Reporter: @[email protected] Reason: Conundrum indeed since this is reddit 2.0
Tread on me harder daddy
“He’s OUR criminal, so it’s ok!”
Sounds about white.
Sounds about reich
That's a new one.
So you did Nazi it coming
They back a felon and the most prevalent gang in the US. Seems logically consistent to me.
They probably support the murderers in uniform the hardest.
There is no conundrum here. When you're rich and white, the term felon has no meaning.
Nah not rich and white. I've seen poor and white, poor and black, rich and black all back him no matter what idiocy the orange man shows.
Well, it's clearly a vowelous error because he though I/O, instead of U.
Trump's crimes were all breaches of regulations. Not real crimes like existing on the wrong side of the color chart.
But more seriously isn't the police itself known for using their "discretion" unevenly?
It doesn't seem that much of a contradiction to me.
That is 100% what these Blueliners mean. "Allow the boots to tread on all the people beneath me."
I don't imagine they see a contradiction - it's "back the badge" not "back the unbiased rule of law"
It's even more amusing when you consider how the Trump administration kept trying (and failing) to slash law enforcement budgets.
nice try, but you can't make me support Trump
What if he passed universal healthcare, established world peace, and walked on water?
At that point I wouldn't be voting for Trump but the person he's trapped in a body swap scenario with.
There is nothing he could do to convince me he would do any of those things since he didn't do them when he was president. Same with his promise to leave NATO.
But if he did become president and did all those things, we'd have no further use for him in power, so why would we support him after that?
Hens for Fox '24
Conservatism should be a disqualifier for positions of authority.
Looks like they're perfectly well aligned. The difference is that cops can commit felonies and not get a guilty charge.
This is only a contradiction if you don't understand that the "thin blue line" slogan was never about supporting the police upholding the letter of the law, or even the spirit of it. It was about supporting racist cops who disproportionately target minorities and are quick to use lethal force against them.
If Trump’s felony convictions had happened before the election they’d have carried a little more weight.
