His legacy could have also been "80s real estate and business failure goes to prison for SA and financial crimes." Instead, we have a two-tiered justice system and he gets to climb onto Air Force One with toilet paper stuck to his shoe at 72 years of age.
We're numb to injustice.
Two completely different standards applied simultaneously, amplified by media's fawning obsession over this narcissistic shitbag and Harris' status as a WoC
"Moderate" Dems have been trying to appear palatable to an increasingly unhinged conservative voter for decades now, so they won't push for anything too controversial
Ours is a culture of complacency. Even where demonstrably untrue, we for generations regard ourselves as number one in all aspects of nationhood. The propaganda works as designed. We don't expect more because we already think this is as good as it gets.
This allows the slow erosion of rights and denial of progress that we've seen over the last 50 years. We won't be protesting or demanding things most democracies would consider mandatory. We're too busy trying to get by at this point.
You guys have friends?
Indeed this is quite a bullshit.
Def strikes as an old fashioned phrase
What I really find disappointing about this exchange is how disingenuous this scenario is that you paint. You set up a very vague and overbroad situation and then follow it up with a very specific to the point of anecdotal example as if that refutes my rebuttal.
Like, do you really think I should get bogged down in a response to this new scenario like it's worth considering? Do you genuinely think a random person on the internet is incapable of imagining a scenario such as the one you described and would be floored by it? C'mon dude.
But ok. Sure, let's do this like you have a good point. Here's what should happen. Domestic violence experts who are trained in psychology and deescalation techniques could intervene and create a safe exit for victims of abuse and violence. But you know what? I don't know what exactly that task force would look like or how it would operate. What I do know is, it shouldn't look like those guys in blue who shoot black people in their own homes while existing and chuck flashbangs into cribs.
De-escalation.
The first way to achieve this is to stay off someone's porch.
