AOC has the post-George Floyd crime wave figured out

Seems a meaningful qualifier that the person delivering the opinion is claiming kinship with those she's delivering it to, but has arrived at a new conclusion via a little free thought. It's important scaffolding to establish that the holder of the opinion is not an Evil person by nature.

If we don't wipe ourselves out beforehand, I can see this kind of shit providing a fountainhead for a new kind of noun declension in Future Stupid English. Instead of a subjective or possessive case, we'll have something of an authoritarian case that establishes the subject of the sentence as an alleged credible person.

AOC said in the tweet that she was getting pushback from Republicans about her prior tweet. Caitlin Flanagan just was pointing out that it isn't just Republicans.

Right, that's another way to put it.

I view it as a different thing.

Lifelong knobhead, here.

Which means I'm going to post something annoying, and possibly quite crude right in the middle of a serious discussion.
