    How the GOP managed to thread that ideological needle I will never understand.

    Cops uphold property rights and white supremacy and GOP pols and voters know this.

      "No authority, except for cops!"

      It's just hard to imagine being so secure in your identity that you think it's impossible for the police to be a threat to you.

        Whatever else you want to say about Jan 6th, it was an incredible example of people so coddled by the state and economy that they couldn't imagine consequences for their actions

        Like we know not to take fuckin' selfies at protests because we'd get hunted down and slaughtered, while these chuds didn't even have that concept in their heads
