are coming up with every excuse in the book to say, nah, not us. "We need solidarity now, not more fracturing."

White men, obviously followed closely by white women (which I am), have given the benefit of the doubt to all the white supremacist fucking Nazis for decades. I've been screaming about it for decades.

The full on white supremacist Nazi bullshit Trump just spouted on TV should leave NO doubt that they plan to oppress and enslave, at best, anyone they don't deem a white supremacist loyalist without any perceived "defect."

My Black and Brown friends and family are terrified.

I hate Nazis and this fucking timeline so much and I'm so fucking sorry so many souls are terrified right now.
