Is an organization still considered “fringe” or “far-right” if it perfectly aligns with the current administration?
I would say so. “And yet it moves” and all that.

SomeAll of those that work forces…Some, I would say. We were talking yesterday about how a lot of cops were involved in putting away the Oath Keepers / Proud Boys and testifying against them, and all that.
I think we are entering into a time when the allegiance of the cops in America is going to be divided, between loyalty to the “the system” as it’s actually intended to work, versus loyalty to Trump and his gangs of paramilitary goons. I don’t think any friendship with the cops in that first grouping is to be thrown away or taken lightly, because it can be a very valuable alliance.
A fair and reasonable point that I hope you are correct about.
Not going to edit my first comment because that feels dishonest.
“A disturbingly, disproportionately high number of those who work forces” just doesn’t roll off the tongue. Then again, I wouldn’t have thought that “All research and successful drug policy shows that treatment should be increased (Oh) and law enforcement decreased while abolishing mandatory minimum sentences” would make banging lyrics, but boy was I wrong.
So shines an honest admission of a counterpoint, in a weary world. I salute you man.
