A message from the Democratic National Committee, Dear Black Lives Matter, We are the Democratic Party! We are The Political Party of Martin Van Buren. Do you remember who that was? We don’t either.

Letter from A Black Republican II
Dear Evolving Man Project, My name is Cornelius Oliver Octavius Needham. I’m back! It’s been four long and horrible years under the tyranny of the hippie-liberal Democrats and that literal brain dead doofus Joe Biden.
