    Your dipshit casual friends, whom you need to dump immediately, clearly haven’t watched the entire video, or are entirely comfortable blatantly lying about it.

    The video is clear. She starts to pull out, realizes there’s oncoming traffic, then waves at them to pass, then two masked men exit the unmarked pickup truck brandishing weapons and one tries to reach into her car to open the door. So she took off like anyone in their right mind would when two randos with guns try to pull you out of your car.

    Your casual friends are bad people. Stop interacting with them.

      again, these are co-workers, and this was the first indication I got from them about this sort of opinion. I’m not besties with these people, but do need to professionally interact with them.

      The point is more that this is in idication of how typical americans feel these days. These are as ‘normal’ of people as I know; all my friends run in lefty circles and are well informed, so not typical american normies. I was just taken aback that otherwise normal, functional people could see things that way. I shouldn’t be surprised, just the week prior I heard so many people accept that fucking bullshit daycare story without a moment’s critical thought about it. It doesn’t matter that the centers accused in the video have been exonerated, it doesn’t matter that there has been ongoing investigations and prosecutions as a result. People hear something that triggers them and they just shut off their brain.

      That’s what we’re against, I don’t even think the assholes doing this are the biggest problem we have, I think the biggest issue is the apathaty and stupidity of the masses.
