They hire ex-cop contractor buddies and give them gobs of municipal money to do a ‘training’ session where they brainwash the entire force into thinking that they’re at war with an insurgency as dangerous to them as alqueda was to the military that so many of them came from.
This is one of the reasons they’re so trigger happy. Right from academy they’re taught this, and any recruits who question it get dropped. One of the more famous programs is literally called ‘Kill-ology’.
Ty for calling out the non-sense. Somehow accusing Democrats of also being on the take is considered outlandish.
Theyve got us fighting over scraps (abortion, marriage, the right to express ourselves and love who we want) but they are in full agreement on where most of the tax dollars go (MIC, contracting companies of powerful friends, subsidies for factory farms).
Gonna have to wake up the dormant Sheeple.
In the US, unlike most other countries, medical doctors are most at risk for suicide.
That and the full throttle oil policy. Sigh of relief knowing I won’t have to rethink my outlook.
Ahh yes, the freedom loving state. Texas. That’s right.

To add to this, there’s been evidence that as an individual accrues more wealth, their empathy response lessens over time.
My arm chair psychologist hypothesis is that: as the individual sees their quality of life increase, they look at other human beings in deplorable conditions, and their empathy response atrophies in order to avoid cognitive dissonance.
There’s a concept in the study of wealthy individuals which goes over their desire to hide impoverishment from their view.
I agree, it’s an oversimplification. The Democratic party has become the party of ‘going back to business as usual’ and refuses to lower it’s commitment to the corporations that fund it. Trump won 2016 because he was a genuine establishment shaker.
Leftists need a rouge candidate who refuses to bow. Someone who shows promise of CHANGE and not business as usual.
