I have been fairly critical of some elected officials during all of this bullshit, but the biggest difference between them is the good ones have seen the shit we’re dealing with firsthand and know what regular people are doing on the ground. A lot of them can’t even speak to what we’re all doing.
You don’t need to be, say, patrolling for ICE or personally delivering groceries yourself, but I shouldn’t have to wonder if you’re even interacting with regular people who are doing those things. Your words and actions make it clear that you’re not really one of us.
