Time for your quarterly reminder that degenerate is a Nazi term, indicating the literal degeneration of a gene pool. Things this referred to: interracial marriage! Queerness! Disability!
It pretty much indicates they don’t think you’re human!
It’s not a cutesy way to say “leftist”

They keep changing tactics but keep kidnapping my neighbors. Every time they claim they’re drawing down things get a little worse.
ICE observers in Minnesota are skeptical about the White House's claims of a federal drawdown.
But they have noticed in recent weeks a shift from aggressive street sweeps in Minneapolis to instead target people in the suburbs or quietly waiting in unmarked vehicles of residential areas.

Ring has done this before. They partner with cops, get backlash, withdraw a bit, wait for it to calm down, and then go right back to working with cops. Don't believe this spin.
