Liberal democracy is where one party is in power almost uninterrupted for close to 80 years (and counting).
Many years ago, before I had even discovered /r/chapotraphouse, I used to post on /r/geopolitics. Of course as you can imagine the self-important nerds there would accuse people left and right of being Chinese/Russian bots.

“I believed that if we spent her income, we would go to hell and forced her to stay home. I also promoted these values to the people around me.”
He denied any mistreatment at the facility, claiming he ate well, played chess and read books and was even allowed to go home on weekends.
“Through my studies, I realised that radical religious views harm people. I no longer have this mindset. I can get along with people of any ethnicity and faith.”

Please help me crowdfund to get an answer from America’s foremost emoji raceologists.
Do you think the author intentionally or accidentally created a moral equivalence between a racist cop and a black person who hates being oppressed by racist cops?
