7. It's the context of a fight with extended members of my family

when it comes to FB.

Stripped of the context that I'm pissed about how a debate went, or that I'm being a sore loser, it becomes a hammer.

As soon as the media narrative isn't "Democrats in disarray!!!" which I expect to change very shortly, I get to open up with twin barrels of some stuff that's going to make some people feel awful uncomfortable.

What's really distressing is that I think the most educated people who have allowed themselves to embrace these right wing narratives don't even realize the underlying racism that is an inescapable part of the BS they have now been conditioned to push.

I'm very excited to light them up and to turn a mirror on some shit they really need to think on for a bit.

Because all of them will be horrified to discover they've gone racist.
