    So you haven't seen any of the racists become incited, enabled and completely out in the open since Trump took center stage 5 years ago? That's just merely something the news has told you is going on?

    I'm not going to tell you how to feel but there's no way around it- you're in for a very rude awakening my brother.

    pluto✰ where the opioids?

    Oct 16, 2020
    no..i don’t think i’ve seen any “more” of them other than during literal riots where EVERYONE is outside

    other than that, i don’t expect them to disappear the same way i don’t expect black panthers to go anywhere although yes they have been spotlighted a bit more to try and attach them to trump when they get scared they’re losing the black vote

    i used to go to a boarding school in hick town PA in 2012 and there was kkk all around us and it was an all black school. never bothered us but they were there

    i havent seen one statement from trump endorsing them in any kind of way, justtt a lot of media stretching for headlines to make “left” twitter change their panties. did you watch the town hall? he addressed it some more there

    didn’t the charleston shooter happen under obama’s term? he was pretty “incited, enabled and completely out in the open”

    this stuff has been around and will continue and it’s not any one persons fault, hate is just in the dna of our country unfortunately, everyone fuels on division

    Charleston shooter?

    A woman was ran over and killed by a neo-nazi during Trump's presidency.

    it’s almost like the electoral process has to change. You gotta win elections to do that bud! You can b---- & complain about your preferred candidate not winning OR go & do something about it.

    all of this is besides the fact that Donald Trump has been a dreadful President & voting for him is entirely foolish. At least two of the public figures you named would agree with me!

    Jet brings up some decent points but I still don’t think four more years of Trump is the answer.

    The two-party system (mostly the way we operate with it and who the parties choose as their candidates) isn’t ideal by any means, but it’s simple enough. If you don’t like the way things are going under one old rich white guy, try a different old rich white guy next election.

    @Jet✞ what pills u on man lol
    Like you’re conflating so so much. Yes “left Twitter” is hysterical and not real but u can’t honestly think trump is good for America lol. U lose me with that jaded contrarianism wake up

    Yes the country is f----- and a lot of the problems were facing are complex, frustrating, whatever. But thinking a chaotic game show Change agent is the answer? How closely do u follow this stuff

    edit - and like yeah man pre trump racism still existed and yes, tbh, was emboldened by the same Internet brain dipshits who support him and beat off to qanon today. I’m concerned ur faking like ur enlightened bc you’ve read some of the same cockamamie bs guys like space monkey do. Fact is that trump has escalated and validated that s--- even more. Irrefutable, despite you anecdotally getting along with the klan (?) in some s--- town for wayward boys.

    Andy being racist again. Suggesting Jet is on pills because hes a black man who is a free thinker. Maybe he just took the red pill? This is what they did to Kanye, they called him insane ect.

    Am I missing something because as far as I can see the cnn article literally just explains why this is a dumb way to look at the data lol. I don't rely on cnn for unbiased news any more than I do fox but this isn't a partisan issue it's about a disease that affects everyone in the world.

    https://www.politifact.com/factchec...-carlson-distorts-new-cdc-report-makes-false/

    edit: also you can't call cnn biased and then follow up with a substack article by a brietbart reporter lol

    Idk I refuse to read a cnn article.. fox is the most trusted news source though. The article I posted was very unbiased and pointed out the facts while the cnn article is just an opinion like everything else they do.

    why does being a contrarian equate to bs tho..? i get the impression y’all would literally vote for anyone the dnc tells y’all to vote for because it’s under that party..

    joe biden only gets respect right now from his party cause he the nominee but don’t nobody like that n-----! he’s just, kinda there. zero charisma, doesn’t command s--- in his party, he’s 100% not a leader and maybe a quarter of the public speaker barack was, he just doesn’t convince me sorry!

    yes but, when “animals” can catch covid and the cdc adds new ways it’s transmissible every day, people who wear masks are catching it and europe is having a second wave! mandatory mask mandate is just, not a direction i’m tryna be a part of cause it feels like the first domino

    i want errrrbody to still be safe cause it’s a real virus but that should be a personal choice

    http://www.wral.com/coronavirus/fac...-19-patients-wore-masks-not-exactly/19340391/

    85% that caught it said they were mask wearers

    but isn’t it interesting how masks “don’t protect the wearer”? like, think about that

    if it doesn’t protect the wearer then..why would mandatory masks help nullify anything? it would be..about the same cause that would mean they’re not even catching if from like “breathing” or that sort of contact. in a crowd full of people wearing masks, does everyone leave with no covid?

    2021 new national masks and gloves mandate

    I mean, no. I disagree - I don’t fault you for not following the discussions here but I’ve made my passionate support and argument for Biden known over the past 18 months. And Tbh he’s met every moment In this race, including his dnc speech, to covid. Underrated if not generationally talented orator whose message and persona is rly suited for this moment, against trump. I’m not voting against trump I’m 100% voting for Biden lol, as are millions and millions of other voters But that’s not even the point here - this is clearly a historic, nasty period of time to almost everyone w half a brain, and it’s got to be repudiated. You need to do more research man.
