Right-wingers are constantly informing me of all the vaccine skeptics in the black community, but for some strange reason they never seem to show up at these things
The most vocal opponents of COVID restrictions indicate that their movement has been fully integrated into the Make America Great Again ecosystem of white identity politics
You know, if we ever did see a vocal anti-mask protest consisting primarily of black people, it is a statistical certainty that MAGA would sound the alarm about those rioting and looting thugs who don’t respect the law and can’t even understand science

D: Maybe you would reach a different conclusion if you listened to what the CDC was telling us
R: But it’s FAKE NEWS
D: Oh, FFS
R: Once you understand COVID is a Democrat hoax no worse than the flu, it becomes quite obvious that mandates are part of an anti-freedom agenda
D: So you think the US government is enforcing lockdowns because they hate our personal freedom, & that’s it?
R: In the words of Sherlock Holmes: once we eliminate everything that we have been repeatedly told is impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth
Thanks, New York Times, but I prefer more realistic scenarios like “Which Harry Potter Character Is Your Soul Mate?”
1. The American people do not have the attention span for 6 viable political parties 2. As it stands, we barely have two 3. They are nominally called “Democrats” & “Republicans”, in what I presume is a nod to tradition 4. More accurate party monikers would be “TRUMP” vs. “OTHER”
5. It is not news that most Americans hold views that fall outside the confines of our current Party designations 6. That is irrelevant to the pragmatic issues which Americans currently face
Put another way: Our elected Democrats keep making these predictions because they really, really, REALLY hate to consider other, more aggressive alternatives
R: Joe Biden has some nerve invoking the name of his veteran son alongside soldiers killed in battle when his son died for a completely different reason
TRUMP: WHY SHOULD I VISIT THAT MILITARY CEMETERY? IT IS FILLED WITH SUCKERS AND LOSERS!
R: How can Biden be so disrespectful
D: Your outrage seems misplaced
R: Well, Biden shouldn’t disrespect the soldiers who gave their lives for their country
TRUMP: I PREFER THE SOLDIERS WHO WEREN’T CAPTURED!
R: Oh, that was campaign trash talk
TRUMP: I WILL NOT SUPPORT THAT LOSER’S FUNERAL!
R: More trash talk
R: My point is, why did Biden have to make it about himself?
TRUMP: I HAD THE TALLEST BUILDING IN NEW YORK AFTER 9/11! THE TROOPS LOVE ME! I SHOULD HAVE A MILITARY PARADE! FOR $50, YOU CAN PLEDGE YOUR UNDYING LOYALTY TO TRUMP!
1. I think ascribing an entire article to “an anonymous confidant” is very sketchy 2. But the premise is very likely true 3. The entire GOP has been co-opted by Trump’s personal vendetta 4. So yes, I’m calling it: Trump will run again rawstory.com/heir-trump/
5. Trump certainly won’t sit back & support another Republican who runs for the office he believes is rightfully his 6. I don’t think he’ll just sabotage the GOP if there’s nothing in it for him 7. Furthermore, the odds of a primary challenger beating Trump are almost nonexistent
8. If Trump is the nominee, that equates to Trump Declaring Victory No Matter What Happens 9. We all remember 1/6, although some clearly remember it differently than others 10. If Democrats want to prevent a 1/6 sequel, they need to prepare for it NOW 11. weasels weasels weasels
