To say that the manifestation of trump and the current GOP is every Americans fault is HORRIBLY out of touch.
Not only am I personally offended by it, b/c I've been screaming from the rooftops for 30 years about our broken system and it's ramifications...

...but I'm offended for every single american who's had their voting rights taken away, or who's been beaten down by a system that worships money and power in which they have none.
Is it logical to tell the black community, who have been systematically devastated...

We used to one community everywhere. All of us. I actually hoped we'd spread that to the world.
But the poltical parties' unending quest to take and keep power, especially the GOP, have destroyed our sense of community.

Where are all the mini democracies we used to depend on daily? Our PTAs, our unions, our (yes) community organizations, our heavily attended town hall meetings?
We no longer listen to each other and instead scream at each other from afar, then wonder how we got here.

For millennia the only thing that has enabled the tasty pink packages that our bodies truly are to survive has been numbers against predators and bad humans. We're inherently social beings for a reason...

So I'd like to take just a minute to break down a couple of attacks trump and his campaign are gonna leverage against the Biden/Harris ticket, and why they won't work. We'll leave aside trump's HISTORIC unpopularity. 1/ politico.com/news/2020/08/1…
So here we have the most obvious, and tired, attack the GOP has. The old "radical left" argument. They believe in this one b/c they think it does two things: divides the Dems and scares the middle.
They tried this with Obama. How'd that work out? 2/
The second line of attack they'll use is "she'll raise your taxes." Now leaving aside the civics lesson the trump administration has given the US about who ACTUALLY has the power to raise taxes, this one's a loser too. Americans WANT higher taxes on the rich. 3/
Okay you GOTTA read this. Here we have trump's answer when he was asked about college football going ahead this year. It's not the entirety, but it's damn close.
I'll provide the question in the next tweet and his answer will follow.
Seriously, read this it's mind blowing.

"What do you think about college football going ahead this year?"
Trump:
"They want to play football and they know better than anyone else . . . One of the great doctors said these people are so powerful and so strong and not lots of body fat. . . maybe none in some cases..."

"...they’re very healthy people, people don’t realize it’s a tiny percentage of people that get sick and they’re old and it just attacks old people especially old people with some kind of a physical problem, a weight problem..."
