Curious how many people caught this reference about people in Georgia who claim "we were here also" and will "take over your farm" under the Democrats.

2/ Confiscations of white farms in southern Africa is a huge topic on the white supremacist right in the US. He's dog whistling that, saying that slave reparations will mean black folks will be given your farm.

3/ remember this?

I have asked Secretary of State @SecPompeo to closely study the South Africa land and farm seizures and expropriations and the large scale killing of farmers. “South African Government is now seizing land from white farmers.” @TuckerCarlson @FoxNews

I personally find it reminiscent of the "40 acres and a mule" which were promised and stolen.

I can't way til they yank your Twitter account and you slink away to plan your exit to Russia, Saudia Arabia, UAE, or wherever there is no extradition agreement with the United States.
