I love when my Republican friends get outraged over being identified as a racist. Well, whether they are or aren’t, I’ve never seen any of them stand up for black rights. For years now they’ve let Tea Partiers perpetuate the racist image. And now Confederate-flag […]
What Antifa really is: a common enemy red herring
Something all great mysteries rely on is a red herring. In case you don’t know what that is, let’s define it: “Something, especially a clue, that is or is intended to be misleading or distracting.” And nothing unites people like a common enemy. Trump found […]
7 of Donald’s Trump Most Inflammatory Words from His Stop the Steal Jan. 2021 Speech
ABC, a “fake news media” outlet as Trump might say (falsely, it’s one of the many mechanisms he’s employed since 2015 to control the fake narrative he’s sold to his followers), published his “Stop the Steal” speech from Wednesday, January 6. He said things like: […]
