Racism was definitely in their “open up now” protests last month.

It was killing people of color in cities primarily so the gun taters and trump humpers didn’t care. And racism fueled a lot of that.

But now they are so invested in following trump they just tend to be stupid and ignore the virus and pretend it won’t kill them
