What will they replace it with? A society where they will be very powerful and wealthy. Those are probably the only two main criteria.

Great stuff from start to finish, by the way.

I actually voted for Obama in 2008.


Done walked off the plantation for good!

Is that just as accurate? If not, then...

Welcome to America in 2020. There may be a small minority of people who haven't lost their minds, but everyone else has.

I was watching YouTube last night and now I can't find the link or I'd share. But there is a big movement in Hollywood to not hire white males. This includes the actors, producers, film crew, you name it. One expert said that if you are a middle aged white male in Hollywood, your career is now over.

We'll see how that goes. But sure seems like reverse racism to me! I think people are getting tired of all this division, I know that I am! There is a big difference between raising awareness and being punitive!

I walked away. Never dreamed I’d become a Republican but then again, I also never dreamed I’d live in a nation that has punks trashing and taking over major cities while elected officials sit back and smile, either. Nope, I’m done with D. Super totally done.

When conservatives go to liberal talk shows often they needed police protection since there will be angry leftist mobs waiting to burn and destroy property. While you'll never see an angry conservative mob waiting to do the same for a liberal speaker.
" When conservatives go to liberal talk shows" The same when a conservative goes to speak at colleges IF they are invited at all.

I would rather vote republican and for Trump than to endorse anything Democratic. Joe will lead us into doom.

It's good to see happen.

I've had my eyes opened the last couple of weeks as well, about the disgusting things happening (for years) involving children trafficking in politics, with high-level CEOs and the powerful wealthy elite who run the world.

Trump is really cleaning things up for good. Some indictments of big names are reportedly coming soon...

And the election is essentially turning into a good vs evil thing now.

Biden is unfortunately on the evil side of things.

To the OP I stopped taking you seriously when you posted this :

"I never thought I'd see my own countrymen tearing down our statues and defacing our history."

Which History? That of the traitorous Confederacy?
