(149 posts)the rest of the winter and spring a people are gonna be pissed off and feeling helpless. They'll do something else that'll have the nation on fire for the summer. Then they'll point to "lawless Democrats" to try to sway the election. It's pretty obvious.

We the people will be on fire as the gestapo continue to ramp up the outrageous behavior and harming more people in more brutal ways as they have been because they WANT US TO ERUPT so that the great orange satan and icebarbie can send out all the troops and tell them kill whomever at will. That is what I think the OP is talking about.
It is what we're seeing though the regime would like to step it up to full on assault every day, everywhere.

Or am I mistaken about the perceived apathy on campuses now?

I'm convinced that what is what he was trying to do on Jan 6 2021, but the cops were patient and did not begin shooting folks which would have given Trump the optics and excuses he needed to find a reason to delay the certification.
I'm so proudd of the left for the patience that has been shown so far (really? Frog costumes), and hope that we continue to fight in the courts and at the ballot box. Patience.

(4,936 posts)A third of the country is in full support of the murder, another third is mad about it but wont really do anything and the final third has no idea or doesnt care.
Ross isnt going to face any charges. The crime scene was disrupted and purged, the perp removed to a safe place with the help of the government and the administration has declared ICE immune from any prosecution. A go fund me has already raised well over half a million dollars and counting for Ross who will go on to live a life he never would have had if he hadnt murdered that innocent woman.
Theres no justice in this country. And no one knows how to fight for it anymore.
Sorry for the bad news.

(37,483 posts)If the law doesn't side side with the masses, then, in a democracy of laws and not men/mobs, well, the mobs rule and democracy must be as the founders feared--rule of mobs.
That's bad. But the strange fruit of society that some, apparently, want.
