They're not capable of that level of introspective thinking, as basic as it is

The answer is Yes. ALL cops are cowards to begin with, and are trained to embrace their cowardice by responding with extreme force to the slightest inconvenience.

Why didn't they just zip tie the wheel on the rascal

Christians, through history, loved stoning anyone who did not agree with them or follow their beliefs. I think it would be ironic if they ended up on the other end of this.

But truthfully, I think just permanently removing their ability to have any effect on the world we live in, by their speech, money, action, position, etc, as quickly as humanly possible is far more important than just carrying out old fashioned punishments for catharsis. We all just need them gone.

Nothing matters in this country aside from how much wealth you generate or spend at the moment. Doesn't matter how good or bad you are. Ethics are frowned upon. How much money you can spend or generate for others is the only factor. We are an experiment in how far largely unrelated capitalism can be pushed. The only fix for this is an absolute societal collapse.

The outcry over HitlerPig's child separation policy was enormous. I personally called every one of my elected officials and literally HOLLERED at them over the phone, demanding they do something about it. I don't think I was ever outraged more about a government policy. He rescinded it after a few days because the pressure was so intense.

The Biden administration tried hard to return those children, but to this day, there are almost 1000 children who have never been reunited with their parents, and likely never will. It is one of the worst modern atrocities of the American government iny lifetime, and it is entirely MAGA's fault.

Everyone could have seen this coming years ago. I still remember the first images from the ICE facilities where small children were separated from their parents and held in steel cages. Google it, it was heartbreaking.

"No no no, you see. It was fine when democrats did it under the radar. We're just angry an uncharismatic person won and bad things started to happen. Now we're losing respect and soft power all over the world by blatant disrespect of the law. And I have to pay more for the chinese shit? This is UNACCEPTABLE.

If a democrat had won, we'd totally be fine with its continuation as long as it doesn't affect me.

They'll totally fix it in the next election though. You see, It's only because of those darn republicans who are the only ones being bought by billionaires and foreign lobbyists dragging us down.

I just want to return to a time when we could bomb civilians abroad and still get nobel peace prize for our president. Oh how many war crimes we committed and got away with it. Still gives me goosebumps. Is that too much to ask?"

Personally I think it started before that. It has its roots in the mass overturning of civil rights after 2001, the implementation of secret courts, disappearing people into black sites, extrajudicial killings, and breaking international human rights laws to hold people in indefinite detention without trial.

No subsequent administration has ever walked that back because that kind of power is so convenient to them. But this framework is what has facilitated the slide towards fascism.

That's why people in deep red states think the government is filled with waste, fraud, and abuse - they don't realize that crumbling infrastructure, a lack of social services and societal blight aren't the norm.

They just see other poor people getting help from the government in blue states and wonder "well where's my handout?" Without realizing they are in fact voting against those measures every election.

The cons keep telling those voters that the government is broken - so they re-elect them to prove it.

People would talk about Baltimore as being a really scary place.

And I wished they talk more about Tennessee being just a sad awful state.

Working class people's interests actually being represented in one large municipality

Yeah, see those elderly lady's aren't old enough to remember back when America was great, they are far to young. Another ten years and they'll be auto selected for the Senate

But they are very uncomfortable, which I can only imagine is the point.

Calm down Elon.
