Larry Bushart, a man who was jailed for 37 days for reposting a Trump meme, has now sued the cops who allegedly schemed to keep him imprisoned for as long as possible simply because they disagreed with his point of view.

    It’s important that these cops see legal punishment on a personal level.

    My normie lib friends and family are absolutely foaming at the mouth for mass arrests if “their team” wins back power. I think a lot of it is actually coming from the same place as liberal freakouts about disorder and crime in their communities - the open criminality and impunity in which agents of the government are acting is triggering a lot of the same neurons. IMO explains a lot about why Trump’s popularity absolutely collapsed among suburbanites, and faster than in his less obviously criminal and disordered first term.
