As a convicted drug felon whose local DA went on to become a corrupt governor, I reel at the “felon” pejorative that libs now seem to relish in. You can have a discussion with them about the PIC, the doubling of the prison population over a 2 decade period, and all sort of other stuff and they will nod along and even agree and then turn around and still assume all felons are bad and we need to support our cops. It’s the same shit with “terrorist” for those who lived through the Bush era and saw the term cynically deployed as cover for wars which saw a million people murdered and an entire region sent into disarray reflexively respond credulously whenever the term is used to justify a new genocidal campaign.
*Ha! I used the word “corrupt”, another loaded term that is often weaponized in the same manner. Really said governor was just doing standard governor stuff that most all politicians do in bourgeois democracy.
the so-called war on drugs is a conscription program to collect prison labor that are conveniently stripped of human rights and also made into social pariahs to maintain that status quo.
Prosecutors are always wholesome chungus 100 and only go after bad guys, right?

Facts. I get so much pushback from libs about this though. I just hit em with
A.k.a. slaves
Someone dug up an old tweet from around the 2020 primaries where she was bragging about prosecuting sex criminals like Donald Trump.
No way she can use that now considering it could be directed at Democrats too, including one former and one current president.
