As the Trump administration continues to press the boundaries of the Constitution, Johns Hopkins Professor Lester Spence says we need to understand one yet-to-be-examined source of the push towards authoritarianism: urban policing.
How do you think Florida ended up the way it is? I’ve lived here on and off for the last 40-odd years. Texas happened the same way - right-winners taking inch by inch until they refuse to compromise out of spite and rig elections left and right. Now they’ve done it at the national level and I’m a few years it will be moderate-liberals that have to fix the mess they’re making.
What the fuck did Joe Biden fix? Did he fix the genocide in Gaza, did he? Did Obama fix the rampant corruption and financialization that led to the 2008 crash? What was he fixing when he had his cabinet orchestrate the maidan coup? Did Clinton fix the war on drugs with the crime bill?
Liberals don’t fix jack shit. They pretend now it’s too late to do anything, theyre powerless, at best things can stay mostly the same. And you better behave and vote for them next time because these laws they just passed can be used to facilitate a lot of fascism (it’s ok for them to have them because they’re not fascists though!)

I’ll say it again
Did you even read the article? Do you have anything to say about the example discussed in it?
When the fuck have “moderate liberals” fixed a single thing
Every single time they grab power. Every. Single. Time. Billionaires did not sprout out of some Republican’s pus filled boyle.
Every single time? Lmao.

Deeply ahistorical, terminally unserious.
