Hopefully that doesn't last for long. A LOT of attitudes changed overnight in Uvalde after the shooting happened. I've never seen a community turn on their police force with such unity before. I really hope they carry that momentum to the ballot boxes.

They won't because voting isn't done with your head. They'll just vote for another "tough on crime" Republican and kick out the old police chief.

It's worse than that.

I'm sincerely sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but they've already proven they want the same leadership that was in place that day.

The sheer number of R voters who would vote for satan himself as long as there wasn't a D next to his name astounds me.
