my line of thinking tends to be accurate, as demonstrated by my calling 46 states right & getting within 7 points of calling trumps electoral votes (i had him for 313, trump got 306) in this election.

The media is to blame for a lot of this. The election and all the bullshit with Hillary and the Democrats aside, a perfect example is what happened in Ferguson. That kid got shot and there was an investigation. Before there was even any information about the investigation and what it was uncovering was out, the media was fanning the flames of a riot talking about how people would take to the streets and be angry unless that cop was basically thrown under the bus. They sent camera crews and counted down to when the investigation results were going to be released. Then, when it was all said and done, they got exactly what they wanted. A group of people who had been told over and over by the media that they were being screwed over and they rioted. I think you can drop all the civil unrest that happened in that city firmly on the shoulders of the media.
On the other end of the spectrum is the linebacker from the Broncos (I can't remember his name right now). He was one of those guys kneeling during the national anthem. In Denver, the local police reached out to him and he met with them. He also started working with some other community leaders to seek answers to some of the problems they have. He felt good about the direction things were going so he decided not to kneel anymore and focus on the positive changes to come. He did it the right way and it got a blurb on the sports page and very few people even know about it.
