The optics are grim for far-left Maryland Governor Wes Moore. As the state grapples with a fiscal crisis (deficit explosion), a credit downgrade, illegal alien invasion, violent crime, the looming threat of resident and business flight, a potential tsunami of new taxes, and a worsening power crisis, Moore is facing a growing backlash from all Marylanders.

Which is anti-white racism, straight up.
and closing the foundational disparities that lead to inequality — from food insecurity to education.”
Which means the traditional Democrat playbook of putting as many people as possible on the dole, where they have to vote Democrat in order to keep the gravy flowing.
