I still have my wisdom teef...though you wouldn’t know it lol...

One wonders whether she will canonize her collected tweets into something like “My Struggle,” replete with less abstract territorial theories how to reify her “plan” or add pseudo-scientific details explaining why and how whites, as she alleges, smell or have had no cultural or scientific achievements.

In German, Mein Kampf, of course. I have come to realize the value of slogging through that nearly unreadable volume in order to recognize its echoes in the prose of the Left. It's getting scary.

This recent blast of undisguised racial hatred is dismaying, to say the least. Underneath the blatant attempt to polarize is a current of genuine belief. Give these people enough power and say hello to the cattle cars.

Still, this chorus of disdain for what is essentially the working and middle classes has served to divorce those classes from the warblers, who are invariably Democrat party adherents. These are the same people who have lately been self-righteously claiming the undying allegiance of the people they've been trashing and agonizing over how stupid they are not to realize that the Dems cursing them really have their best interests at heart. Somebody's missing a few connections here, but it isn't the Deplorables.

Agreed! Behind every social justice, bleeding heart, climate saving, animal welfare, women’s rights liberal is a totalitarian waiting to implement the “final solution” to their ideological detractors.

Yes, I've observed it in some high school classmates of mine, who were apolitical and apparently rational when I lost touch with them during our college years. Now, seeing some of the garbage they spread on social media, I'm observing the end result of many years of agenda-driven "programming". They may as well be "pod people" copies of the guys I once knew.

Being the “wrong” kind of White person, is the greatest thing to be in this world.
