Oh, the lady who barely won by a few hundred votes after a recount in her overwhelmingly conservative county.

I have to drive through that area for work every so often, and her campaign posters were just a picture of her with the word "freedom" under her picture.

That's it. No actual slogan or thought process, just the word "freedom." I always translated that to "freedumb" in my head whenever I saw them.

When I was about 7 I got 'arrested' at the airport for taking baggage carts back for people in the carpark. They cost $1 to rent and gave back 25c when you returned them. I was selling them for 50c. I was just waiting for a flight with my family and bored.

Imagine how caught off guard Breonna Taylor must have felt

edit: commented before realizing this wasn't about the other patrons being offended by a display of the brutal reality we live in, but some sick fuck GOP shitheels reveling in her death like it was a training video or something. Not sure if/how that changes the context :/

I like to think that metaphors are only to be used to anamorphise and and recreate an idea using a metaphorical construct that is most relatable to the reciever of the abstracted construct with eventually the intent to make one seem less informed than the deliverer of the concept otherwise they would just be explaining how full of shit they are while not communicating anything other than ‘do what I said but not in the way I said it.’
