Were they arguing about Trump’s financial bankruptcy or his moral bankruptcy? Does it even matter? ---

Or you can look at it as a 38-year-old Trump supporter defended his Messiah, and now has to spend possibly the rest of his life in a cell. ---

I mean, Florida has the death penalty. Though this guy’s likely to get a pardon anyway. ---

“Stand your ground.” “It’s okay to run over and kill protesters if you feel threatened” “Neighborhood watchman can kill persons (black) walking through community” It’s FLORIDA, pardon hell, probably won’t even be a trial. ---

[The Black Panthers did that in 1967](https://www.history.com/articles/black-panthers-gun-control-nra-support-mulford-act) (modulo the specific available firearm technology, of course). What happened was that white politicians from then-CA governor Ronald Reagan on down, pretty much to a man, crapped themselves in alarm and rushed to pass gun-control legislation. ---

I would worry that racist militancy and firepower have escalated to the point where groups of visibly armed large young Black men, even totally law-abiding ones, would provoke not a renewed societal commitment to gun control but simply more white-supremacist race massacres like the 1919 “Red Summer” race riots and Tulsa in 1921. ---

Some of the people there do confuse Medicaid with Medicare. And by confusing the programs, a lot of them thought that they were not going to be affected when their Medicaid program that was cut was believed to be the less affected Medicare. ---

A Medicaid user not opposing cuts to Medicare is still baffling to me. Like… you think that because you’re not 65 yet, you’re never going to be 65? You’re just assuming that by the time you’re 65 and Medicare-eligible, some more responsible leader(s) will have restored the Medicare cuts, so you don’t need to worry about it now? What? ---
