Notice how they’re trying to smear the victim, not bring the perpetrator to justice

They’re doing it because murdering wine moms is the MAGA wet dream
If you believe the exit polls, they very much do not want to murder wine moms. While more women voted for Harris than Trump, more white women voted for Trump than Harris. They just shot a white lady in broad daylight. Of the 53% that may have voted for Trump and have seen that video, I imagine a significant amount will think about their choices the next time they see their own glove compartment overflowing with stuffed animals and imagine what it might look like spattered in the blood of a parent to a newly motherless child.
I think the administration understands that and is resorting to damage control after flat denial didn’t work. That’s why the rhetoric is focused so hard on painting her as some kind of outlier. They just realized it could cost them the midterms and subsequently, impeachment or worse.
It’s become cliche with non-MAGAs, but we knew it was never going to stop with arresting Hispanic and Latino people, not that it would have been acceptable. It never stops with just one little infringement on the human rights of just one group. It’ll be the communists, then the socialists, then the trade unionists then Jewish people, then Catholic people, etc. as the poem goes.
But now, they’ve let the mask slip a little early. They’ve demonstrated to millions of voters who thought they were too privileged to be affected that those privileges no longer apply. I wish it were empathy and ethics that were going to change conservative minds, but self-preservation at least works in the short term.
If she was straight, maybe. I’m unfortunately not so sure they’ll care about open season on lesbians.
If they get pummeled in the midterms it’ll be due to the economy, not the murders.
Only if there are free and fair midterms. If they’re not canceled, they won’t be free nor fair. I live in a country where an authoritarian regime was voted in. Do you know what happened next? None of the elections were canceled, but all of them stopped mattering, they became circus shows that people only attend by force or to receive a not even that good reward for it. MAGA knows you want to pull them out of power and they’ve got the means to ensure their rule continues.
I wish Americans would just STOP waiting for the ballot box to right the wrongs. The time to do something is now.
I hope you’re wrong. There’s no way that officer knew her name at that point, much less her orientation. He was fully willing to, even if unknowingly, kill a heterosexual, Anglo-Saxon, Evangelical, stay-at-home mom as long as she was anything but politically right of center. Again, none of that demography should matter, but for those to whom is does, I hope they have or develop the common sense to know that this means they are and have been on the menu for quite some time now.
Are they not using Palantir bullshit and stingrays and everything? Not only that, but the wife was outside of the car filming and maybe said/did things prior to the footage to indicate they were together.
Her wife was right there, so he could in fact likely know her orientation.
I hope I’m wrong too, but don’t underestimate the hoops people are willing to jump through to continue defining themselves as the in-group and every victim as the out-group.
Damage control? They made executing her a cause celebre. They are rallying around executing a citizen for insolance to fed officials.
