"two (2) short slogans that mean the same thing:

E pluribus unum.

Diversity, equity, inclusion."

A slogan worth remembering.

Perhaps it is unnoticed but the maga group behaves far more like a criminal gang trying to dismiss any other forms of expression or argument by vulgar dismissal and displays of willingness to hurt harm and otherwise injure any who oppose . Its leader , Donald , has his own criminal record that actually elevates his status as unquestioned saint to the god of power , and deliverer of nirvana now here on earth for all who profess allegiance to all that is asked , with out need of further thought . It is the supreme word to be in time codified as a bible like the plan now in primitive form as project 2025

.

And they are a serious portion of our population who reject most forms of consideration and profess power and support to all who resist the temptation of equanimity or kindness . It’s all or nothing ! Get ready for some very real dangers for being honest and fair .

And the cult will not quietly exit stage left next week, or early January, nor after inauguration. The poison has entered the body.

I predict it would turn into a religion once the messiah dies.

Hopefully it would too, within a generation.

Kamala Harris said:

> The United States of America is the greatest idea humanity ever devised.

Respectfully, no. This country is forever stained with our history of slavery and our dehumanization and disenfranchisement of people of color. Plus, our forebears drove off and corralled all of the native peoples living here. And then there is our ridiculous structure of national elections and governance, which I was told as a child was pure genius, but which only serves to again disenfranchise people of color and retard progress.

There is much good in the U.S.A., but let's not get carried away with ourselves.

I hear you. I read it as aspirational—the constitutional system as engine for self-improvement. Pitting constituencies against each other to produce best outcomes. Aspirationally!

Thank you! I’ve been avoiding news because it usually just stresses me, but you’ve improved my outlook today. Let’s go Newsfuckers!

It’s fair to speculate that millions of Puerto Rican voters might never have heard what that guy said..."

We mapped where Puerto Ricans have the most political clout and could make their disgust with Trump's racism heard loudest. Check this map for Puerto Ricans by state, county and census tract.
