Rachel Powell, a mother, was found guilty on nine federal charges.
if you wanted to get mildly conspiratorial about it, you could say they phrased it that way to make you feel sympathy/pity for her because they don’t want you to think she did anything wrong
I don't think that's conspiratorial whatsoever. It's pretty plainly the intent.
Same as they did for Kim Potter when she went to trial. Cardigan sweater, dressed like everyone's grandmother, looked like she should be offering you cookies every day as you rode your bike by her house.
i definitely agree but i try to hedge my bets cuz you never know how ppl will respond to that kind of information in TYOOL 2023
Makes me less sympathetic for her. Her having kids though & being part of that MAGA culture is VERY concerning though. But you know.. there are lots of men & women that don’t think too deeply about politics & many that don’t share their spouses politics as well. It surprises me - but I honestly don’t think someone wakes up crazy one day.
Also spouses that get surprised later most likely didn’t know because they were too afraid to ask &/or probe into meaningful & telling areas for one reason or another. And many just go along to get along, & I hate that as I couldn’t be attracted to anyone w/ shitty political beliefs & I feel like others should do the same so us that care aren’t stuck looking for partners or a partner unknowingly being w/ a crazy person.
Or, "She's a mother? Those poor kids. I have kids, I would never do that." It's probably "they're putting away a mother!" but one could hope.
