Personal anecdote: family member ran into an old church acquaintance. This woman said she knows Trump is awful but she has to vote for him because illegals and guns and "late term" abortion....
Have you ever noticed that it’s socially acceptable to tell poor people how to spend their money? But when we ask the rich to stop hoarding wealth, the response is always “it’s their money.”
I feel like the photo of this Black women surrounded by dozens of masked, anonymous, white nationalists is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.
Wanting a normal life is now considered a luxury in America.
Not a yacht. Not a vacation home. Not a fancy car.
A normal life.
Groceries every week that don't bankrupt you.
A place to live that doesn't consume your entire paycheck.
A doctor you can afford to see.
Energy left at the end of the day to actually be present with your family.
That's what Americans are asking for.
And the system is treating it like an unreasonable demand.
If you think liberals steal elections and control the weather but also let Republicans control all three branches of government you may be fucking stupid beyond repair.
Both German immigrant Peter Thiel and South African immigrant Elon Musk have now publicly stated that not every American citizen should have the right to vote.
Thiel said women shouldn’t vote.
Musk says “takers” shouldn’t vote.
They should both be denaturalized and exiled.

Texas Attorney General, and now Republican nominee for the Texas Senate Ken Paxton gave his friend 28 days in jail after he repeatedly raped a young boy.
He does not have to register as a sex offender.
He didn’t even lose his license to practice law.
Do people realize how big a failure Trump’s fireworks show was? In 1976 for the bicentennial, 500,000 people showed up, compared to Trump’s 150,000. The population was much smaller then. Trump’s turnout was BARELY ONE-SIXTH that of 1976 on a per capita basis.
Elon took $38 billion from US taxpayers to make a bunch of rockets explode while he illegally cut pediatric cancer research, meals on wheels and USAID. He’s the ultimate fraud and parasite.
An event so atrociously planned and horrendously executed that the “largest display of fireworks ever for a July 4th celebration” are being launched on July 5th and — less than 1/4 of the way through — are being almost entirely obscured by their own smoke.
@RachelBitecofer I live in DC. We can't go outside even though the temps have dropped. The air is too toxic to breathe because Trump increased the usual 20k units of fireworks to 880k.
Want to know why the dc fireworks looked like shit??
It’s bc Trump ordered the amount of fireworks quadrupled from its usual already large number and this is what you get when you do that👇
@AshleyLKetchum7 Basically, people are now free to buy elections.
Previously, there were limits on how much financial coordination could exist between candidates and parties.
Now, wealthy donors have far more influence.
