132. Look at Black Women

Sun Jan 19, 2025, 10:26 AM

Jan 2025

We didn't in 2016, 2020, or 2024.

This circle of hell was delivered to them by white women who overwhelmingly vote White Supremacist Adjacent.

It. Is. Not. My. Fault.

Black women 18 to 118 vote for Democracy, Truth, Good, Science and Sanity.

I've voted in every election I could since I was 18.

Its not my fault my Gen X peers' had poor home training.

These 'precious innocent ones "? They are on their own. Join one of the 4 black churches in NJ I've offered help to, the Synagogue in my town, or my UU Church.

Everyone else not in my family? You are on your own.

And sadly - families will be torn apart this week - and these nitwits will be focused on the rims spinning on Tik Tok (Chris Rock reference).

Whatever happens to them? Self-inflicted wound. Boo hoo.

What do you expect President Biden to do in the next 48 hours? sarisataka Jan 2025 #1

He can do what Trump is going to do when he takes office. No need to wait. LonePirate Jan 2025 #109

Since the ban isn't in effect yet sarisataka Jan 2025 #111
