"What I have seen is a demand that we get ourselves arrested intentionally or allow ourselves to be victims of violence, and ... a lot of times that's coming from economically very secure white people," said an eighth House Democrat.
"Not only would that be a gift to Donald Trump, not only would it make the job of Republicans in Congress easier if we were all mired in legal troubles ... [we are] a group that is disproportionately people of color, women, LGBTQ people — people who do not fare very well in prison."

ALL THE PEOPLE CURRENTLY GETTING ARRESTED TRYING TO DO YOUR JOB FOR YOU COULD TELL YOU AS MUCH, DIPSHIT

Lmao the fucking endgame boss of liberal idpol is a black senator implying there's a racism ick factor when rich white people complain about them

You can only demand that your elected representatives take a stand for something when you're poor enough to be ignored.

Yeah, Senators famously face more injustice than everyone else. They can't afford legal defense, and the media doesn't care when they're arrested.

Interesting how doing anything is a "gift to Donald Trump" but not stopping him isn't?

Also most of them are rich and politically connected, which matters more than literally anything else for how you fare in prison.

a demand that we... allow ourselves to be victims of violence

Yes. It's me folks. I'm the one that's demanding this. The rest of the quote confirms why I will continue demanding it.

It's like if a firefighter complained like "they want me to run in to a burning building? Pfft as if!"

I could die in the fire and then there would be less firefighters

“Not only would that be a gift to the fire, not only would it make the fire’s job easier if we were all mired in emergency response… [we are] a group that is disproportionately harmed by fire.”
