roughly my face reading some quotes here. There is truly well of unbound optimism and naivety in americans
i mean there's a reason the U.S. carceral system brutally murdered or used emergency powers to permanently imprison nearly every single leftist agitator that popped up in the prison system
Marx was replaced by weird fringe Evangelical groups.
The Aryan Brotherhood are all eagerly awaiting their "get out of jail free" cards that are coming on January 21st.
Maybe if I work hard enough I can be the one doing the oppressing!
I didn't get that vibe (obviously quotes are selected in some unknown manner), but just profoundly weird stuff:
Donarico Caudle, who is incarcerated in North Carolina, said in an interview that he thought Trump was going to take a look at problems after going through his own trial. “There are things that you see when you look at this legal system that’s dirty,” Caudle said.
They were sentenced to prison time for their crimes, so Trump should be, too. “The law should be the great equalizer,” one respondent wrote. “No one should be above another in terms of the range of punishments nor given leniency simply because they’re a certain way (I.e. richer or a celebrity).”
For others, incarceration was a strategic choice. If the former president goes to prison, maybe he would be compelled to make changes when he gets out. “Donald Trump needs to see with his own eyes what normal people suffer here in prison, and how unjust is all the laws and the prison system,” one respondent wrote.
At 18, Brandon Baker was sentenced to life in prison for a home invasion. His sentence was enhanced because of gang activity. He is now 42 years old and incarcerated in California State Prison. Like many of his peers, Baker thinks Harris would be a good president, but he is wrestling with supporting the woman who was attorney general in a state that has rejected his bids for earlier release. He said Harris helped drive mass incarceration and needs to take responsibility for the harm she has caused.
Many survey respondents said the stigma undercuts their full reintegration into society.
“How can I expect to be taken seriously by my government/society,” asked one survey respondent who is incarcerated in Arizona, “when there’s such a strong expectation for Trump to be discarded for being a felon?”
Makes sense then, I just thought it was american style brainworms infecting the working class.
I mean its almost childlike "if he were here, he would get it" and "the law is the law".
Likely wild support among whiteys is connected to some aryan nation shit. but someone should hug those guys in quotes.
Do they have any simple survey results?
The article is so all over the place. It's one of those poll results articles that feels intentionally obtuse.
