The gaslighting!

“but things have never been better for (insert historically oppressed minority demographic)”

“It’s cuz libs wanna make everything about racism, just look at CRT!”

“If they’s so diverse then whatabout the war on Christmas”

“But no one in Merica is more victimized than white straight gun-toting Christian men”

One of the many sick things about this country is that there are people who actually LOVE her.

"Have voted for abortion". Right there, she's a fucking moron. Then.... "and even after a child is born".

dragging themselves through the whitewashed streets at dawn looking for a grievance fix.
