and you feel dead black people should have followed police orders, but you refuse to follow your local government's social distance and mask orders, then you are an enormous dickhead.

If a mask means people are weak but you need a gun for protection when you go shopping, then you're the virus.

We are already seeing what happens when States open up too early. Why do they think this is going to go good for them?

they are absolutely supportive of kids in cages because they are truly racist (maybe not all but many)!

I have a childhood friend who I've kept in touch with over the years. I've lived in CA and she's still in TX where I was born and raised so we don't hang out (and I'm sure we wouldn't hang out anyway because we are so ideologically opposed).

She's openly racist (mainly against Mexican Americans). I mean she completely feels superior.

I saw an ad from The Lincoln Project against Thom Tillis of North Carolina. One of the images is of the immigrants. Theses ads need to address whatever the specific issues are for the specific regions.

FOX probably didn't tell the ditto-headed imbeciles.

If they were actual racists, they would have cheered anyway.

Okay--they are dickheads.

of their immigration status. But I doubt if the average citizen is even aware of it. But they are definitely aware that their local bar or restaurant is closed.

The people who think kids wearing bullet-proof backpacks to schools w/ metal detectors & armed guards & are subjected to active-shooter drills is just "the price of freedom" & the people who call having to wear a mask for 10 min. inside Walmart "tyranny" are the exact same people.

What about the right of children to be free from fear of terror just going to school? Accepting the constant threat of allowing anyone to own military-grade guns is "FREEDOM." Fuck your kids who are traumatized, fuck the victims and their families, fuck the stress on kids, teachers, and staff knowing there could be mass death at any moment.

Yet requiring masks is too much somehow? All sorts of restaurants and stores have been upfront about requiring shoes and shirts for decades, and no one shrieks about that.
