There are no "my peeps" or "your peeps". That's what simplistic 
propagandistic disinformation will have readers believe to amplify 
engagement. Racist content has enormous engagement capacity. And it's 
always easier to believe the loud, blaring oversimplifications than sit 
down and engage with what we don't know and therefore learn the hard and 
slow way, adapting to a changing world, working on ourselves... instead of 
cherry picking content/data to validate pre-existing prejudice to 
self-flatter ourselves.

4 more years of Don, so what? Like people should be frightened lol? I'm ok 
looking in the mirror, warts and all. All people can adapt and change. 
Maybe at some point you'll mature to the point where ideological content, 
identity propaganda and existential prejudice, scapegoating other groups, 
the comforting clarity of conspiracy theories, boredom with personal 
delusions etc. will no longer convince you and turn you towards actual 
policy and their implementation. No "my peeps" and "your peeps". There are 
just people, who's needs are quite similar. PGC
