All criminal defense attorneys should be Public Defenders. Money should not allow you to buy a better shot at justice.
-
Public defenders should be paid at least as much as the prosecutors in the jurisdiction, and have all the same resources to investigate, etc. Radical hot take, I know.

People voted for Reagan because they liked having a daddy tell them everything was going to be okay, and everything that has gone wrong in their lives were the minorities and the government. They don't believe in personal responsibility.

People voted for Reagan because the Carter years were a shitshow, tbh. Though I don’t think it was exclusively Carter’s fault. Although it definitely didn’t have anything to do with ‘personal responsibility’, except to the extent that was a racial dog-whistle
