I've said it before and I'll say it again -- I'm not getting more liberal, but I am definitely getting more anti-"conservative," as that term is degraded and debased by the modern Right.

Tyre Nichols wasn't murdered because of "affirmative action"

Rather than defend an indefensible murder, right-wing pundits have latched on to a narrative that's somehow even more appalling

IDK what the Libertarian Balko's of the world have done to help the situation. They spread a mindset that the government exists mainly to protect property, and we live in a country where the group most associated with poverty and crime is Black people. Does Balko offer any perspective to interrupt the conservative narrative about Black men ("they're just more violent")? Or would citing poverty rates alongside crime rates be too Liberal for him?
