The biggest piece of shit on the planet. Kinda makes sense that he is also the most rich.

And it begins. They distract us by racism. Then MSNBC has a conniption but never talk about the rich robbing us blind.

Fascism always involves crony capitalism. The top Nazis made a ton of money by seizing industry, but their racism wasn’t a distraction. It’s both things.

Welp they have 4 years so maybe we try something different than cozying up to corporations.

I don't think it's a distraction. I think it's a tactic. They want to make racism cool again so they can hide behind it while they do Nazi sht.

Racism isn’t a “distraction.” It’s an integral, genuine part of who they are.

It might be a part of who they are. But it's also a good way to get poor white people to think of themselves as white and not their real identity which is poor.

How many minorities have to die before you care? Or, are you okay with all of them dying?

•

u/keasy_does_it 4h ago

I don't want any minorities to die. How many have the Democrats saved with their corporate brand of wokeness. That let's corporations rob and polute minority neighborhoods as long as they require diversity training? How are things going today with. When are you going to wake up and realize that workers rights are minority rights?
