The assertion that people's motivations do not primarily originate from xenophobia or racism, but rather from a profound sense of dislocation and substitution, should not be misconstrued as denying the potential presence of prejudice.

The problem is vilifying Xenophobia and racism as bad things. They're good things. You should default to suspicion of outsiders.

Hitler was a convicted felon. Trump is a convicted felon. Coincidence? I think not.

Half of these you could apply to Obama and Biden.

Endacted Mass Deportations (instead of proposed)
Promised to Build Back Better
Rule of Law ignored and Obstructed
MAGA republicans a threat to "our democracy"

Arrested Political Opponents. (I added this one)

I am not "vilifying" xenophobia or racism, but rather re-evaluating the order of our concerns. The sentiment of intrusion and violation of my native land is leading me towards xenophobic and racist attitudes. It is the presence of seemingly unnecessary and unsolicited individuals, enabled by both elected officials and unelected charity organizations, that contributes to racial divisions and serves as a political voting tool."

The reason humans evolved xenophobic instincts is exactly what you are experiencing. A default posture of suspicion protects your community. Xenophilia results in third worlders shitting in the street and having fights in your parking lot.

Not necessarily. They may be pushing so that the RNC has it's caucus, and after trump is certified as the candidate, THEN drop the hammer. If Alvin Bragg is all for something, bet your ass he thinks it's because it will hurt Trump politically, not because he's "seeking justice". None of these are official acts, and I don't even think they can be construed as such.

It's the prisoner's dilemma. You may try to act fairly with an outsider, but the outsider is still going to treat you like you aren't and will try to get over on you.

Both Hitler and Biden sure do love German Shepherds.

I don't know what the fuck is going on in the DNC right now, but the fissures are blossoming into full-blown breaches now.

Obama is demanding an open convention despite Biden being their nominee.

Party financiers are basically threatening to take their ball and go home if Biden doesn't bow out. The MSM is in open revolt.

Several of my old friends who are still involved involved in the Dem ground game have reported that shit is in complete disarray; morale has utterly cratered, half of their volunteers aren't even showing up, They are now viewing the prospect of the Donald's return as a dreadful inevitability.

Things are pushing hard in a beneficial direction. The party leadership is divided between a desperate holding action, cutting and running, or trying a last-minute hail-mary candidate swap which would absolutely fuck them, and the downticket Dems are panicking in turn.

We can't afford to get complacent. Laugh at their self-destruction, but be ready to hit the ground running. They're going to pull out all the stops, no matter how fucked they seem to be.

They're dropping more Epstein trial transcripts, this time from 2006:

Epstein Transcripts

The Jeffrey Epstein saga began — and could have ended — in Palm Beach County, Florida, in 2006. The Palm Beach Post, part of the USA TODAY Network, sued in 2019 to find out why it didn't. Now, secret documents detailing what happened 17 years ago when Epstein was indicted on only a single prostitution charge are public.

After a nearly four-year court battle to obtain secret grand jury materials in the Jeffrey Epstein case, The Palm Beach Post has documents in hand and reporters are poring over them to see why the serial sexual predator wasn't stopped by the first prosecutor to consider criminal charges against him.

The Post sued for the release of the materials after it found in its 2019 investigation that then-Palm Beach County State Attorney Barry Krischer undermined his own case against Epstein in 2006. His office never spoke with any of the victims, according to state attorney documents, and once Epstein's famous defense attorneys came to town, his office quit communicating regularly with police.
