This segment on #velshimsnow
about the wealth concentration in #JacksonHole and around the country is depressing me beyond belief. We need to talk about it though.

Thanks #Velshi for reminding us of the danger of #TwoAmericas

Algernod Lanier Washington, aka Plies, breaks it down perfectly. Plies tells the truth. Jimmy Kimmel gets punished. Charlie Kirk spews racist, misogynist, white-supremacist filth — rewarded. Trump’s AmeriKKKa = Free speech for fascists. Silence for critics. #Hypocrisy #TwoAmericas #TrumpAmerikkka

I’ve been seeing a chart on Masto showing people who are misinformed corresponding with preferring Trump. It’s from the research firm Ipsos.
