Thank you. This has to stop about making anyone who is white and successful the bad guy. I'm sorry, but it's almost like reverse racism.We don't get to choose our race or gender or circumstances when we are born. It's what we do with our lives that matter. I know many wealthy white people who came from nothing, worked hard, earned every penny, PAY THEIR TAXES, and are charitable. They have nothing to apologize for. Stop conflating honest hardworking successful people with this obscene level of multi-billionaire wealth like the tech bros Musk, Thiel, Bezos, Zuckerberg, lots of scary ones, et al. What about the Chinese and South Asian, and Arab billionaires that are citizens and are just as awful as Musk and the rest? How many billions do they need. It's not about money at that point. It's about POWER. We are divided enough. Stop looking at every single person as sinister. This is what they want. To divide us. You can thank Ronald Reagan for his "trickle down economics". You can thank the John Roberts SCOTUS for allowing Citizens United to bring all of this dark money into our politics and gov't. RW Cnristofascist billionaires like the Koch Bros, Leonard Leo who have been working on this for 50 years who want to make us a Christian country. That is one of our final rights as Americans. Separation of Church and State. If you are Muslim, Jewish, Hindu, whatever, you better start worrying about that too. They started with Roe but that's not where it ends. If these fucking zillionaires and corporations paid their fair share of taxes there wouldn't be a problem. Dan Goldman has inherited wealth. He did not have to go into public service and become a prosecutor or a Congressman for money. He could have stayed a private citizen.He is a good man. Don't denigrate him and make him the enemy. I love Jasmine Crockett and AOC.I loved Kamala and her message and positivity. BLAME THE IGNORANT VOTERS for Trump! The fools dazzled by Nazi Elon Musk. Many who were neither.rich nor white. I am for anyone who chooses to try and do good. Everyone in this country deserves to have a fair shot. To have healthcare. To love who they want. Pray to whom they want. Food in their stomachs. A roof over their head. A good paying job. That is all we are owed. There is never going to be 100% equality. At this point, we have no democracy. Choose your battles carefully. We are in an existential.crisis for our country and the world.
