To distance themselves would mean a metaphorical decapitation, which would severely limit their political power, and thats just not something they’re willing to do. Kids grow up witnessing who gets away with it, so when those same kids get older and want to get away with it, they become cops, Republicans or priests, because they know those groups will protect them from accountability when/if they get caught. This issue has been compounding for multiple generations culminating in the running joke we see playing out today.

Predators protect predators.

Roast chickens are loss leaders and are often the cheapest chicken you can find in a regular grocery store.

Think lots of people who grew up around sexual predators understands this, they see the victims as vindictive and ungrateful, in their minds they did nothing wrong. They always twist their actions to be the fault of the victim, so releasing information to hurt the victims is 100% predictable.

Thats assuming they don’t just enforce this one way. With Trump, you have to expect it’s going to be one set of rules for his friends and an entirely different set of rules for everyone else.

This is the exact kind of character growth the endless cycle of rage bait designed to confirm cognitive biases is built to prevent.

This is the correct reaction to a criminal administration violating laws and court orders with impunity, however this is not the reaction we see from most police departments. Police are supposed to work for the community, upholding the communities rules, not for whoever wields the biggest stick, or whoever they agree with politically.

Mamdani told a heckler that he wanted him to be able to afford to live in New York as well.

A pastor who asked Trump to have empathy for people he doesn’t like, was attacked by the entire political movement.

When they say culture war, that is what they want winning and the realization really sucks.
