Er perhaps because it’s not time yet?

You, being a privileged white dude CHOOSE to believe what serves you.

Mr. Haque is one of the more serious thinkers America has had the good fortune to call its own.

When your best friend votes in a Mr. Trump, it’s time to leave.

Dave looked after my house while I was away, watered my plants, fixed dishwashers and pulled weeds with me. For 30 odd years. Then I saw him looking at me funny. Mr. Trump of course. How dare I, a brown woman, have the same privileges as him! He no longer wanted my spicy curries. Or handloomed shirts.

Thank the lord I have a choice. I can leave.

It’s coming, Mr. Gregg.
