Trump will still win, easily. Nothing has changed. Only the media pushing the anti-Trump narrative as hard as possible.
What the media is not telling us is these extreme forms of protests actually drive people away from supporting them (this is what research says: extreme forms of protest drives people away, it does not increase support). So while thousands flock to social media to virtue signal, the silent majority are being polarized and pushed away from these efforts, more than ever. These silent people are who got Trump elected in 2016.
Now they (the people who are not actively supporting things like BLM) are being called Nazis, racists, idiots, fools, etc. The absolute best thing the Democrats can do to guarantee a Trump win.
Their businesses are being ruined, their homes burgled/robbed, and people experiencing violence at the hands of these "protesters." This is very near the absolute worst possible thing that can be done to hurt Trump.
Meanwhile, the economy is recovering absurdly quickly from the COVID-19 damage that the authoritarians tried to ruin.
