There's safety in numbers. In my experience people in general are pretty smart; there're lots of wolves in sheep's clothing. Those wolves were the ones buying N95 Masks in January; Buying Flonase (OTC Glucocorticoid) 'ju

That's great advice - but it amounts to 'be careful and qualify your opinion to show you're _not_ racist'. That's exactly what people are complaining about. The migrant detention issue has absolutely nothing to do w
