    Wealth, not income. Massive difference. That 1000% gap is almost entirely due to homeownership and what happened right after WW2 with redlining.

    You are right, economic issues have become culture war issues due to propaganda outlets wanting it to become that such as click bait news sites and social media. However, black Americans have far more legitimate grievances than rural white Trump voters.

    I mean is your premise that their greivences are in the same ball park?

    All of America has experienced the rise of rent, homeownership, education costs with wages not keeping up in the slightest, opioids, climate issues etc. African American households went through all that while also having a median household wealth that is 1000% lower than the median household wealth of a white family.

    Also, cost of living in rural communties at signficantly less than the suburbs and urban centers.

    Trump should award him the Medal of Freedom, posthumously.

    Security for Joe Biden better be beefed up. I am genuinely worried. And I know what Trump wants to see.

    I was kind of wondering about this and Twitter/FB. If they had been slower with the ban-hammers, it might have made the morons much easier to track and follow. They blatantly broadcasted their activities before the 6th, as I understand it.

    The actual statistics and national security disagree with your claim.

    I can't help but think the Christmas bomb and Jan 6 were practice runs.

    They should have a huge police presence on the interstates coming into D.C. . You know these Trumpers are going to be obvious to pull over among the traffic because they will be flying their banners or wearing red hats or mostly just grungy looking white males with beards...dead giveaways. Then, search their vehicles. That is what they need to be doing as a preventative measure. They should also have checkpoints once in the city. If they don't, then they are dumbasses.

    Also, I don't get how so many people on the Internet these days are getting away with all these threats online. That is not freedom of speech. It is freedom to be arrested and sent away. Sure, there is a lot of them. Pick out the worst and most fiery ones to start with.
