Just ran into the most thin-skinned college professor I've seen around here. Also had no idea why statistics are useful to people, which is fine, but you don't get to not understand it and be arrogant about it. But it happens when your day-to-day is students.
The response to "we'll be violent if you lock him up" is "yea, that's scary, but you're also violent if the coffee siren doesn't say Merry Christmas, so we've decided just to fight back."
Do people realize how easy it is for ordinary people to get their release revoked?
A lot of religious texts just talk about real things in symbolic ways (which is why Hugo's use of religion as symbol for reality is so powerful). For instance, the Antichrist is shrouded in mysticism, but it's just really about a guy like Trump.

I feel like we already lost. Even if Biden wins in 2024, which looks harder to do every day, does it matter? When this much of the population wants fascism, and this many will threaten whoever he wants threatened, how do we work as a county?
There's a certain logic out there that says, well, stupid libs care about preventing fascism, we don't, so nominate our person and the libs will vote for them, but we don't give a shit so we won't vote for a lib. Hostage-taker logic.
God, not everything is about you...but this particular thing? Yea, that's about you.
the thing with caving to bigotry, besides being unconscionable, is that it actually makes things worse for you politically it signals to people that the bigots have a point - and if thatâs true, well, why wouldnât they go with the people screaming about it the loudest if itâs such a problem?
