Honestly, I would fall into this trap. The federal agent genuinely sounds like she is a person having car trouble, this trap would work on me because I guess I too am a fundamentally decent person.

Imo the fatal flaw in the US system is that DHS doesn't have to have courts with juries for prosecutions. No jury would convict after hearing this was how somebody was caught

    Juries are regular citizens. Regular citizens voted for Trump and don't care about felonies, pedophilia, eating kids, fraud, adultery, etc.

    Man shoots his own daughter in an argument about Trump in Texas and the grand jury wont even indict. They are fucking sick in the head.

    I read that article too, the number of texas shootings that aren't prosecuted paired with like the uvalde school shooting response just shows how little texas residents care for their neighbors and how unseriously they treat deadly violence. I'm not sure Minnesota has the same problem.

    I wouldn't be so sure, I live in the Minneapolis suburbs and work in a more rural area, there are plenty of people out here who are brainwashed by right wing propaganda. They'll be turning in their neighbors for thought crimes the moment the regimes asks them to.
