mostly I assume because they both like guns and think war solves everything.

But what they both forgot is that when our family is setting together for a gathering there are only three of us who are not brown skinned people. Most of them are calling themselves Native Americans but a good share of them also have black ancestry. If by some horrible fate we find our nation heading any further into fascism they are all going to wake up and realize that they supported this move.

It really scares me that no one seems to see this coming.
