And it's normalizing now. If I had a gun to my head, I'd say that pandemic conditions caused stress and strain on an individual level to be quite inflated, pushing more than typical numbers of people past whatever their individual breaking point was to express violence. Either way, during the pandemic violent crime rose precipitously, then dropped at a similar clip as society normalized. Partisans who baked into their thinking that it was all Joe Biden's doing won't be dissuaded, but truthfully at this stage all we have are theories. Crap-bag DAs in various cities certainly didn't help, but they also cannot be blamed exclusively. My only beef was with "due to the pandemic", said in a way that seemed like it was obvious somehow

Quick, say something about orange man to distract from how stupid you sound right now. Oh, yeah, Biden saying "he'll but y'all back in chains" must be taken literally while "it'll be a bloodbath if Biden is re-elected" is just hyperbole. It's early for idiot o'clock, but I guess you and sloth are tired after a week losing gay chicken.

Bush because he was "bringing dignity back to the white house" after Clinton's affair, then saying a Presdient who got caught raw dogging a porn star while his wife is giving birth doesn't matter.

April 21, 20241 yr Maher's been pushing back a long time. Here, he says a bunch of things that when people on the center or right say them, certain people on the left demonize them. It's happened here as well.

This is why I say they're ideology is 100% dictated by what the tv says. Hilarious to watch in real time.

April 22, 20241 yr "Herrderrr cnn said that Trump used the word bloodbath while referencing the automotive industry this is the same thing as the vice president telling a group of blacks that they will be enslaved if Mitt fing Romney wins the presidency!" Honestly, male liberals are so stupid, it's hard to believe they're real.
