    More autistic people should be jurors. It would be the perfect job for certain autistic people who are very rules based.

      I agree. I am autistic and was a jury foreman about 20 years ago. It was pretty awesome, and I was helping keep the other jurors in line, reminding them when evidence submitted was deemed immaterial and not to be considered in our verdict…all that stuff. 10/10 Would perform my civic duty again (12/10 with rice)

      It would be an honor and a privilege to be on Pissbaby Don’s jury just to have the opportunity to find him guilty, but I’d have to avoid a for cause strike to do so. Thankfully, part of my autistic skill set is that I happen to be a fantastic liar. I don’t lie to people I care about, apart from spinning fantastic tales and then saying, “Naw, I’m just fucking with you. 😏”

      For Joe Schmo, rules-based impartiality. For Republican politicians, self-affirmed white supremacists, shit-stirring talking head bigots, and JK Rowling though, get fucked, here come your god-damned consequences.
