This person replied to one of my things.

I looked up the words "blacks" and "autism" because when a MAGA person talks about biology that is a huge red flag that they are a racist and eugenecist.

You don't want to see what they have to say about blacks.

Good morning! Thought of the day: to everybody who thinks voting does not matter because you can only vote once and one vote almost never swung an election on its own, remember that the only other option is 0 votes, which is exactly zero and not statistically approximately zero.

We should stop using the term high functioning autism for all who need less help and instead reserve it only for those who show special talents. This would separate normal functioning from high functioning which removes the ableism of implying autism is "lower functioning" by default if used at all.

Also voting shows that you are invested in the future..

Even if Republicans get to draw out the congressional districts, there are other elections that matter even if the House isn't realistically within reach for Democrats in the near future.

He probably always was but he just became more vocal after realizing getting favor with Trump would outweigh his reputational loss if he won in 2024.

Breaking: Capitol Police have been called after a Republican congressional office was just caught displaying a swastika.

This comes one day after group chat messages were leaked of young GOP officials saying “I love Hitler” and calling to put Democrats in “gas chambers.”

I am colorblind when it comes to neurodivergence as well. I have no extra sympathy for autistic conservatives even though I am autistic myself.

If SCOTUS guts Section 2 of the VRA, the House will be a durable Republican majority.

Senate and Presidency would still be up for grabs but 2030 apportionment and potential shifts in the Rust Belt would make both a reach as well.
