I think she is right. The leadership of the Democrat party should be Blacks, Mexicans and Muslims.

Of course it is.

But they’ll never admit it.

Happy Thanksgiving, Mark.

Please...PLEASE Democrats, keep going the way Sanders says....you are jamming yourselves into smaller and smaller enclaves along the West Coast and in the NE. You are a failing, fringe party split up into islands around the U.S.

We’re supposed to pay attention to alleged racism in the GOP, this “alt.right” stuff, but ignore the overt racism of the Democrats (according to the media overlords).

Just the Marxist and racist ones. For Blacks and Hispanics that want a brighter future for themselves and their families and offspring, it’s time for them to exit the Slave Party en masse.

If you thought America was racially polarized in 2016, just wait until 2020. Things are going to get very ugly.

Identity politics combined with political correctness has become a weapon against freedom.

The leadership of the Democrat party should be Blacks, Mexicans and Muslims acting as the Trojan Horse for Marxism.

I may be naive, but I’m still hoping that a significant number of Blacks and Latinos will realize after a while that Trump is not the second coming of Hitler or about to commit mass gendercide against them and that they have been sold an hysterical pack of lies by the Left.

What difference does it make? It all just skin color, right? Trump or not this will get much worse over the coming years.

All receiving copious amounts of funding from foreign enemies to boot, and among them enemies pretending to be friends (the worst kind).
