I’m with you, they seem to really like being the underdogs and it seems to work out well for them from a fundraising perspective. It definitely feels like they’re angling to just barely lose.
I hope they eventually prove me wrong too, but it does feel like when they do well enough to win it’s mostly an unfortunate accident in their eyes.
It’s somewhat tricky, it refers to ‘the people’ or ‘persons’, but some things don’t make sense if you apply it to non-citizens. There’s been cases to establish how it applies in regards to specific amendments, but I haven’t heard of something coming up that definitively established whether that applies for the right to assemble.
If I remember right, things start to turn around somewhere north of 350k yearly.
It’s not that you’ll never be happy, it’s that you’ll never be done. Some days that sucks and some days that’s the best part.
Push through it, giving up hurts more.
I definitely support that we’ve pushed this show out of the forefront, but this is where a lot of the arguments for the flag as a ‘symbol of southern pride’ come from. It’s a weird argument, and it is definitely not a fair one, but there’s very fond associations in the south with that car even from people who had no clue where the flag came from. Super successful attempt to help the confederate flag be seen as acceptable, whether on purpose or not.
It’s a weird show too for someone who isn’t from the south… Racial diversity is non-existent in the show, but that’s also pretty accurate for its location… It had some awesome car scenes, but no depth. The only hot take in the show beyond the flag painted on top (which wasn’t even a hot take then) was that the government was widely seen as corrupt and it was more than a bit sexist.
It’s just for-profit prisons but now in El Salvador:
Primary goal is stated as holding deportees, but the option of holding US citizens was floated by El Salvador as well. Deporting US citizens in this matter should currently be illegal.
