How ANY person of color could tolerate the GOP's push to deny the denigration of blacks and others is beyond reason.

Definitely something usable for developing new attack strategies and mental imaging. Another way to characterize the opposition in a negative context. They’d like us all snoozing at our posts instead of being wide awake and fully on guard.

Let’s develop this. The basic idea is most intriguing. Only one slight complication. It might need a little explanation, and as the old saying goes: “if you’re explaining, you’re losing.”

But the basic idea: they’re trying to put one over on you. They’re at it again. There you go again, Republicans. They want us asleep at the switch. Makes invasion, conquest, and domination that much easier. Kinda like a “Trojan Horse”-type thing.
