Agreed. Apple cider, pumpkin pie, warm enough to not need a light jacket during the day, then when the sun is down just a light jackal for the wind. Watching Over The Garden Wall and eating Halloween candy.

I posit that the husband knows very well the welcome he'll get in prison given how we predominately lock up PoC for even minor infractions then mistreat them.

What a wonderful argument, definitely not fash sounding at all.

Yeah, this wasn't idle threatening behavior. This is the kind of behavior that if the police were involved would shoot the PoC on the spot.

Yup, those are the faces of finding out. What they did was monstrously evil, threatening to kill kids because they weren't the white colour. I imagine he's probably realizing as well that he's going to be beaten a lot in jail for this. Given the incarceration rate of PoC being higher there's going to be a welcome for him he'll regret if they don't immediately put him into solitary confinement. His life isn't just ruined, he may very well die in prison.

The woman has fully disassociated at this point, she's just got the "going through the motions" look of someone who had the worst news of their life handed to them and don't know how to process it.

It's nice to find someone who understands nuances in conversation

Not speaking up or pushing against policies and such that target specific groups of people because that's the way we've always done it makes you a bastard still. We all know there's probably one or two good cops per department/precinct that truly wish and do help people when they can. But they're silenced for the sake of their job speaking out against the mistreatments and policies.

Studying all that is cheaper than therapy. Trust me, if I could afford the financial commitment I'd go again.

Are there some fundamental differences between Dems and GQP? Sure, some, but as a person who has taken an outside view of politics through expanding my political knowledge and understanding, when it comes down to it they only have surface level differences. When Madami was running for Mayor of New York the Democrat establishment threw every nasty thing they could to STOP him. Get this straight, they would have rather a MAGA win than an avowed Democratic Socialist. THAT tells me what I really need to know about the majority of the Democrats in the party.

I see it as a two part problem. One, the current party setup one party ratchets us towards fascism, the other obstructs attempts to go back for "bi-partianship." Secondly, I hear most swing voters consider themselves moderates and from experience along with other's inspection of them, they're only concerned about order until it affects them. In thusly they're essentially just a brand of conservatism. Sounds a lot like the typical liberal.

They're the orange cat of people, malicious, disruptive, destructive, and only have a community brain cell to share around them.

True enough. It's your typical Democrat work, make a half measure that doesn't readily improve the situation but looks like it can.
