Don't lump all felons in with the orange antichrist. I've known plenty of felons who did something stupid and are genuinely remorseful. Some of the nicest and most caring people I've met were felons. When our "justice" system will jail mothers stealing food for their children, but let the bankers who caused the 2008 financial collapse go free, we can't just trust that the justice system actually gets things right. I live in Idaho, and possession of over 3 ounces of weed is a felony. Like yeah that's a shit load of weed but it's fucking weed. Felony weed charges shouldn't be lumped in with the Pedophile Of The United States. He's a genuinely evil person.

Also if you Google "common felonies" you'll see that we've all committed a bunch, technically

I did not anticipate seeing the words, ‘not all felons’ 😅
