or just be one of the tiny minuscule minority that get national attention....

lots of guilty as fuck cops that get off scott free when no one's looking. They just kill people though. Nothing as important as scaring a bunch of rich people in a fancy building.
i guess i should have clarified changed AND convicted, just so you wouldn't get confused over there, woo. i mean, i figured that would have been obvious, seeing as how you can't be convicted without being charged.

breath deep...listen to the waves.....inhale....exhale

Just pointing something out, that's all. This jan 6 thing got the world's attention. It's a little different IMO.

Getting both charges and/or convictions is a thing that doesn't happen to the same standard when it comes to cops. The differences between the two weren't what I was referring to.

Michigan, Republican Ryan Kelley, who is running for governor, has openly attacked the idea of democracy. “Socialism—it starts with democracy,” he said. “That’s the ticket for the left. They want to push this idea of democracy, which turns into socialism, which turns into communism in every instance.” Kelley’s distinction between “democracy” and a “constitutional republic” is drawn from the John Birch Society in the 1960s, which used that distinction to oppose the idea of one person, one vote, that supported Black voting.

In turn, the Birchers drew from the arguments of white supremacists during Reconstruction after the Civil War, who warned that Black voters would elect leaders who promised them roads, and schools, and hospitals. These benefits would cost tax dollars that in the postwar South would have to be paid largely by white landowners. Thus, white voters insisted, Black voting would lead to a redistribution of wealth; by 1871, they insisted it was essentially “socialism.”

That context explains Kelley’s insistence that “we truly are losing our country.
