Of all the schisms that cleave contemporary America, few are more stark than the divide between those who consider themselves to be victims of US history and those who fear they will be casualties of its future.
Why are white people so worried about being a minority in the US? Are minorities treated poorly or something?
LOL 😂 the irony in that statement is thick enough to stick a spoon vertically in it and have it remain standing.
Regressives fear becoming the subject of the hatreds they spew out against others who are not white, cis, male, and Christian. Which is why conservatism is an evil ideology best left in the dustbin of history.
I’d say get rid of the electoral college. Popular vote to elect the president.
This whole thing seems so easy to solve:
Take away the electoral votes of the south until they finally sort their shit out.
We never should have given it back to them after reconstruction, the VRA was dismantled because a conservative supreme court said ‘it’s been in place so long it must have fixed things, and you can’t prove it hasn’t!’ followed by waves of voter suppression throughout the south.
Let’s go back to reconstruction and try it again, we shouldn’t have stopped, that corrupt bargain in 1877 was a mistake, we just let the plantation class slime right back into power.
i fear we will all be casualties of its future
Superbly written article. The author distills the conflict very accurately.
Well, it’s very accurate from one perspective anyway. The author is obviously a Democrat/progressive.
Based on op comment, I thought it was going to be an objective assessment of different views and perspectives, but it obviously isn’t. Maybe that was my bad assumption.
No need to be pedantic. My point is that the author clearly likes Harris and doesn’t like Trump. The author does a good job illustrating the perspective of people who like Harris and don’t like Trump. But someone who likes Trump and doesn’t like Harris would say that the author doesn’t know what he is talking about.
