the July NATO summit and the party conventions in July and August.
William Daley, son of the legendary Mayor Richard J. Daley and a key Democratic insider, says the potential is there for protests at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago in August to get out of hand.
“This last week has taken the demonstrations to a different level,” Daley said. “It portends that you have the potential for big demonstrations. Whether they get violent — that’s more imaginable today than it was a year ago.”
In Milwaukee where Republicans will gather in July, the prospects for violence are even greater. The hysterical rhetoric used by the Biden administration and Democratic activists to describe Donald Trump and MAGA could easily lead to violence against attendees.
Add to that, the placement of protesters closer to the Fiserv Forum than they will be near the United Center in Chicago and the prospect of protests becoming violent rises precipitously.
But the real protest action might not take place outside the United Center in Chicago. In fact, the floor of the convention and the galleries are where the most disruptive protests are going to happen.
