“Live your truth. Be like one of these stunning and brave heroes of oppression: HEROES. OF. OPPRESSION. Your heart will bleed for each of these brave lads and lasses—not to mention lxsses—who suffer at the hands of the patriarchy.”

“The exact same rule applies to US President Joe Biden, who is forever exempt from such allegations. It doesn't matter that black people aren't the property of the left, nor does it matter that they can vote for whoever they choose in a free country, he was absolutely justified when he said, 'If you are African American and you vote for Donald Trump you ain't black.' Stunning and brave.”
