It’s not funny

Since when has racism been funny — never! The racist statements, not jokes, from Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden set a standard so low that no politician could recover from it you would think, but the Trump campaign is trying to.

Trump’s running mate, Sen. JD Vance has said “stop getting so offended.” but racism is offensive. Would he say the same about violence at schools? “I’m just — I’m so over it,” Vance stated but hopefully so are the undecided middle ground who don’t support racism and realise that a positive path is the best option. Look for the best and most positive leader for your country not themselves.
