The fact that this demented asshole is still free is a stain on the American justice system.

We can thank Trump for commuting his sentence

Nothing like a little abuse of power on your way out the door

These are the people Conservatives trust the most.

It's so goddamn weird and tribal. It would be like if Democratic voters defended Rod Blagojevich to the death or something.

Conservatives have pit themselves in a bubble where they rarely are exposed to reality. Talk Radio, Fox News, and FB all prevent them from getting a true picture of things. Ask any Conservative about the U.S. Border and they think millions of people are walking right in every day. Across all US borders it's actually small groups and it's about 4000 to 10000 a month coming to the border. That's far below what it was under Trump when 160,000 were showing up.

If you're from a town of 3,000, 10,000 people sounds really scary, even though it isn't a lot of people - especially if you're xenophobic.

In Seattle we have a busy road where all (I mean a lot at all times of day) of the prostitutes hang out to get business. The demographic has gotten really young and I wonder if they're part of the missing families, they're about the right age.

Aurora? It's always been that way. In the early 1990's it was really bad.

[-] PeleSpirit@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

It's been really bad lately though. I've seen 15 girls per block for about a mile and they're really young. It's different.

yeah and all the "problems" with America are soooo fucking external to them.. Like they are never confronted with drag shows or LGBTQ stuff in general. They'll say things like "you see what's going on in San Fransico" and I'm like.. NO.. I don't live there lol..

Like they consume ONLY this nonese..

You see it on reddits /r/conservative and other the_donald wannabe subs. They just non stop talking about gay and trans stuff and I'm in a very liberal city and literally never see any of this supposed "wokeness" or w/e they are so scared of.

It's like they are living in an alternative reality it's very strange.
