You may not wanna hear this, but the campus protests last spring played a huge role in how many people envisioned wokeness and elitism. These protests did more harm than good.
Cops really think they should get to do whatever the fuck they want to anyone else, no questions asked, no justification needed beyond being cops. And half of each comments section (I hope not half the populace) consistently agrees with them.
One of my favorite things about weirdo conservative freaks is that without fail they are guaranteed to gush over the most mediocre talent if there's the smallest inkling that their politics align. "I've always loved Kid Rock and uhhhh Disgruntled Cashier #3. What legends!"
