It really is the 1% versus the rest of us. The stakes couldn't be higher. And the enemy could not be more depraved. Still, we'll win.

Trump’s political career has been driven by racism. The Trump movement is destroying America because of racism. Everyone needs to say it every day! Never be scared to call out white supremacist racism. My analysis👇🏻
