Oh no! If a dark-skinned guy could pale...

I did NOT come over 9000 miles to another continent to counter the lies and propaganda spread by and about tRump.

Twice already I’ve talked with men who think tRump is great: the first loves him because he “loves the way he talks: he’s ‘manly’ and tough, and thanks gawd…”

Really? Fuckin really?

Of course I have to say, as sarcastically as I'm able: “You mean the way he talks about you and your people and your country? Or the way he talks about womyn and his desire to become the dictator, probably of the world?”

I’m sure if a dark-skinned guy could pale, this one guy would have been lighter than the fog currently drifting in over the ocean.

Another man, this one obviously from wealth, tries to tell me what a great businessman tRump is and how he saved the u.s. economy when he was president.

Really? Fuckin really?

“Do you know exactly how he got and keeps his wealth? How many times he’s declared bankruptcy, and how he almost bankrupted my nation after taking control of a healthy, growing economy and leaving it – and most people who weren’t millionaires – struggling? Do you know that he was the first president since the 1929 depression that left office with fewer jobs in the country than when he took office, and the most fewer jobs for people with skin your color?”

I continue my conversations making these men focus on Kamala and who she is, what she’s done, and where she will lead the country to. They don’t know how brilliant she is, what she’s accomplished since getting her law degree, how capable she is of working to ensure freedom and democracy.

I didn’t know that tRump and Musk’s influence has extended here. But I also meet people who understand the reach of billionaires and the brilliance of Kamala and the hope she brings to even folks here.
