The median cop is handing out traffic tickets, working security, running off trespassers, and taking reports of domestic violence and theft, not personally dealing with serious crime or those connected to it. He goes home to a suburb where his profession is high status among his neighbors and has strong union protections. There are far leftists on college campuses who dislike him but they’d just find some other excuse if he was an accountant or a plumber. There’s nothing personal about it.
Cops arresting gangsters and carrying out raids routinely wear masks.

The left will lose, and hard. There won’t be a troubles because antifa will just all get murdered in a few weeks.
My hunting club could beat up antifa handily, let alone a more selected group.

The right has successfully tamed violent fringes on multiple occasions, notably including in the pro-life movement.

Trump may not be homophobic but he seems very unlikely to shrink from taking advantage of an opponents homosexual orientation, regardless of his personal feelings around the subject.

Most individual teachers(not all, but most) care about their students learning. I’m not saying they’re perfect or it’s the #1 priority or anything but they do care.

I mean, an octogenarian being a bit past his prime isn’t the weirdest thing thats ever happened. Statistically he’s going to go senile eventually.

And you think they’ll vote Republican instead? Hitler with a D after his name would win the black vote by large margins. These are simply not malleable votes.
Trump did better among blacks because of young male defections against their elders. This isn’t something democrats can fix.

See, I think America’s first female President is going to be to the right of Attila thé hun, it makes her look strong and masculine and aggressive. Maybe pickup-truck driving lesbian if the GOP gets more gay friendly.

Avoiding inflation was structurally impossible when Biden entered office, at best he could’ve kicked the can down the road a bit, but not enough to save his regime. He still would’ve gone senile, had a migrant crisis, etc.

Or maybe Harris is just making another baffling decision? She’s made lots of those.

Metoo was about professional women in high status settings. This skews educated even if the examples that are highest profile mostly arent.
I have not, to my knowledge, argued that ‘trans panic’ wasn’t a thing that ever happened(although I have argued that it has not applied to murder). I have argued that it’s less common and less random than trans activists like to portray. But MTFs getting beaten up/attacked by a potential partner is a very plausible thing.

Getting a job as a plumber is so easy that affirmative action doesn’t make much difference. Granted it takes a few years to become a well paying job, but still.

Driving a commercial vehicle with proper registration and wearing a blue-collar uniform also gets you out of stuff.

And I think most cops react to 'Imma sue the shit out of you, lemme get your badge number, you're agunna regret this' with karen'sign the ticket this is not an admission of guilt etc etc'. But cops are human, some of them react badly.

What you're referring to is what Catholics would probably call 'guardian angel stories', which nobody's going to investigate. 'My guardian angel got me this job interview or stopped a car accident or whatever'. Do evangelicals point out miracles that didn't happen to them, more than on the level of FOAF tales, like Catholics or Orthodox do?

ADHD will not harm an HVAC career. Autism, assuming it's actual autism, probably will. Minimum social competency is required to move up the career ladder and if your son is the classic nerdy introvert with little physicality this will probably not come particularly easy to him. In particular electricians haze their apprentices brutally and HVAC expects either a salesman or an aggressive, takes-no-shit-from anybody personality.
The usual trades career path is grunt work with the jailbirds-apprentice-technician/journeyman-maybe master. Stupid people don't(because they can't) get their master's license but it's not universal among good technicians- manager pay isn't actually a big increase over hourly so lots of guys treat it as a meh/why bother. Both grunt workers and apprentices are basically doing the demanding physical stuff to pay for their learning and skinnyfats usually fail out. Grunt workers are, as I mentioned, on a crew full of jailbirds, near-actual retards, and fresh meat that may or may not make it, apprentices usually work one on one with a technician. Neither one is exactly a 'great crew'.
I found tech school easy to pay attention to compared to k-12. The curriculum was most like a science class, but very... applied? Hands on? Something like that. It shortens career progressions; it does not let you skip steps.

My boss answers the phone with 'yes sir' to show he's paying attention and treating the interaction professionally.

Because arguing that any vaccine is unnecessary, ever, is a major controversy in America.

You joke, but firearms purchases by gangsters girlfriends are already a major problem that democrats won't address because it isn't posturing at lawful gun owners and republicans won't address because it admits gun violence is a problem.

When a lower class white behaves in an antisocial way, an upperclass white corrects him.
No they don't. When was the last time a wigger got corrected by his social superior? Or any other kind of obvious trailer trash.
I'm guessing in your example that you gave off a middle class vibe. If you'd been wearing a wife beater and had a neck tattoo, no one would've said anything.
Off the top of my head, thé Dallas police shootings indicate that violent attacks on police as police tend to be a major news article.
