63% of trump voters cant bring themselves to feel favorably about the sentiment âblack lives matter. â 73% of trump voters oppose demonstrations/rallies. This is why we said what we said and and we say what we say. Black lives matter.
Thereâa a video from Black Lives Matter plaza of peaceful protestors getting pepper sprayedâ brutality has to end.
Why wonât you say âBlack lives matter?â

Then try arresting
and charging the
officers who killed
Breonna Taylor in
her sleep. It's not
enough to fire
them. Take away
their pensions.
Defund the police.

So much "can't erase history" stuff, and I am gonna take it on face value that y'all don't really understand ( a VERY charitable read rn).
Lemmie break this down for ya:
Say you came over and put a statue up in my front yard-- one that was in the image of the men who have verbally and physically assaulted me over the years. How do you think it would make me feel?
Now, lets make it spicy: that statue, lets say it was built to highlighting the virtuousness of the men who harassed, hospitalized, and hurt me?
Do you think I'd wanna come home? Do you think I'd wanna be anywhere near it?
Would you like to see the face of your tormenters every day comin' and goin? "History is history" really feels like "suffer, bitch."

After being asked to denounce white supremacy, Donald J. Trump spoke directly to a neo-fascist white nationalist domestic terrorist organization and told them to âstand by.â
Are we as a nation so numb that we are not up in arms, figuratively or literally? Iâm shocked that this was on the national debate stage; and shocked that this isnât the headline in every major new outlet world wide.
The sitting president also said that he did not believe that the election could be legitimate this cycle, and that he would not peacefully transfer power, nor would he encourage peace during that time.
Instead, he encouraged his white nationalist followers to stand by.
Can anyone defend *not* voting him out?

Thank you for voting.
This year, I’ve been really touched by how many of my friends and loved ones have sacrificed their time to help others vote.
Thank you for helping others.
I am in admiration of this act of non partisan civil service.

I’ve been divisive
and dismissive of a certain kinda vote.
If that was you, I’m sorry i called you a trash human.
I hope you come around and understand where the hurt is for me, and folks like me...
...and that you want to care more about me and the folks I love the next time.
