Not sure if serious, but its actually the opposite of that. If you are a racist you care about the ethnic background of a biz. If you are not a racist you don't care about the race of a biz, you just decide on other factors that are important to you, ie location, price, service, etc.

rac·ism

(rā′sĭz′əm)

Don't worry, Webster will literally change the definition of any word if they deem it fit for social justice. Awoman to that.

17th out of 18 in the primaries. Donald Trump received more votes than her in the New Hampshire Democratic Primary back in January...

It's a telephone, but more complicated, unidirectional and non-realtime.

You record audio, and then send a link to it to people, and they can listen to the audio.

This is a chart that plots 4 data points. You can see similar charts in select states across the nation.

As we discussed months ago, Virginia started out Trump until your county was counted, and things turned.... Not unexpectedly, blue. That's how you explained it to me... Huge population in a county that is highly leaned Democrat.

EDIT: Presuming the above graph is even real. I don't recall it that way. I recall that at 10% in, the Dems were leading strongly.

The graph might be true (I'm not sure) but it starts late and at 1,500,000 votes. That's to make to the jump look more significant than it is.

If the Lord God Almighty Himself descended from the heavens, and personally certified the election result, Braineack would accuse Him of being either a Liberal shill or part of "the conspiracy."

I'm eagerly awaiting the far-right to start claiming that the folks storming the Capitol Building right now are actually Antifa, engaged in a false-flag operation to further discredit the President and his hard-core fanboys.
