the democrats over years have intentionally tried to cultivate a base of suburban home owning high engagement liberals who watch a lot of TV news and can and will max out an ActBlue donation and never considered once that they too might one day start to notice patterns of behavior

Should be fun for the education system try and build trust in the community and help these kids in a few years after we prosecute all the ICE-stapo. We'll surely get more education funding to catch them up and not have their mandated test scores used for privatization scams, right...RIGHT?!
