Not only is he right, but we also need to have a conversation about reading comprehension, how analogies work & what “comparing” means.

Don't worry, guys
The streets of Minneapolis are about to be flooded with "pro-life" protesters waving "Don't Tread On Me" flags chanting "All Lives Matter."
I'm sure they're on the way, right?
Right?
Trump's DOJ's arrest of protesters is a direct attack on the legacy and work of civil rights protesters who fought for those rights.
We asked one of them what she thinks.
Under the new conservative consensus on presidential power, Trump is welcome to refuse to investigate when government agents shoot Americans in the face, and he is welcome to try to charge their loved ones with crimes. He can openly blackmail government officials to manipulate the economy or to silence political opposition. No one can stop him from directing the Justice Department to indict his enemies for non-crimes while ignoring or pardoning the actual crimes of his political allies. He is free to be a tyrant, because the boss is the boss. But to me, it seems unlikely that the founding generation, in rebelling against a monarch, was looking to replace him with an even more wretched class of despot.

I know why people wear the butters NOW. But they’re not work boots & there’s no way anyone ever hiked in those heavy mfs. What kinds of shenanigans were white ppl engaged in that required a pair of 10-lb suede donkey kickers the color of a #2 pencil?
Something’s going on
This is an old right-wing lie. In 1912, they found a pile of infant bones at a pagan brothel. To Jesus freaks, it proved non-Christians whores murdered baby boys
Then science got involved
BTW when you consider Nazis, Crusades, slavery & colonialism…
Christianity is the #1 baby killer of all time

I will not elaborate.
Whenever you're accused of being "Un-American," remember:
Jefferson Davis said abolitionists "lacked patriotism & moral principle"
The KKK said "America First" meant "love of country"
J. Edgar Hoover said MLK was "motivated by hate for America"
Fantastic article with data

We BlackChecked Trump's claim.
"You can embrace the warm and fuzzy negro fairytale of the Baptist preacher who changed America w peace, love and a few sermon-like speeches, or you can see the truth: Martin Luther King Jr. was a woke, critical race theorist who fought against wealth inequality while demanding reparations and DEI."

It was literally about staying "woke."
A separate video shows Nick Fuentes, Tristan Tate, Sneako, and Clavicular rolling up to the club in a party van singing along to "Heil Hitler" and doing sieg heils.
