My opinion of the supporters I know that don’t want a wall just use the excuse “ we wanted change/ not typical politician” well they got what they got plus some. Brought a face to corporate greed and xenophobia.  Guess that’s what happens in an representative republic where you’re faced with bad choices.

As much as I'd love to agree with you because I'm desperately begging America to focus on income inequality and class struggle rather than race... unfortunately, racial anxiety / racism played a significant role in Trump voters' decisions in 2016, much more than conservatives would like to admit.

This shouldn't be surprising though. White supremacy's roots in America are still strong. How could they not be?

All lives matter

Of course all lives matter. But black lives are the ones in danger now.

"Your house"?


How about - "people who sort of look like me or.my friends, so I identify with based on their looks"?

Because that is EXACTLY what you're doing.....

Since they are obviously Trump supporters, the ignorance displayed isn't all that surprising.

We had dumb ass kids eating Tide Pods not that long ago.  Now we have adults taking the Trump challenge to be as asinine as possible.

I would absolutely love it if BLM protesters completely ignored them and pretended they weren't there. They're trolling everyone. Starving a troll is the best way to get to them.

When you are drowning, I will take a Methodical survey of who else needs help so I can show I care, and still let you drown.

The "all lives matter" bullshit should be ignored like Mermaid said.
