    If those snipers were to shoot someone, the protests would be twice the size the next day.

    Look what happened when Nixon, Reagan and Trump escalated violence in response to protests.

    Nixon’s in songs for killiing Ohioans.

      From Wiki, sadly: “President Richard Nixon, who is criticized in the song, won a landslide reelection in 1972, which included winning the 1972 United States presidential election in Ohio by a margin of over 21%.”

          You can’t gerrymander the presidential election. There are no districts in that election.

          You can however influence it with bribes, coercion, and intimidation.
