I wonder if white liberals finally understand just how much of a threat white supremacy has always been to this country. Assuming Trump is defeated and the Senate flips in November, assuming the transition actually happens -- are they prepared to solve that problem this time?
White supremacy is the framework for US classism, our misogyny, our tax structure, our education and health care, everything. It's why we lag so far behind similar countries: To hold somebody else down, you gotta stay down with 'em. Our enemies know this is a huge weakness.
And I say "this time" because we've been here before. After the Civil War, Union leaders appeased rather than punished the traitors. After the Civil Rights Movement, white liberals appeased again, cooperating to erode every CR gain and even aiding Black & Brown oppression.
We've basically been a nation in the hands of a foreign power all this time -- only now that power is colluding with Russia, lol. Because white liberals weren't willing to do what was necessary to purge them, then or since. Has that changed at last? I'm not feeling confident.
I think they'll tell themselves the war is over when Trump falls -- even though Americans will still be dying by the thousand from COVID. I think they'll go right back to laughing at bigoted podcasts and whining that we should listen to both sides re who gets to be people.
::sigh:: I said I was gonna stay off Twitter this weekend.
Welp. I guess we'll see what happens. And hope future generations don't end up right back here in a hundred years -- presuming we make it that far.
Off to write.
