But I thought red states were bastions of freedom?

Blue Ridge Georgia is posh AF

Once I moved to a blue city in a blue state, I realized how much freedom I actually have now. Being able to walk to bars/breweries and not be car dependent, but still have the option if I need it, being able to take my dog into restaurants as long as she’s well behaved, being able to lay in the park in the summer while drinking a beer or being high, hiking on substances… the list goes on.

What better way to oppress women than by making it illegal to not have your child with you.

Women better get ready to be accosted by police asking where their child is - and if you don't have one you'll be entered into the police lottery where everyone at the station gets a chance bestow a child upon you before you can leave.

Was a woman officer who initiated this.

Are you referring to the sheriff, or the lady who called 911 for seemingly no reason. Honestly, if that lady was a local, I'd probably want to keep an eye on her cuz she probably calls in every little thing trying to get people in trouble. Had a neighbor like that.

Yes. Lazy and low effort acronyms that lots of people don't know, therefore devaluing the purpose of it in the first place, often posted in an echo chamber where you aren't really finding new hearts and minds to change anyway. So it winds up not really having any effect on anything other than your smug sense of satisfaction for having typed a thing.

Well done. Bravo. Impressive contribution to this complex topic. This sure solved the issue with bad police. That did it.

I also have four letters I could contribute and it'd be just as helpful.

If you bury your head deep enough into propaganda to not see reality, they are!
