Some of you will get very angry at what I will say, but I think the Truth needs to be stated...
They are running the same play the Democrats ran 60 years ago. They see the cracks in the Democratic hold on our people and think now it is their turn to use our people as mules for the issues they want to be pushed through. We do not have allies, we have users. Once we recognize the game, we can bend its rules to work in our favor.
Being a mule for the Republicans is no better for us than being a mule for Democrats. We need to focus on our issues as a primary concern for our people and use any means necessary to rectify them. To do that, we have to build ourselves up so that we are on equal footing with whomever we make deals with, instead of constantly being a lesser partner. So every deal we make is created with the primary concern of what our people get out of it. No intersectionality BS, no pseudo-patriotism, just pure enlightened self-interest for our people.
