I kept telling people that Frederick Douglas helped Lincoln's campaign at a time when Lincoln couldn't promise to end slavery. I got called every name in the book for suggesting that a less than perfect candidate was much better than an absolute fascist.
Which, given proper context, should put them high in the running for scum of all existence.
Slavery never went away, they just became sharecroppers, which is a form of slavery.
SCOTUS ruled that sharecropping was a form of slavery in the 1960s. BTW, Clarence Thomas and Roberts want to overturn that ruling....
My conservative relatives on the wealthier side are upset, at least. These economic policies and Musk's foolishness have soured them enough to question their media consumption.
I checked the mtg one and yup people were cheering him getting removed.
It's that the one where they tazer the minority?
I just saw the initial removal. Then she talked about how Democrats are violent, to make everyone assume he was a Democrat.
You just described my mom's YouTube feed. Just metric fucking tons of copium. The Midas Touch has like 20 videos a day, each of them with titles like Trump BLASTED by Immigration JUDGE! or Trump suffers MAJOR LOSS and FREAKS OUT or Trump has PANICKED MELTDOWN as he meets HIS FATE in COURT!!1!
None of this is true. It's all happy fantasy. The sky is literally falling, but these fuckwits are saying it's ok, go have a picnic, everything is working out, and all you have to do is go look outside and see THEY'RE COMPLETELY FULL OF SHIT.
One side is setting everything on fire, while the "other" side is busting out marshmallows and graham crackers.
