Good take, Kev. Thanks. My hope is that the large contingent of far right Republicans are in a desperate last gasp mode to preserve (white) life as they know it. Sometimes progress is painful but inevitable. I can only hope that imminent demographic changes will curtail the insanity. Behind the scenes many Republican officials admit that they need to limit voting rights in order to win. Guess whose rights are cut? Then there’s the weirdo culture war: Nikki Haley recently said that trans girls in locker rooms have radically increased suicide rates among birth-sex girls. This is crazy stuff. Made up. Like Q-Anon. The vocal attacks on LGBTQ folks are not just anti-Democratic but life-threateningly dangerous. For many of the desperate, Trump has legitimized old-fashioned bigotry. And it’s not just BIPOC and gays that suffer: Anti-Semitic acts are significantly on the rise too. And then there’s the entire party of elected officials standing against far stricter gun laws that even a majority of their own constituent voters support. Among other things, we need more truth-abiding Republicans to stand up loudly against the widening spread of hatred and self-justifying delusion.
Thanks for reading and commenting, Kev. The culture war nonsense is a distraction, because people reject their policies (where they actually have any) , so they seek votes thru fear and prejudice. Indeed we need more truth-telling Rs, but besides Christie and Kasich -- who are not in office -- hard to find any...those that dared either retired or got primaried out by the MAGA R voters.
I’ll share this with the boys. They are very much in tune. Black Wall Street, no idea and was never taught it in school. Actually learned about it when the boys were in Tulsa for a concert and went to the museum. They called us and said we needed to go. We did a few weeks later. Absolutely horrendous and shameful that the majority of the nation is clueless that it even happened. Thank you for you continuing to share, educate and enlighten! DD
