16. I missed something. Where are the Democrats wanting to do away with capitalism and prisons?

Does he really think there are more "Jew haters" in the Democratic Party than in the Republican Party?

I reckon he is OK with Republicans spreading hateful lies about immigrants eating dogs and cats, he is OK with reviving Jim Crow policies, he is OK with punishing women by denying them basic healthcare and taking away their voting rights.

He is afraid of something that is not happening while blissfully accepting the things that are actually happening.
