It felt like it was uncool to have even a touch of racism when Obama got elected and through his presidency. But since the MAGA movement, I feel like subtle and out-right racism has increased. Like a gateway was opened.

Am I trippin?

    Cough cough is an indicator that a person says one thing but wants to do/does another thing.

    “Mom I’m going to the mall cough Stacy’s cough”

    The tea party did not actually care about fiscal responsibility. It was anti Obama.

      I agree that’s what it quickly turned into, but I’m not sure I agree that they didn’t have legitimate grievances and good intentions at the start. I even remember wishing that they would merge with OWS for a little while there.

      I dunno, maybe I got hoodwinked – but I don’t think so.
