But can you imagine what would happened with a black woman president

NONE of this should surprise anyone.People knew full well what he was, but they chose a racist Russian puppet idiot over an extremely qualified black women. Their racism means more to them than anything; their health, the health of their parents, the health of their children. The health of our democracy. Their racism is what gives their life meaning.
I have mentioned this before, and yes, it is disheartening, but I have gotten through to a couple of these people by pointing out to them that they can continue to hate whoever they want to hate, but for the love of God, wake up to the fact that it’s not the people that you hate who are screwing you ! You can hold onto your hate , but for God ‘s sake stop voting for the people who ARE screwing you, your parents, your children, and our country.

I'm thinking with some years passing between '16 and '24 that's- 8 years; a few more people might have evolved re: a woman President; but maaaybe not yet for a Black woman President.🙄

We all effin' punished bc of some people's misogyny, racism, and "she's not perfectism"!!!!
😬😬😬😬😬 G-d damn it!
