And that force started during Reconstructiton. The propaganda that we are all living through today started early and swiftly and it is goddamn incredible that black Americans have been able to keep a light shining on that part of history despite all this.

Oh I want to be clear - I don’t think you are an asshole, I’m just referring to people meeting your “love” message with a little skepticism today. I try to not attack people but I’ve let anger and bitterness get the best of me in the past. Good thing is 2020 has worn me the fuck out.

Clearly a lot of people think you’re trying to be an asshole here, but I appreciate this. Screaming and insulting online doesn’t bring people to your candidate, whoever that is. You gotta bring the support if you want to garner more of it.

I am generally a Bernie fan but am willing to bring a critical eye to him and things he says and does, and that has gotten me big harassment on Splinter (RIP). It’s real. Acting like it’s not real is stupid. I mean, at least try doing #notallBernieSupporters or something. NEVER HAPPENS YOU’RE A LYING LIAR is pretty…

This has been done to make communities of color more flood-prone for a long time now. It’s no surprise.

Sure. There’s more information now. Not really a huge :gotcha:.

So is the inquiry still open though? I mean, he’s got months to keep doing crimes to rig elections. Keep exposing them! McConnell wants this to fizzle out and is planning a sham so he can say “look it’s a sham” to the voters. Like if McConnell is going to threaten to dismiss impeachment, KEEP PASSING ARTICLES until he…

RIGHT?

I know right? Like, we’ve been living in a fog of lies for two decades, the fog has just gotten thicker and more disorienting lately.
