Entire cities policies have been upended and made more brutal for a generation driven largely off the rhetoric and media fueled fears of a stranger approaching a voter in a “dark alley.”
It was only natural that the televised images of the late spring / summer of 2020, coupled with a party leader…
…and sitting president profusely telling Americans it was OK and political preferable to want to murder rioters and smash protesters, would lead to a turbo charge of already highly reactionary and revanchist ideology.
We’re gonna be living with the effects of that for at least a generation, and…
…no, I’m not blaming anyone for causing this, except for the movement leaders and political heroes of the “shoot more protesters” voting contingent.
Anyone wanting to argue about “Ferguson effect” shit can kindly go fuck themselves
One of the kindest people I've met (at least that I thought) talked about how she thought protesters who did so on the highways deserved to be run over. I was shocked. But I think I did not anticipate how racist she might actually be, and she just let it out.
