Since downtown Oakland saw some of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=UCvg17KpUWQ\">worst riots and looting<\/a>\u00a0in the nation, I recently checked in with a friend who lives there to make sure she and her family are safe.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Like me, she\u2019s an immigrant from China and experienced Chairman Mao Zedong\u2019s \u201cCultural Revolution\u201d when growing up. Unlike me, she has supported Democrats for years. She loathes everything Trump stands for, from his immigration rhetoric to positions on foreign policy. For the sake of our friendship, we typically avoid discussing domestic politics as well.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>This time, however, she went straight to domestic politics. She told me she and her family were safe but the riots and looting in downtown Oakland were terrifying. She was heartbroken to see so many immigrant-owned \u201cmom and pop\u201d stores ransacked or even burned to the ground.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>She conveyed that while she wanted to see justice for Floyd, night after night of destruction and lawlessness were just \u201ctoo much.\u201d They reminded her of China\u2019s \u201cCultural Revolution\u201d from 1966-1976. She told me: \u201cI didn\u2019t come all this way to America to re-live a \u2018Cultural Revolution\u2019 in 2020.\u201d Then she said something I would never have thought she\u2019d say before: \u201cTrump is right. We need law and order.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What can you say?\u00a0 Stupid Democrats, sure, but even they can see reality when it burns their neighborhood out.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over at the Federalist a Chinese immigrant relates how her Trump hating democrat friends have had enough of the looting and will take Trump if<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[2514,2575,2574,2573],"class_list":["post-11471","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-current-events","tag-black-rioting","tag-defund-the-police","tag-law-and-order","tag-the-federalist"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Defund the Police Looks Like a Winner ... for President Trump and the Republicans - Orion&#039;s Cold Fire<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/orionscoldfire.com\/index.php\/2020\/07\/15\/defund-the-police-looks-like-a-winner-for-president-trump-and-the-republicans\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Defund the Police Looks Like a Winner ... for President Trump and the Republicans - Orion&#039;s Cold Fire\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Over at the Federalist a Chinese immigrant relates how her Trump hating democrat friends have had enough of the looting and will take Trump if\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/orionscoldfire.com\/index.php\/2020\/07\/15\/defund-the-police-looks-like-a-winner-for-president-trump-and-the-republicans\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Orion&#039;s Cold Fire\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2020-07-15T22:30:05+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"photog\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@orionscoldfire\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@orionscoldfire\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"photog\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/orionscoldfire.com\/index.php\/2020\/07\/15\/defund-the-police-looks-like-a-winner-for-president-trump-and-the-republicans\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/orionscoldfire.com\/index.php\/2020\/07\/15\/defund-the-police-looks-like-a-winner-for-president-trump-and-the-republicans\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"photog\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/orionscoldfire.com\/#\/schema\/person\/d11e80f83f3825ce9fe38a5303eb64d3\"},\"headline\":\"Defund the Police Looks Like a Winner &#8230;
