As you watch videos of ICE abusing people in MN and elsewhere,

remember one thing. People VOTED for this. People voted to put a racist, fascist, war-mongering child rapist BACK in the White House. They did it of their own free will. No one held a gun to their head and made them pull the lever for Donald Trump. They did it knowingly, willfully and gleefully.

There can be no unity or healing with people that vote for person like Donald Trump. They are not worthy of forgiveness. They are not worthy of empathy. The only thing they deserve is scorn and mockery.

Democrats need to run a non-politician for president.

Democrats need to run a Malcolm Nance-like person, or even run a Republican like Miles Taylor.

It's time to get serious about holding traitors accountable.

They have already lied to me.

If you are running for public office, then you are, by definition, a politician.

In their minds, Trump is enacting the vengeance they wanted against “Libtard Communist”
states.

It's not the fault of trans people, gay people, POC, feminists or immigrants that MAGA twerps never did anything with their lives.

and the answer they give me is rooted in some flavor of bigotry, what then? I'm not going to waste my life clock trying to convert them.

They project their fears, failures and weaknesses onto others.

That way, they don’t have to do a damn thing about them.

It’s really sick.
