Stand-your-ground laws are supposedly about being free to kill an attacker even if retreat is an option. In practice, they justify shooting at the pool cleaner because you’re a terrified idiot. But not if you’re an abused woman.
“I will accept one ten year old forced to give birth to her father’s child every year to stop 30k+ other abortions.”
Obama’s ancestry is black and he grew up in Hawaii, therefore he’s not a real American.
Keeping the names of Confederate leaders on American military bases and other facilities. The Confederates were traitors fighting to defend the principle that human beings can be property. They do not deserve honor.
Weaponizing law enforcement against your enemies — which is a Republican priority, not something Democrats or the Biden Administration are doing.
Quoting Hitler. Yeah, Moms for Liberty say they were doing it to dramatize how their enemies are following his path, but if that’s so, you’d think they’d have spelled it out. They’re much more clear about hating the Girl Scouts.
Legal loopholes that leave innocent people in prison. Or make their rights meaningless. Quite possibly SCOTUS wants criminal defendants to have even fewer meaningful rights.
Believing black athletes aren’t skilled or intelligent, they just lucked out with natural talent.
Anything Robert F. Kennedy says.
State legislatures being able to ignore the judiciary and their state constitution when they set voting rules. Fortunately even the Roberts Court called bullshit on that one. LGM discusses it.
“I’m warning socialists and communists not to travel to Florida. They are not welcome in the Sunshine State.”
Slavery ended when blacks became Christians and repented their sins. And they never went and protested about it to the government! But yes they did.
Seeing Ashli Babbitt as any sort of martyr.
Job security for Nazi cops.
Throwing money at police as law enforcement becomes increasingly less effective. “In the case of murders and violent crime, clearance rates have dipped to just 50 percent, a startling decline from the 1980s, when police cleared 70 percent of all homicides.”
Allowing cops to steal from drivers legally is a bad idea too.
Saving a few dollars on commuting expenses is exactly like getting a free $100,000 plane ride.
That affirmative action is no longer necessary. See this post and this one for more. And here.
Gay conservatives suddenly discovering that Ron DeSantis is anti-gay.
That pushing tech companies to remove election-fraud and anti-vax lies is oppressive censorship.
A chapter of my sister’s Music History thesis covered reactions to the first tour of _Porgy and Bess_ in the US and Europe.
European reviewed talked about the skills of the Black actors and singers and how hard they worked to learn the piece. US reviews talked about their innate talent and sometimes implied that they were “singing from the heart” rather than learning and rehearsing the performance. It was striking.
