T. Greg Doucette: If you think the Clinton-Biden Crime Bill created the modern police state, it just tells me you're a fundamentally unserious person who is not cognitively equipped to discuss police reform

This is one of the dumbest things I've read in awhile, and I still have an account on Twitter

Biden made the police state you cry about but ok lmaoooo

If you think the Clinton-Biden Crime Bill created the modern police state, it just tells me you're a fundamentally unserious person who is not cognitively equipped to discuss police reform

Bad things can be bad without also thinking they're the cause of all evil

The police were so friendly and helpful before, all the most famous images from American history show that

It's like "tell me you never heard of the Civil Rights Movement without telling me"

History began in 1994.

No, no, Greg, Bull Connor was an avuncular Southern gentleman, it was Biden who made all the bad cops.

Biden had already been a senator for 20 years at that time.

cops famously a benign force before the 90’s

It also didn't start in the 1980s, when the Republicans and Drug Wars increased US prison population by about 5x.

No fair remembering stuff!

So many progressives have created an anti-Democratic Party identity (encouraged by RWNJ and foreign trolls) and are bending reality and history to protect their manufactured throughline. This is the cultishness that Bernie wrought. The mirror of MAGAism.

Obviously it didn't create anything, but the 1994 Crime Bill and AEDPA both are responsible for making mass incarceration much, much worse. In fairness to Biden, he fought against AEDPA.
