There was general strike in Oakland today with all the local businesses closed down and they organized a rally. People got up, admitted they were Progressives and that they were wrong about the ideals of rehabilitation instead of punishment.

I think Trump polarizing left vs right caused this knee jerk reaction of Progressives to push harder on no cash bail policies, restorative justice, etc.. Being tough on crime does not equal being a fan of Trump. It means you want people to take responsibility for their actions by being removed from society for a predetermined time.
