Y’all are letting the pundits make U “feel some type of way” about the results tonight! Look BEYOND what they’re telling you to look at! Yes VA showed what racist BACKLASH looks like but many MAYORAL races showed you what we’re fighting for, diverse America had many wins. Thread

I’d say the racist backlash in VA must also be viewed in the context of these wins! Multicultural Democracy is our ONLY WAY forward & certain types of W people are so fearful of this demographic change they run to the GOP but we can BEAT THEM we ARE BEATING THEM when we show up!
Also Cleveland has a new Black mayor as well!
Also the Buffalo mayor’s race was a doozy. After losing the primary, the incumbent waged a write in campaign to beat back the socialist candidate. Quite a win!

1) Almost every problem we have in this country right now is about White people’s FEAR of demographic change & the GOP exploiting those fears for political gain. It’s ALL about race & racism. These dots are OBVIOUS & EASY TO CONNECT.
2) Voting Rights. It’s NOT even they don’t want Blk people 2 vote per se, they don’t want us to have the power to SHIFT an election. It’s ok as long as we don’t DECIDE the election. GOP can’t win if we vote en masse. So they are trying to rig it, that’s their only path 2 win.
3) The REASON this works for the GOP is because THE MAJORITY of White people for for White Supremacy. Yes even the 18-29 year olds! Every single White demographic VOTED FOR TRUMP! ALLADEM! Youth, women, ERYBODY! W people are choosing Whiteness over DEMOCRACY ITSELF!

1) She is absolutely RIGHT! And let’s connect these dots a bit more because I feel like there’s a HUGE STORY NOT BEING REPORTED! Why was PENCE AFRAID of his own Secret Service?! Allegedly 2 different SS agents were having affairs with Trump women! 1 with Laura, another w Tiffany
2) Clearly that’s a violation of their sworn duties. No wonder Pence though the SS would be on the side of the Trump family during the Jan 6th attempted coup. The fact that the VP didn’t think he could trust his own SS agents should be a HUGE SCANDAL of national interest!
I’m being told it was Vanessa Trump, Don’s ex wife I thought Laura’s was Jr.’s ex wife but apparently she’s married to Eric, to which I say, somebody married Eric Trump?! Anyway…
