I think I disagree with Stephen's take on this. I'm not sure I understand it. I will say that I think Democrats should flood the zone with two things: truth and righteous anger. Whether you're a person of color, a woman, or a white man.
Because it's not seen as righteous anger unless it's a white guy being righteously angry.
Women are just bitches who should smile more. Or its that time of the month. Or they are just too emotional. Or hysterical. In any case they can and will be dismissed.
Same for POC. Except they ate uppity. Or stepping out of line. Or just angry, not righteously angry, just angry. They can and will be dismissed.
If it happens to be a woman and a POC, then all the negative applies and they can be dismissed twice as fast.
Yep. Metaphorically step on their throats and don't let up until five minutes after all the political fight has gone out of them. And then do it again.
That's what they do and it's the only thing they understand.
I must be missing the point. My take is so what if the white guys don't like women and POC being angry? Just do it. Just let it flow. This is so obvious that I think I must be missing what you and Stephen are saying.
That's a huge self-own by those idiot Rethugs. If the fentanyl was seized at the border, it's not in the country now, QED.
Brad Heath yesterday posted some graphic about how Trump stopped doing drug seizures because he wanted all energy poured into WALL instead. It's no wonder Biden's cleaning up just by restarting.
Exactly. I hate that this is true, but the only Black person in electoral politics who is allowed to be cranky is Maxine Waters, and that's because she's an oldzz.
This was all over my Twitter feed yesterday, and I found myself asking where was this guy during the run-up to 2020. Of course, that's not entirely fair, considering this hadn't happened yet, but remember how much fun with all the Tim Ryans during primary season?
My schaden is definitely freudeing right now... 😈🤣😈

Wait - what? Don't get mad if you're not white because people won't like you if you're a woman or POC and mad?
The people who won't like you are the very people we are mad AT.

Ta, Stephen.

You are missing it. The world, the country, doesn't work that way. I wish it did, but it doesn't.
Racism and sexism are still too powerful and prevalent.
If this white guy who's on the right side wants to use his anger-privilege for the forces of good, then I'm all for it.
What are "House Homeland GOP"? They have their own badge so we'll think they're part of the military or cops or DHS?

Then it's up to us to change it.

First time yadda yadda. My congressman! And his predecessor is Jim Trafficant. For you youngers, google it.
Yes. Yes it is.
