Maybe the people saying Black people are too stupid to get an ID to vote…
are the racists.

Maybe the people saying married women can’t figure out how to get a birth certificate…
are the sexists.

Maybe the people calling everyone else a threat to democracy…
are the ones trying to rig it.

Maybe the people obsessed with “equity” while ignoring merit…
are the ones holding people back.

Maybe the people who can’t name a single limit on immigration…
are the extremists.

Maybe the people who say they’re fighting for the working class…
while flying private, actually aren’t.

Maybe the people who say they care about the poor…
have run every major American city for 50 years and made them ALL worse.

Maybe the people calling for more gun control…
travel with armed security paid for by taxpayers.

Maybe the people who claim to love science…
but can’t define what a woman is aren’t following it.

Maybe the people demanding unity while calling half the country fascists…
don’t actually want unity.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Maybe it was never about justice, equity, tolerance, or democracy.

Maybe it was always about power.

And maybe the way you know that, is that they never stop accusing YOU of exactly what THEY are doing.
