    I actually really like it how the historically helplessly oppressed places are starting to get woke

    (Meaning, like, the old definition of woke)

    Parts of Georgia and Michigan are turning into these activist hotbeds + I’m here for it

      I saw a clip of a pastor on YouTube who reviews Bibles (weird but whatever) and he got a copy of the Trump Bible. The so-called “real leather” was not just obviously fake, it had a crease in it. The whole thing felt cheap and he pointed out that it didn’t say where it was printed and if it was printed in the U.S., they would have made a big deal about that, which probably meant some Asian country.

      Not a shock that the his Bible is a scam as well, I know.

    Unless the event was to hide from Trunp in a place that he’d never find them, they were right to laugh in your face.

      “For him to have a community conversation, I thought it was an opportunity to be able to really give the least of these, the disenfranchised and marginalized, an opportunity to have a voice at the table because typically we’re on the menu,” Sewell said. “If you come to Grand River, if you walk through our community, you will see, quite frankly, that it’s desolate. … (Trump campaign officials) didn’t want to talk to people that had high prestige and high power positions. They wanted to talk to the least of these.”

      If that’s what this guy really believed, he’s a naïve fool. Trump doesn’t give a shit what poor people have to say and he only gives a shit about black people if they’re rich and they only say nice things about him.

      The Trump campaign officials wanting to talk to “the least of these” is utter hogwash unless by “the least,” they mean morally.
