Americans fervently believe in equal justice for all, not just under law but within public institutions such as the media as well, polls have shown. And yet, one recent poll leads to a disturbing conclusion: That America is increasingly turning into a two-tiered system of justice based on politics and beliefs.
The Golden/TIPP Poll (TIPP is also Issues & Insights’ polling partner) asked 1,310 voters online this summer the following question: “Generally speaking, do you agree or disagree with the statement: “There is a two-tiered system of justice in America depending on your political affiliation and ideology?”
The results of the poll,

Does the bear sh** in the woods? This is a rhetorical question at best.

Did you poll any of the J6 political prisoners or their families being held in Bidens gulags? Their responses would be interesting.

Why not ask those individuals languishing in DC jails without due process for over a year and a half.

Did anyone in theMueller mess pay any consequences for changing fisa court docs? Was anyone jailed for year long riots, burnings, looting of cities?? Which party created a bail fund? Who got by with lying to congress? Who got by with having classified docs on their server? ...Compare J6...900 jailed.. to year long riots.

There are public defenders and there are legal firms loaded with ivy league talent and class ties. We've always had a two-tier system of justice. Get yourself a public defender and you'll quickly understand the difference.

A better question might be...does America have a justice system? We have more lawyers than any other country in the world feeding off the legal system and look at what our society has become.

The favoritism of OTHERS has been around for a long time. The reality that young men do not wish to get married is an example. They will not commit because they can be tossed into the muck when ever the woman wishes.

I've been saying for years that the justice system is reserved for the wealthy and well connected.

It’s three tiered
1) Democrat politicians and friends - never prosecuted
2) MAGA - destroy them at all costs
3) everyone else

The two tiered justice system question is interesting, but without context rather uninformative. Republicans believe its two tiered because Hunter isn,t under more scrutiny, liberals nelieve it because Trump isn't on death row. Both are biased positions and not surprosongly mirrored by the independants.
Much more important os the TReated fairly by the media question. The overall numbers say that there is some concern in the general populace, but the demographic breakdown is devastating. As expected, the beneficiaries of the bias (the left/Democrats) whose position is constantly reinforced don't see an issue. They believe that they are unquestionably right and the news is just "proof" of their infallibility. A classic case of confirmation bias. Sad part is most are completely blind to it.
The republicans, the ones most marginalized, are as expected overwhlmingly seeing the bias but since they are expecting such treatment after so many decades of this snark, confirmation bias is also a real problem. So far its just politics.
But the independants, thats different, and they see the bias just as strongly as the Republicans. Thats the bellweather, the canary in the coal mine. Independants views on social issues usually mirror the general population, simply because independants lean left or right, just to a lesser degree than the Ds and Rs. Many are simply disinterested in politics altogether. Confrmation bias is not as big an issue here. The left is losing the battle in the public sphere, most of the country is starting to take note of how bad the political environment really is. ANd since this type of propaganda is antithetical to the American ideal it evokes a pretty gutteral response.
Had the elft kept it subtle like in the CLinton years they could get away with it, but they are falling for the oldest trap in the propagandists book. Theyve been at it so long they have come to believe their own propaganda, they have forgotten that their propaganda only works if it is subtle or if they can completely control the flow of information, an impossible task in 21st century America. Their propaganda has turned into gaslighting and people hate being told lies that their own experience contradict. Propaganda is a balancing act, an art and even Goebbels fully understood that people will believe anything, up until they can no longer fool their own eyes.

We DO NOT have anything resembling a Justice System. What we DO have is a Legal System run by crooked politicians, Lawyers and Judges. Did I mention CROOKED?
