No one cared about the color of his suit...

They just picked stuff and claimed that was the problem, because it wasn't acceptable to say what their real problem was.

Continuing to not understand that, or "play dumb to point out their hypocrisy" is a waste of time and only helps them.

gullible broke uneducated maga voters would cut off their own arm if it meant that black people would suffer

New mission: make them think that cutting off their own arms will make black people suffer.

No, it's because the human mind wants a hierarchy just like the mind of literally every social animal.

That's why almost every civilization has had to deal with racism, religious persecution, or some other form of caste system.

We fight that by erasing the lines, not reducing and insulting the people on the other side of the line the oligarchs drew.

That's literally what they wanted when they drew the line, and why they drew it about something they didn't care about.

Their happy to let us fight, because they don't care who wins.

If we're gonna win, we need to draw our own singular line where we know we have the numbers to win: fighting wealth inequality.

And that has to be done with zero means testing. If something is a human right, we all get it and not even Bill Gates should have to pay for it.

Some media got bought up by right wing figures. Then Trump did the classic authoritarian move to pressure anyone who had criticism by barring from press conferences and mess with access to for example the Pentagon, stack the FCC with a flunky and threaten media. Of course large media act like cowards and salute the new ruler.
