The bitter fight between Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Rep. Byron Donalds over a line about slavery in the state’s revised African American history standards is infuriating several prominent Black conservatives.

What the hell are you talking about? I AM a modern leftist. You need to touch grass.

Crime isn't going "unpunished," unless you're talking about how our prisons are so overcrowded from over-policing that people committing crimes are barely serving any part of their terms, or how some city cops are so upset we don't want them to have fucking drones and tanks that they're refusing to even answer calls in rough neighborhoods (slums). High taxes?! Where the hell are high taxes chasing away jobs and opportunities? Are you talking about the fentanyl crisis in San Francisco, so people are leaving because they're tired of their catalytic converters getting stolen? Or are you talking about the insane housing crisis that people like you seem to want to preserve by not implementing any rezoning or a living wage? Don't forget to bust unions to make absolutely sure their livelihoods are stripped away for any reason at any moment. Families SPLIT APART by feminism?? You mean the women who are going septic because right wing psychopaths are banning abortion? How dare WOMEN look for medical treatment to deal with health issues as if we're actual PEOPLE, right? Confused. Lol.

Jesus Christ I can't with this shit anymore. You live in this totally separate bizarro world that doesn't exist. I'm tired of treating these insane republican fantasies like they're real. It has nothing to do with policy issues anymore. How does anyone even try to talk to you?? How can we ever even begin to fix this?? You people literally think there are secret cabals of lizard people eating babies. Congratulations. Any hope I had for the future is now dead.

I’ve seen the families split apart by feminism. And to that I say good. They weren’t happy. It was abusers who did whatever they could to keep their spouses under their control. Feminism gave the victims the power to leave and start new loving and happy families.
