Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end.
Speak your truth, fight and believe.

I hope that's true, but history shows us MAGA is just the latest iteration of America's deep-seated racist tradition. The neo-Confederates will just rename themselves and continue their racism.

I had to stop the video to read it, and it's an interesting choice of words. Maybe some MAGAs will see it.

And, as Marshawn knows, nothing can stop the demographic shift away from racist MAGA republicanism.

We cant just assume all of these ethnic groups and races that Donald Trump and his party hate will vote Democratic, as seen in the last presidential election.
Donald Trump received close to half of the Hispanic American vote and 25% of the black male vote.

My money is on Marshawn’s prediction, not BillyJoeBob’s.

We have seen the Latino and Black vote in special elections come back to normal levels in VA and NJ for example. He isnt on the ballot and his disastrous policies are very unpopular. I wonder what the Cuban community commity thinks?I live in a minority majority county, 65% Hispanic Mexican and its mostly a male phenomenon. They were especially loud and boisterous in 2024. Do not hear much from them now but the GOP is running a lot of bat shit nuts down here now, one is a Holocaust denier for the borderlands. This is the district that Tony Gonzales resigned from
