69. This is what I have been saying and saying. Racism is alive and thriving.

Racism is Trump's and the Republicans' winning issue. The Republican Party has been running a with fascism agenda since Nixon scape goating the Blacks and with this election increased concentration on the Hispanics. It is a sure fire winning strategy especially when those who are targeted fail to even show up to vote. The rioting and looting sure as hell didn't help and of course was exaggerated by the Republicans to emphasized and was fodder for their racist propaganda. Black leaders tried to warn people that every brick throw through a window is another vote for the Republicans. The poles are another issue. Terribly misleading and just as bad as during the last campaign. I am praying the Biden ekes out a victory, but it is far to close for comfort.
