and his winking at white supremacists and efforts to sow division and hatred. Backlash against Trump is likely causing all these racist confederate monuments to come down now when it couldn't get done before. The racists are badly outnumbered and putting Trump in was their last gasp. When you lose NASCAR you're losing badly! The people will speak loudly this fall.

(15,067 posts)The Tea Baggers were the first response to Obama's Presidency - pretending to be about the ACA, but really about having a black man in the White House. Then they recruited lots of lunatics to run for office and we ended up with a whole HOUSE full - and the Senate too.
But they have overstepped their place and here we have this wonderful video from NASCAR.
There are truly more of us than there are of them.
Trump was their last gasp. Let's take him and his enablers down in November!
