    I don’t disagree that society has been unjust in actuality for quite some time.

    I think public sentiment has been shifting so that more people are aware of how tiered our justice system is and that change in perception is what’s interesting.

      I think Trump has shown people that they don’t need to hide the tieredness of the justice system anymore so it’s not surprising that more people are aware of it.

        Trump is fucking bizarre. In pre-Trump times, the Jan 6th rioters would have been thrown to the wolves even by the politicians aligned with them because, you know, fuck the poor.

        The fact that Trump may pardon them is quite surprising.
