If we're to have any shot of getting out of this, I really need my fellow white people to get past our apparently hardwired belief that something being illegal means it's impossible.
Because I keep having the same conversation over and over again.

If we're to have any shot of getting out of this, I really need my fellow white people to get past our apparently hardwired belief that something being illegal means it's impossible.
Because I keep having the same conversation over and over again.
Just from today:
"I don't believe Trump is doing that because it's illegal and that means he can't do that."
"I don't believe what Trump is doing is illegal because if it was, he couldn't do it."
"The only people who can break the law are illegals because they are already illegal." 😵💫
"There's never been a warrantless search. That's impossible. The Fourth Amendment prevents that from happening."
"I don't understand how this isn't stopped because courts aren't allowed to not follow the law."
Hell, someone told me today I should call the media because they legitimately thought they were the first people in US history to have their constitutional rights violated. I swear to G-d they thought it had never happened before.
And I really think this is a big factor in why we're here.
Oh, one more common denominator? Yes, they were all white and cis. They also all ran their legal questions by AI first.
