      I reject this beggar mentality that we can’t do better because of how the chessboard stands today - as if it has sat forever unchanged and immutable - Obama stands in stark contrast to that. Clinton (awful politicaly and personally toxic as she was) still won the popular vote against Trump. In 2016 when he lied and ran as an outsider, promising to “drain the swamp”.

      Seriously, fucking racist as fuck ‘left’.

      We’re going to have a genocide of brown people right here, but they don’t give the slightest shit.

        Americans have been force feeding one another the most vulgar anti-poc propaganda decade after decade for my entire life.

        It’s so crazy to hear the handful of college Leftists who picked up a copy of Zinn or ran a union drive at their local Starbucks get blamed for billions of dollars and millions of hours of hate jammed into peoples’ eyeballs and ear holes.

            you don’t have all the rednecks in the country organizing to cleanse you.

            How did you come to this conclusion?

            I escaped the south once, now I have to escape the country.

            You’ll never outrun the propaganda, particularly when you’re as much a vector for it as a victim of it.

              Mother-fucker, I outran literal rednecks with bats, I lived there, what the fucking fuck?!

              Are you serious? You genuinely believe it isn’t that bad?

              What do you think it’s like?!!?!
