Susan Collins called the cops over sidewalk chalk.

38. Certainly, we can discuss the Emory students' situation and the Collin's situation.

and the difference.

Trump 2016, certainly does not seem like a direct threat, unless you understand what he campainged on. He campaigned on hatred of immigrant of a certain type, hatred of LGBTQ people, and "making America Great" which has been a not so subtle code for keeping America White. He encouraged his supporters to "knock the hell" out of protestors and said he was going to "end crime" presumably by going after Black and Brown people who he implied, commit all the crime. He said people from the "inner city (Black people) were going to "invade the suburbs (where the White people live). He also said (granted it was before the election) that you can "grab em by the pussy" and had 20+ allegations of doing just that, so his record with women was not great.


“Susie, please, Mainers want WHPA —–> vote yes, clean up your mess,” This was drawn on the sidewalk near Collins' house. Collins has famously been "concerned" with things but when it actually came to protecting women, Black people, poor people, etc... When it came to choosing a Supreme Court Justice who would respect "stare decisis" she choose all of Trump's picks who had NO intention of doing so. There is no implication of violence, no threat, just a "please" clean up the mess you made when you voted to confirm all these horrible judges.

Are you saying that the reactions are equal? That the people in the two stories have equal power in society? Equal access to protection and security?
