What’s the denominator here?

It’s relative.

Kinda like a vault is secure unless you use explosives.

A lot of those who voted for casual racism are upset that overt racism, Constitutional erosion, and economic instability came with it.

That’s why you’re seeing some of them split.

Conservative ideology is essentially:

Just leave everything the way they were when I was born, regardless of whether or not improvements can be made.

That’s a great speech but it has almost nothing to do with what I said.

They said, comfortably at their keyboard in the A/C, via a device ostensibly constructed due to authoritarian regimes forcing brutal conditions on their workers.

Probably not.

Most cops, like most humans, don’t particularly want to die.

Crimes are one type of unlawful act.

Civil torts are the other.

Historically, Civil Rights Act lawsuits were some of the more potent tools against corrupt police. Obviously that’s going to be different under Trump.

Oh so you claim you’re against fascism but you want people to give up against fascism?

Is it that you’re stupid enough to hold both of those opinions paradoxically or are you just one of those obnoxious contrarians that has to oppose even good things just to get the attention your parents forgot to give you?

Okay fascist.

The price of not only forming a conclusion, but expressing it before collecting information.

Yeah, that’s what’s going to win the day. Defeatist whining.

Keep it up, Eeyore. We didn’t storm the beaches of Normandy without a violin in every hand.

Holy crap I can’t believe I already forgot about DOGE. Feels like ten years ago now.

It seems like you want to have a barely related discussion on American imperialism in a thread about Gavin Newsom.

And has Newsom said he’d like to add to that list?

Ukraine was probably close to as corrupt as the Russians have never stopped bleating, but:

1. They’ve overhauled a lot of their government, largely fixing the corruption mess.
2. What does it say about Russia if they can’t beat an allegedly corrupt and rotting government?

That works just fine as an addendum rather than a replacement.

He’s doing the flex to distract.

An even more convincing engraving would’ve been something like “The working class is finally coming for the billionaires. None of you are safe.” or similar.

You can’t intimidate a dead man.

Who is the “they” in your complaint? Seems to me like “they” charged this appropriately, i.e. not terrorism.

Safer to meme than dispense lead.
