well, again, my head is turned. this is quite an argument. i see what you're saying, that's the heartache of it, noting how many working/middle class white voters were willing to leave the democrats for trump's promise of a nation for white people, purporting to support workers in the face of corporate overlords is a perfect way to sucker them in. to weld white nationalism with workers vs bosses, two "they" enemies are so much better than one.

Mitch McConnel cares about himself first... He became power-hungry under the last administration and never wants that power to end... He laughs at those who really need the government to step up to help those less fortunate... He knows most folks are powerless to stop him... Money is his game and he knows who to go to to get it... So many politicians whether Democrats or Republicans feel the same way... They neglect minorities because I believe they know racism will help maintain their status quo ... Americans of all nationalities should wise up and see they are being manipulated by the government and its politicians because we are allowing lies, misinformation, and bigotry to happen ... They speak of voter fraud because minorities voted and they can't have that... They want to continue to ignore them and hold them down... Loved this piece because again you are asking us as the reader to think for ourselves and come up with our own conclusions, by educating us on the realities of who politicians really are, no matter what the party affiliation is... Never too old to learn... Yes, this shit does matter, so where do we go from here? SOLIDARITY FOREVER!!
