If lib partners aren't flipped because of BLM, covid, economic depression, climate collapse, indigenous oppression, mass immigration/exodus, israel, yemen, amazon, billionaires, boogaloo boys, etc then either you're not doing your job right to use context to guide/encourage them to better views or there's a deeper incompatibility and politics is just stirring it up
my partner went from "ACAB is kinda extreme" to saying it herself in one year :sankara-salute:
I also got her to stop reading mainstream news after making her watch the debates with me and she saw for herself how much they spin any threat to capitalism
My partner too, now she explains to other people that it's not about "each individual cop being bad" so much as "the system that police operate under does not prevent them from being bad"
This is an excellent point, wish I could promote it more but people always go "yeah but my second cousin's dad is a cop and he doesn't always brutalize every brown person he sees."

Ditto. Wife got an ACAB t shirt to were to protests.
Ginsburg's death had her shook, and now she can't stand the Dems anymore, because they're so feckless.
It's been a journey.
What a lass
