That YOU was a lie.
I knows my trolls. It's not lightly said that I am "The Mad Prophet of the Internet"

sometimes.

In fairness, that quote was blind.

Translation: pulled out of someone's ass.

Gavin didn't say that. Who did?

Gov. Newsom to a black crowd in GA: "I am like you. I'm a 960 SAT guy. I can't read."

Saying "you" without qualifying who "you" are could be amplifying RW trolls.

Please qualify it or get alerted.

Accuracy matters here, even if nowhere else on earth. Saying "you" can be inclusive but most often isn't. Depends on who you EXACTLY are.
