I think about this girl all the time. Her own father shot her over Trump. Trump. I just can’t wrap my head around it. Or around the jury deciding to just let him go. There’s corruption there somewhere.
Grand juries exist to make sure the norms of law enforcement and prosecution don’t stray too far from the common populace.
It’s why the guy who threw the sandwich at the CPB guy about a year ago did not end up with a felony.

Back during his first term there was a story on the Risk podcast where an Asian guy told the story of going home after some time away at college and visiting the family that adopted him when he was a baby; and how, when he said he didn’t support Trump, that family almost beat him to death right there in the living room. It was one of the most heartbreaking stories I’ve ever heard in my entire life. I think about that shit a lot.

Maybe it’s a bit of both.

No, worse, they are rabid humans.

Tribalism has always been a thing in human societies. We’re at the phase we’re finding out how it operates within a democracy.
Surprisingly, or not, it’s even easier than before.
