Most Democrats are NOT wary of fighting hard. It’s the useless Dems who consider themselves “centrists“ who are always wary of anything that requires standing on principles. Because they have none.

Literally the worst advice to give esp when Black and Brown people are being snatched up everywhere by groups of two, three, and four goons in LEO uniforms.

I agree. This is their deep seeded racism. Look at them deporting brown skinned but importing white skinned South African refugees. They proved it right then and there what it was all about if anyone wasn’t able to see it before.

Edits of voice text while walking:
1) And WHILE yes, there are some unstable people who take action in reaction to the incitement of violence, ALL the GOP has done is given permission.
4) Using the term “radicalized,” is in a sense AN excuse....
6) Are the militia .... BEING radicalized?

It’s the difference between acknowledging Pandora’s box exists, and there’s a danger to opening it and working assiduously to undercut those who are working to open it. And not acknowledging that Pandora’s box exist at all.

Are the militia in Minnesota, Colorado, California, Washington state Michigan and the rest of the country are those people being radicalized? No. they’re being given permission
We are a white supremacist country and any and all elected officials that do not admit this are part of the problem

Using the term “radicalized,” is in a sense and excuse for white people to feel like they’re not responsible for what’s going on. But we are all responsible.

I consider one of the biggest failures of the Biden administration, and there are several massive failures was that he refused to acknowledge that we have racism in this country. You can’t solve a problem unless you acknowledge it.

It does not escape me that the very first person arrested by Marines, who are not supposed to be arresting anybody on US soil, was a Black veteran going to a fucking VA appointment.

White supremacy is a fundamentalist religion in this country. And whole yes, there are some unstable people who take action in reaction to the incitement of violence. All this has done is given permission. It’s not radicalizing anybody; they’re already radicalized.
