@jemelehill US progressed from slavery to full enfranchisement of its slaves' progeny to the point these progeny can hold the most powerful position in history. Nazi Germany started with dispossession & ended with extermination. Is there no end to ludicrous Woke ideological distortions?

@carroll_fife Asians are being persecuted by racist blacks who scapegoat past white injustice to hide their crimes & failures. Too many US blacks embrace a culture that promotes failure & try to destroy institutions that have raised others up, instead of using them to improve themselves.

@clairlemon Any comparison between vaccine mandates & Nazism is inane & obscene. I'm frankly disgusted by how many superficially sane people have concluded rational public health is the road to tyranny. Takes clinical derangement to enable mass death under the delusion of preventing it.

@wil_da_beast630 I'm staunchly Pro-Choice, but this mob is both ugly & potentially self-defeating. If Kavanaugh can be swayed by such antics, he's likely to go further right. Better for legacy & self-respect to spit in the mob's face than bend over for it.
