You can hate whatever group of people you have hated for whatever reason and WAKE THE F*CK UP to the fact that they are not the ones who are screwing you. Corporations making billions in profits and not only not paying taxes but getting a freakin" refund. THAT doesn't bother you but a child who happens to be a different color than you getting a lunch is what sets you off ? You can hate who you need to hate but wake the f*ck up as to who is screwing you. I have actually gotten through to people on the other side with this.
You don't have to like everybody in the choir to sing a song that's strong.

(3,600 posts)Theyve always been around trying to fuck it up for the rest of us. We win when people get off their asses and vote. Non voter ignorance, apathy and entitlement could prove fatal. At a minimum, many of them will have their faces eaten by the leopards.
There is a pronounced racial divide between voters and non-voters; white Americans are the only racial group that is overrepresented among 2024 voters, while Black, Hispanic, AAPI, and multiracial Americans all accounted for lower percentages of 2024 voters than their representation in the U.S. population. More than seven in ten 2024 voters identify as white (72%), followed by 10% of voters who identify as Black, 10% as Hispanic, 5% as AAPI, and 1% as multiracial. On the other hand, less than half of 2024 non-voters identify as white (46%), while 28% are Hispanic, 16% are Black, 7% are AAPI, and 2% are multiracial.

Not trying to be confrontational or insulting but, please spell it out! We are not afraid of words. We may be afraid of lawless egregious actions against other human beings but, not words used to accentuate or describe those egregious actions.
With that said, fuck TSF and blowjob Bondi and all the other anti-American shit-mongers that do his god damn fucking biddings!

A pox on mean, stingy people!
