like idk if that video is gonna become a huge rallying point because those things are always impossible to predict

but like if you showed that vid to a bunch of well-meaning but ignorant white people it would force them to recognize that poo poo is getting bad

ofc to blood drinking republican death cultists it was perfectly fine for an off-duty officer in plain clothes who never identifies himself to drag a civilian onto his property against their will and discharge a firearm at them

the past few years' worth of legislation from north carolina alone should convince you these people don't give the slightest poo poo about the constitution

lmao yeah they've also learned that even if they lose court cases they can still abusively legislate because they can get the benefit of a law when they need it (such as say, voter suppression during an election) and then forget about defending it after they no longer benefit from it

see: what just happened with the voter suppression laws in NC

then when they need another abusive law they just pass a new one

how do we know trump is even stressed about anything in his life? dude takes extra long weekends off. of course his wife, children, and everyone else in the world hate him but how is that any different than the rest of his 72 years on this plane of existenz

if his staff can manage to keep him in a bubble of praise and happiness and make sure to only ever spoon-feed him positive news and never let him get a glimpse of the simmering hatred the rest of the world has for him, maybe even including never letting him meet with world leaders again, then he will be perfectly happy and content

sarah jeong was angrily subtweeting about this article yesterday, saying the author's white privilege allowed her to infantilize these guys and not take the potential danger they pose (at least in a gamergate sense) seriously while non-white dudes wouldn't get the same consideration

not a bad take if you skimmed the article but the article goes out of its way to argue that the reason these dudes are so dangerous is that society affords them this extended adolescence not permitted to anyone else while investing into them the same rights and privileges of adulthood

well I mean it paints them alternatively in sympathetic and critical tones so yeah I can understand why someone might be bugged by it but the reality is a lot of the people facilitating milo's (and the greater alt-right's) poo poo really are still mentally children who literally don't understand the real consequences of what they're doing

Which is the way it actually functions but also the way it becomes dangerous.

yeah check back in a any time between week to four years from now to see if this will last

they did this poo poo at least half a dozen times on the campaign: trump would gently caress up bigly, face a huge backlash, spin his wheels trying to get out of the mud, bleed popularity, and then his campaign would get a lid on it and shut him up and shuttle him out of the spotlight where he could get cookies and milk to bribe him out of his tempie tantie and distract him from his phone and then they'd tow him out of the mud and get him back on course and a week or two later he'd be back to his old habits

When will all those things materialize in terms of action against him as the president?

well I'm taking "screw up" as a more broad idea, like, anything between making his life stressful and lovely to outright getting him removed from office

but like, to take legal weed as an example

if he goes to war against legal weed that would be a sitaution that would be really hard to predict the outcome of because I don't think anyone in the white house really understands just how much revenue states with legal weed get from it (colorado got like $1bn in revenue from it last year alone)

they would be shutting down a multi-billion dollar industry for no real benefit except that brefferson jessions hates weed and can't beat his dilz unless it's illegalized again
