For me, it was Ferguson, then Baltimore. I have a son. I saw cities being burned, cops beating and killing. I saw a man who looked like me say "they're not protesting, they're not making a statement, they're thugs and criminals." I realized how much I gave up for "representation" https://twitter.com/KWestSavali/status/1293717958053724160
I did everything I could to get Obama elected and re-elected. I'll never get that time or money back. I got radicalized under Obama. I got radicalized while raising a Black son. Watching how in liberal cities he still wasn't safe.
I realized Obama and his administration had blood on their hands. I saw wars expand and Libya be destroyed and our "leader" go on TV and laugh about it. Then I saw how protestors were treated during NODAPL. Fascism has been here folks.
