racists are like the dementors from Harry Potter. They suck the joy out of life

Yesterday I went to the local small grocery store. I often go there because I can't get around that good and it's small. I was walking down the isle and heard 2 of the employees talking and giggling about the Mexicans that were mowing the grass nearby. They laughed and said " Notice how they hide when the cops drive by?" Then said " I'm glad we're getting rid of that problem." Oh yeah grass cutters trying to feed themselves is just a huge problem to those 2 assholes. I felt sick when I heard them laughing about the fears of the grass cutters. Now I think I can't shop there anymore. I can't stand this racist shit Trump has brought to life

in social media.

It is a lie, economic anxiety had ZIP to do with the last election and will have ZIP to do with the next.

35% of the American electorate, or more, vote based on racism, misogyny and homophobia, period.
