For men you have a white power gang in almost every federal and state lockup. But because gangs like the Aryan Brotherhood are patriarchal institutions, women are not permitted to be full members. As such, when a female white supremacist ends up in jail, she is far less likely to find a group which shares the same political views.

As a gym rat and bicyclist i was having health issues. No drugs or alcohol. Lots of supplements.

I went oxalate free on a zero carb diet for several years and it fixed my auto immune disorder. I lost 30 pounds of muscle in the process because of a loss in appetite. I slowly readded foods into my diet. Turned out that I couldn't handle salicylates in large amounts. It's in most plants as well. 3% of the population shares my intolerance. We can't eat spices or herbs.

All humans have individual variances in our ability to process plant toxins. There's a reason why some people are more prone to kidney stones than others. It doesn't mean someone is unhealthy.

The only person who did anything helpful got sent to jail (reality winner)

They kept the war on drugs going and started smuggling drugs into black neighborhoods to fund anti democratic despots overseas

You are completely right. There's an entire ecosystem of right wing propaganda channels out there but most people get their news from their friends. It's the key phenomenon behind influencer culture. And that's how most of the damage is done.

If someone has one friend who is considered knowledgeable on current affairs and that one friend watches Fox, chances are that none of his associates will have an accurate understanding of any given topic. And that's by design. The kind of tripe spread on fox news is inflammatory and salacious. The sort of noxious trash you'd share with friends in private conversation.

I realize this is what TikTok and facebook maximize: The friend effect. People learn from their friends. The kind of lies spread by right wing networks is magnified by social media and Russian bot farms.

We have to take the election fraud seriously. The only reason a felon like trump, facing jailtime, would take it easy is if he knew he was guaranteed the presidency in November. Either he got assurances from the Supreme Court or he knows something we dont.

There was a massive voter suppression campaign in 2016. Specifically there were roll purges in many of the swing states. Trump's team has inserted MAGA cultists at all levels in Georgia. They're trying to do the same throughout the rest of the swing states.

The racists are trying to appeal to both black and white voters here. They used to say that things like:

"What do you get when you mix clean water with dirty water?"

"Dirty water"

Now they're saying that people of mixed heritage aren't anything. That they're the Other.

Harris grew up in Oakland in a Black neighborhood. As usual the racists are cruel but here they're spreading an obvious lie designed to erode her standing among black voters

I was trying to make a joke but didn't succeed.😞

I've heard them call people of Indian descent the same slurs that they use for Blacks and Arabs. These are not people who get ambiguity or experience empathy.

I think theyre angry because many of the Weird Cheeto's bigoted voters will want clarity on what kind of racial slur they'll use as they are a discriminating bunch.

I'm glad someone else remembers this bs. The right wingers attacked Obama in the same way because he was raised by a white single mother in Hawaii and later by an Indonesian step father overseas. Because these idiots don't have a word for that, they attacked him as a pretender. But let's be clear, they don't do ambiguity because complexity loses them voters.

Strangely the right wingers got something almost correct for a change. It's true that the concept of "race" is both racist and artificial. It's how you were raised that largely determines your culture. Obama wouldn't fit in in Africa. True. But he was raised as an American. THAT MEANS HE'S AMERICAN.

The same is true for Harris. Its sad that she's going to get attacked for being raised by an Indian-American-Jamacian mother in oaktown (which was predominantly black back then) because of stupidity and the great orange puff's lack of self control

It's easy to call for war when you aren't going to get shot at
