In reply to the discussion: Do you feel extreme anxiety when you walk in your neighorhood or go for a drive in your car? [View all]Abstractartist
(456 posts)33. For me, no, but unfortunately others yes
Let me explain. I live in South Carolina. Its a very red, red red state. I am not concerned about myself. I am an older, white, retired male in a world of older, white retired males, but I have many young, Hispanic, hard working, family supporting, men and women who are subjected to the possibility of being pounced on by ICE and other NAZI shit down here. When I am at my out of the way coffee shop, I see the worry and the anxiety on their faces when sheriff or other official looking black SUVs and car pull in. There have been several ICE raids in our area, so I understand why the are scared.
Vote please
lets get some power back in the Democrats hands.
