I think there are millions of families who would have a word to say about you saying Clintons' push of their crime bill resulted in "nothing" compared to Trump's racism.
Like I said, though, this isn't about the goddamn "both sides" distraction, but rather a reflection on all of us. How many of us voted Clinton without thinking about her bullshit? So then why is there an expectation the other side had to vote "better" than us?
I will tell every one of those families to their faces that Trumps words and actions were worse than Clinton's support of the crime bill. And you know what? Most of them would probably agree with me. The three strikes policy was a
fucking mistake. I dont think you'll find anyone who will disagree with that.
Shit Clinton agrees with that. But it's important to remember as harmful as the three strikes policy was, and as much as I look down on any politician who supported it, it's important to recognize that the policies Trump is pushing are far, faaaaaaaaar worse. Shit, he put in a god damn white supremacist as the attorney general, and his "law and order" approach is going to harm African American and black citizen populations far more than the crime bill did, if implemented. Not to mention the shit he's trying to pull on the Muslim and immigrant populations.
Not to mention, the reason for doing it is worse. The crime bill was a poorly thought out, poorly executed piece of legislation with serious racial undertones, but any legislation Trump will try to pass will not just have racial undertones,
it will be built on the premise of white supremacy. That is why Trump is so dangerous, and that is why I will hold people who voted for him to a much higher standard than those who voted for anyone else. Because it's so obvious he hates minorities, and will try to do everything he can to make their lives worse. And supporting someone like that is inexcusable.
