if the onion had published a story about the feds identifying the alleged leader of Antifa, this is the picture of a guy they would use
🚨 Documents leaked to me reveal a federal watchlist of American protesters suspected of being Antifa - including its supposed leader.

Seeing all the “professional” activists go after Stancil is negatively polarizing me into a stance that Minnesota is winning because it’s normal people rising to the occasion and pushing a lot of activist nonsense out of the way by doing it

sorry maybe this is an unnecessary level of stating the obvious, but sometimes when someone says they don’t think puerto ricans are “american,” it isn’t an opportunity to do a little civics gotcha & tell them about the insular cases. they just mean they think real americans are white.

yeah, standing room only, that’s definitely a thing that movie theaters do
Kayleigh: My mom went to see Melania. She said the theater was packed, it was standing room only. People were cheering through it, they were excited. It was interactive—people interplaying with the film. She said it was just electric.

As a country music enthusiast I can confirm that this is absolute bottom of the barrel shit. None of these people have had a hit in five years, and you have to go back to 2011-12 for when Brice and Gilbert were really relevant. This is the lineup you get when you get hundreds of no thank yous first.

Not sure what theories are inadequate here. That members of a marginalized group might/can work for the system that marginalizes their people is one of the oldest topics. There’s an infinite amount of literature on it.
