I went on there the other day to source a segment I was working on and the first reply on a news post was pushing explicit white nationalism complete with slurs. It's truly a hive of Nazi-friendly blaggards and freaks. I am sorry you had to deal with that sort of engagement. :/

Next Saturday will be the largest early vote activation in American history. No Kings Day is how we build historic turnout for the midterms and get our communities ready to organize against Trump’s election sabotage.

This goes against the intuitions of a lot of older people who were socialized into the party alignment of the 1970s-1980s-1990s. But you could make a case that the Trump second term is the most directlyand outwardly anti-Christian presidency in American history.
