    Like… I would totally go to Trump loving folks and be like, “you got me. I’m on team Trump now. Before he was a felon, I couldn’t stand him, but now he has experienced the abuses of the criminal justice system that is a daily fact of life for so many, particularly black people, and I think we should have a president who understands their plight.”

    Now, that would be deadpan sarcasm, but I’d say that. Which is what I really thought the article was saying. I read it multiple times trying to understand what was going on.

      Haha yeah I live in a city that’s majority black and some of my friends at the local dive bar are actually saying stuff like that. I just keep my mouth shut because I know they’re in the minority with that opinion but it still blows my mind
