Maybe in the New Jersey liberal bubble. But lots of people support trump in polite company.

My two cents remains that catching rape charges for participating in an impromptu gangbang sounds like (literally)fucking around and finding out, and that universities are not the people to handle this.
Viral story, sûre, but not actually much to see here.

Most Trump supporters disagree with him about the Iran war and about half of them do about AI.

'Pulling it out of your waistband' almost certainly is a technical violation of the law around presentation or brandishing.

"Not having rules because they shouldn't apply to respectable people" is like Anglicanism's raison detre. See also, their origin story.

While suppression of 'thug' culture is a good thing, it probably won't work(people will just get mad about it) and a lot of fairly justifiable criminal stereotypes are not something an individual can change- young black males getting hassled can't exactly michael jackson on short notice.

Ditching the gun was a serious crime. Carrying it may well not be.

The sine qua non of keeping the peace at protests is separating the two sides. The police following proper procedures around patriot front doesn’t require explanation; them not following proper procedures around other groups does.

In reality, the police will just say no, and only beat you if you resist arrest.

Gun rights orgs have been very successful at expanding concealed carry. They’ve made real progress on silencers. Losing in blue states is almost exactly the same thing as prolife- both have managed to defeat federal efforts.

In practice, that tends to turn into the Turkish arrangement….

Conservative Christian churches have behavior codes and statements of belief that get them like 80% of the way there. Lefty groups use self attestation, which is easier to get around up front.

Wouldn’t this be reasonable suspicion, as for a traffic stop, and discarding the gun is itself probable cause?

I think that was part of the problem for this location…

Odd. I’ll occasionally see a Hispanic or Asian masking- but never black.
White people who mask seem to generally be in clearly poor health.

In 1900 ‘native Brit’ probably referred to people who lived there before the saxons/celts/whatever in romantic imaginings. ‘Native’ wasn’t how they talked about civilized people then.

Have you considered that the establishment/conventional right just doesn’t agree with aryan race warriors rather than being intimidated into moderation?

The prolife movement and gun rights movement have been extraordinarily successful- much more so than the DSA- in right wing organizing.
What tends to happen is that right wing ideas about race are mostly embraced by very disagreeable people who cannot cooperate. But there’s plenty of anti-LGBT orgs, gun rights orgs, anti-tax orgs, socially conservative groups, etc.

‘It’s wrecker shit’ from people who keep claiming that they don’t want to do a Stalin.

Or they didn’t find it particularly important, because this novel was already going to be the award winner and they didn’t give a damn about anything else?

I don’t have a hard time believing Talarico is likely to win. The public doesn’t know him, Paxton is a terrible campaigner who’s mostly known for bribery and sex scandals, and it’s a blue year.
I do think that Abbott and French are significantly undervalued.

I give Paxton’s odds at 45%. Higher than prediction markets give him, but he is mostly known for bribery.
IME most of these people vote Republican in other races.
