Why am I reminded of that scene from Gangs of New York where the local WASP's are shouting "Lincoln will make all White men slaves!" and displaying pro-Confederate propaganda signs like "Down With The Union!" and "Jefferson Davis is our brother!" as Union troops parade through the streets during a 4th of July celebration.
This whole campaign is like that made into an actual Democrat platform
"Biden Kamala will make all White men slaves!"
"Breonna Taylor is our sister!"
If it's still a local level trial, this could be a factor for the judge to dismiss the most serious of the charges before the trial itself since the jury pool would be so tainted.
