The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

Dang, you're probably right. I keep forgetting about this downward spiral of irrationality we're all on.
Go into an Atlanta workplace, or perhaps the offices of a major American corporation and voice strong support for the police during the time period of the last three weeks.
Get back to me on how well that works out for you.

In my office we're advised not to talk about things that could be deeply offensive or controversial, irrespective of the topic or political aspect. A number of people have been spoken to by HR for making stupid leftist remarks, as well as sexist and other comments
Don't be a prick in the workplace, folks. Save it for when you get home.
Incidentally, since the lockdown, I've had to close down a number of video conversations when the team discussion started getting too political. This isn't normally a problem.

When i lived in Atlanta, I saw many examples of what the police there face every single day from the hordes of welfare recipients down town.
I was walking across a parking lot headed into the World Congress Center one day, a rather large black cop was walking about 20 feet in front of me. In the distance I could hear the "ratatatatatat" of an automatic rifle, as well has shots from a semi-automatic handgun. I asked the cop if he heard it too, he said "sure do." I said "where's it coming from?" He turned and pointed toward a hill off in the distance, which as far off as it was you could still see that it was absolute squalor. He said "it's coming from those projects. The only way we will go in there is if someone gets killed, and even then we won't go in unless we go with an army of cops and a full swat team."
