I have yet to meet a lib who understood To Kill A Mockingbird
You'd think they read a book where Atticus, backed by intellect and truth and a lifetime of working within the system, righteously proves a man's innocence despite all odds, and then the system worked and everyone lived happily ever after.
Edit: What are the downvotes for? The whole point of the book is that the system and all the justifications are just a pretense for those with power to wield it the way they want, and all the rightousness and superlative competence applied within the system could not stop the jury from convicting Tom or the prison guard from shooting him in the back.
Libs of course just see how great attacus is and don't understand why the trial didn't end with Tom getting declared innocent.
This doesn't even require reading subtext, there's a whole scene on the courthouse steps after the verdict where it's spelled out for Scout and the reader.
... pretty sure that's not the intended takeaway of 'To Kill A Mockingbird'.
Dude thinks it’s a fuckin documentary of an ideal court case
