It might be unpopular but it’s also true that the EXACT same nuance is required to understand why the Black American voting majority enthusiastically supported both the “crime bill” in 1994 AND Bill & Hillary Clinton from the 90s until now.
Feels like I’ve mentioned this blindspot umpteen times before, but here it goes again for the nosebleed seats. People need to understand that “defund the police” rhetoric on the far left inevitably catalyzes White fearmongering about Black “lawlessness” on the far right. 🙃
In other words, the folk whose main goal is perpetuating fuckery of the Democratic party’s agenda and its marginalized base want nothing more than to paint BIPOC communities as resistant to law & order while simultaneously aiding & abetting White supremacist domestic terrorism.
In more other words…
What none of these agitators & instigators want you to know is that it was the pragmatism and altruism of the Black American voting majority that forged a centrist but right leaning, bipartisan, 90s era coalition that had the VOTES to pass an assault weapons ban & VAWA.
Hello.
Yeah, I said assault weapons ban. Black folks were fully on board with that and VAWA b/c the White powers that be made sure to flood our cities with guns, drugs, alcohol/tobacco and a bloodthirsty “war on drugs” police force that decimated the Black community in the *1960s-80s*.
In case you’re keeping track at home, this is also the same fucked up Black “lawlessness” line of “reasoning” (on both the far left & far right 🧲) at the root of “Kamala’s a cop” propaganda. The aim is ALWAYS to paint Black folk as criminals who fundamentally don’t abide laws.
Ultimately their objective is to fearmonger us out of doing police AND gun reform b/c the end result is maintenance of the status quo, more guns on the street, more crime, more death, more chaos, more anger, more confusion, more Whitelash & MORE Republican destruction of America.

Bottom line is DO NOT fall for this “defund the police” bait & switch bullshit. Look no further than the very telling reality that the FOP hasn’t lifted a fucking finger to increase their own safety by supporting gun reform. More guns & crime = more 💰 = Job Security. #WakeTFUp
We have less than 9 months to get our asses in gear for the next election. If you’re so busy arguing the finer points of “defund” v. “reallocate” that you’re sidelining reform of America’s gun fetishism & racist/militarized police force, you’re on the loud & wrong battlefield. ☠️
As @JonathanMetzl so eloquently advised us re: the pitfalls of the CRT “debate” during our book club discussion, we can’t afford to get distracted by the semantics of public policy when our GOP opposition is purposely stoking Whitelash for POWER. #DyingOfWhitenessWithJonAndJane
Since y’all are here for it, here’s yet another reason PJB has NO fucks to give about telling the “defund the police” crowd to either shut the hell up or find a better slogan. He’s been to the “defend the police” Whitelash rodeo before & knows this is the fuckery of DISTRACTION.
All roads lead to Putin and the GOP, from CRT to “defund the police”.
Do. Not. Fall. For. This. Shit. Y’all. #DyingOfWhitenessWithJonAndJane #PoliceReformNow #GunReformNow

I see a lot of folk side-eyeing Obama for laying low so far in this moment & while I totally understand it, I also think there’s a very strong possibility that amidst their brother to brother deliberations he determined it’s best for Joe the 🐐 to captain the ship to the bridge.
Like, just given the whole context of controversy & fervor for a contested convention rather than a “coronation”, plus the fact that it’d easily be viewed as the 1st Black POTUS exerting undue pressure to nominate a 2nd Black POTUS/1st woman POTUS. He’s still the no drama guy.
The few days/weeks of wait time provide much needed cover for what would most assuredly be yet another controversy, poutrage and Whitelash over an “unfair DEI process” (🙄) that NONE of us can afford to distract us over the next 3 months of crunch time before the election.

Madam President Kamala Devi Harris or bust.
First campaign ad: #Harris2024 #TheAntiTrump #JusticeIsOnTheBallot
They said Joe wasn’t a strong enough man to debate Trump & pushed him out. Now they’ll get to see a strong enough woman *prosecute* the ENTIRE case against Trump & drag *him* out for good. Justice. Is. On. The. Ballot. That’s what y’all wanted, that’s what you’ll get. #Harris2024

One thing about the narcissist psyche is it *can’t fucking stand* not being the center of attention. So much so that Trump’s exploitation of the shooting at his Klan rally is now the 2nd time he’s frantically spun controversy & chaos to reposition himself in the media spotlight.
IOW, Trump’s so hungry for attention/ faint praise that he’s willing to take the risk of diverting 👀 away from 2-week wall to wall coverage of Biden’s age/political viability (that per conventional wisdom served Trump well) to sensationalize a mass shooting by a Republican perp.
Image
Though he’s constantly clamoring for the spotlight/manipulating the MSM, I’m counting this as the 2nd time in reference to how he contends w/Biden stealing his shine on the campaign trail. In ‘19 he committed an impeachable offense b/c he couldn’t abide Joe’s frontrunner status.

The story of the Trump rally shooting isn’t the prospect of “sympathy votes” or MAGA’s perennial martyrdom of Trump, it’s that the gun violence visited upon America by the NRA/GOP has now been directly visited upon Trump/MAGA too. They’ve inevitably victimized their own selves.
When you stoke domestic terrorism you don’t get to feign shock, awe and martyrdom when domestic terrorism eventually comes for you. The call is coming from inside the GOP’s house.
Image
Bitter fruits have come home to roost. Trump/the GOP’s outright refusal to treat White domestic terrorism & guns as an existential threat to public health/safety is responsible for lowering the defenses of the law enforcement agencies who didn’t prevent the Trump rally shooting.

Maybe it’s b/c Kamala was my 1st choice in ‘20, but the “Biden isn’t being the bridge he said he’d be” gripe is so absurd. The millisecond he announced her as his choice for VP, I had ALL the confirmation I needed that Biden was a bridge to Kamala. Misogynoir kills brain cells.
Image
The bridge is staring you in your face but you’re pretending it’s not there because it eventually leads to a Black woman being your POTUS one day. We see you. Image
You know who else sees you? Joe Robinette Dark Brandon Biden, that’s who. Matter of fact, he saw the fuckery of today from YEARS away and hopped off of the sidelines to be the bridge before the alt-left, White “moderates” and the MSM blew up the whole Democratic foundation.

It’s not so much that the “cut-and-runs” don’t trust Biden/Harris in 2024, it’s that they didn’t (still don’t) trust the *predominantly Black woman base of the Democratic Party* who ultimately chose BOTH halves of the winning 2020 ticket. They never wanted US to be the deciders.
These are the same mostly White “moderate” pundits & electeds who thought Obama should be primaried/replaced & Hillary deserved a brokered convention instead of a “coronation”. They started ‘20 vilifying both PBO & HRC in favor of their preferred alternatives. Ain’t shit changed.

They’re still PISSED that despite their best efforts and media blitz to shove Bernie & the also-rans down our throats in the early stretch of the primary, we STILL voted for the most reliable White ally left on the stage and mobilized the Obama/Clinton coalition to nominate Joe.
