Brilliant! The company that sells that overpriced chess set with politicians as the pieces should sell an Antifa/BLM chess set. Only the pawns would be white.

And what’s with putting all those pawns on the frontline, man! It’s like they’re expendable or something. It’s pure exploitation, man.

They should also make the King another Queen.
