Especially when Kamala Harris is drawing crowds that have so much less menace to society, and exponentially larger numbers.
Dude feels exposed on levels. He feels unsafe. He's seen as a pants-shitting corrupt charlatan. His life is one of a less likeable Wile E. Coyote. His health is failing.

A gay Black friend has plenty of existential threats in their world. No, they aren't centered solely on gayness.
Don't we all get this yet? Or are equivalency games still in fashion after all these decades of witnessing shared struggles?
