      This is good to know but we should be clear that racism is a mythology & factchecking is of limited utility in fighting a mythology. Some people can be convinced by facts but hard-core believers will alway prefer mythology.https://twitter.com/NateSilver538/status/1155086222202744835 …

      Not that it really matters but Cummings' district has above-average college education rates and home prices, along with a pretty good mix of urban and suburban areas (even some rural), and well-off, working-class and middle-class areas. https://www.biggestuscities.com/demographics/md/7th-congressional-district … https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1155073965880172544 …

          Factually accurate, but likely to mislead. Myths don't exist, yet racist behavior is clearly real. So the ideology might be baseless, but the subsequent actions are all too real.
