Missouri Gov. Mike Parson says pardon likely if St. Louis couple charged
Huh, weird, I swore Dems were responsible for everything that happens in "their" cities. It's almost like there's huge institutions working to preserve white supremacy beyond the control of city mayors, and every now and then one of the actors in those systems says the quiet part out loud to make it really clear.
Of course it's glib to say that, but the point is that it's really a vacuous and pointless exercise to talk about complicated political problems with people whose answer to everything is literally to point at the nearest official with a D next to their name. The anti-lockdown protests were a perfect example of this: at a time when most/all states in the country were under some degree of lockdown, protests were exclusively aimed at the nearest Democratic official people could find. When Trump tweeted "LIBERATE <STATE WITH DEMOCRATIC GOVERNOR>" it was Gretchen Whitmer. In states where that didn't work, like Mike DeWine (R-OH)'s, they targeted
the ****ing state health director.
It's just like the Tea Party protests early in Obama's term - ostensibly they're against "spending", but 10 years later now that we've seen that ideology come to full fruition (spoiler: it's Donald Trump), it's plainly obvious they didn't give two shits about spending and were just really mad at having a black president.
Back to the subject of this thread - there's definitely complicated political problems here in which anyone on the left can tell you Dems have their hands dirty (get Victor in this thread, he'll gladly tell you). But you're never, ever going to have an honest conversation about those problems with the people like IHIV or Kelhus who are the spirit animals of those chanting angrily outside Amy Acton's home.
