the racists. Or they found us or something. But if you'd like to contribute to the renaming of monkeypox, I think it's fertile ground for humor. So can somebody maybe start a tweet thread? I should have done it myself. On the Locals platform somebody suggested renaming it to crackerpox. I think we can close the competition. I think crackerpox just won. Oh my God, that is funny. You know, and it'…

people, then that demonized the Proud Boys and like-minded people, and then that got all the protesters no matter what reasons they were there or no matter what they did or no matter what their intentions were, and then that got Trump's orbit, and then that got all MAGA, and then that gets all of Republicans, and then that's all of conservatives.

going to punish them just for consistency and political gain and do it right in front of us? Right in front of us? Is that really happening? And so here's the thought process I go through. I think, well I've got to do something about this. But then the very next story I read I think, well I've got to do something about that too. There are too many things to do stuff about. They've basically overw…
