    Your comment is a racist denial of all the progress that’s been made since the '60s and is being undone by Trump.

    And the other comment was entirely correct that pretending you weren’t talking about Trump just because you didn’t mention him by name is disingenuous bullshit.

      Fucking finally, someone’s putting into words my problem with Communist commentary on the current situation in America.

      “This is normal for America”… A lot of this was normal for my grandma, but it wasn’t for me or my mom before Trump. I accept the word of a 61 year old black woman over internet Communists with incentives to slant their speech. It’s called backsliding for a reason.

      Not saying there wasn’t horrific shit happening in the US in 1964 - 2015, but to imply that none of this represents a regression from what was previously normal to most living Americans is incorrect and normalizing. You wouldn’t see the phrase “get out while you still can” online regarding the situation if it were business as usual.
