Maybe when it hits 20%, Republicans will see their future is tied to the people & not the billionaires.
We will demand new tax policy when Democrats are the majority & hold the WH.
We will also demand a change to SCOTUS and voting rights.

An older watercolour drawing from when I used to make frequent trips to sketch in London. This shows the Embankment with lots of pigeons, a pavement artist and a couple of Japanese young women on one of the benches. This was sold at an exhibition.

Right. It appears it was Russia's offer.
Trump is so full of shit! He initially demanded that Ukraine accept the peace plan by Thursday. But he has since rowed back from that position, instead saying the proposal was not his final offer.

Racism is so embedded in American culture that anyone can sell anything that even hints at white men losing the privilege they use everyday.
PROSELYTIZING, GREEDY, PSEUDO-CHRISTIAN MAGA CULT CHARLATANS are RAMPANT in USA. They're "Monkey See Monkey Do" imposters who convince themselves, for their Bible Thumping show, that they're self-righteous, holy/godly; but nothing could be further from the truth. They're THE BLIND LEADING THE BLIND!

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

No no no, definitely ask people this. The answer will surely be fun and festive.
Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:
Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.
If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.
Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.
