If it follows the RNC convention, the main problem will be bandwidth for Grindr.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

MODERATORS
So, they’ll allow demonstrations, which they can ignore, in a specific area. Anything they can’t ignore will be considered vandalism or violence. Also, very thinly veiled threat with the "we will protect you if you stay in your lane" (paraphrasing by me)
It's always the cops.
Police.
ACAB.
'the' problem. Must there be one?
Ok.
What value is there in assigning blame before the problem even exists?
History doesn't repeat, but it does rhyme:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1968_Democratic_National_Convention
Sounded just as bad when George Lucas used that line. Regardless I do agree with you.
But to rephrase… how can it rhyme before anyone has ever spoken?
Is that rhyme “doom will happen because of the DNC” or will it “happen because you keep saying everything’s doomed?”
WHEN THE CONFERENCE DOES HAPPEN… how should this get reported? Neutrally or as doom and gloom?
Simple:
1968 - The sitting president, embattled over poor performance, steps aside leaving a vacancy at the convention in Chicago, which, absent a primary process, devolves into chaos involving protests and police:
2024 - The sitting president, embattled over poor performance, steps aside leaving a vacancy at the convention in Chicago, which, absent a primary process... ?
FFS What vacancy? The “sitting president” doesn’t even consider this as big of an issue as you. Is this more of you injecting a story that doesn’t exist? Kamala has enough votes for the nomination and is polling well so your point is more Hillary style nonsense?
So is the narrative that this isnt democratic and people will revolt? Or is it just a Chicago thing? Or is it just you?
It's called "remembering history."
How many times are needed to “remind” you?
Your attempt at “Remembering” history doesn’t mean you’re preventing it. Shit you are the one PREDICTING history! Again what was your point?
Remember berries from a self-proclaimed prophecy?
I would say, every time there's an event that (so far) is 80% the same as an historical one, and the remaining 20% is in the very near future.
Sounds sure, and sounds foolish.
Are we talking about an “event” like a meteor shower or a full moon?
Does it coincide with the fall or a human sacrifice? Should the village be concerned?
When the alternative to failing to heed history is political violence, it always makes sense to be aware of precedent.
The alternative is standing around after the fact moaning "But how could this happen??!??"
Well, you see, in 1968... you know the last time this happened...
