      To a degree. There would’ve been ways to force it while he still had at least one majority; but what it boils down to for me is ‘don’t say you’re going to do some shit if you’re never going to actually do it.’ This is why even if he wasn’t enslaving my people by the pigload, even if he wasn’t letting PDs extrajudically murder us at our workplaces, in these streets, and even in our homes, I’d still never support him.

      He’s the same kind of liar Drone King Barry was; except even Barry didn’t have a pre-presidential history of locking up Black folk, eulogizing klansmen, and erecting Cop Cities during his administration to upkeep and intensify the inherent fascism of this country.
