We Still Don’t Know, But... covid-19: day 229 | US: GA | info | act
We do know that the majority of white voters in this country are troubled. Apparently, support for ’Rump went up everywhere except white men. Imagine that. Even white women: voting for a proven sexual predator and supporting the patriarchy’s attempts to take away their rights—this goes for his non-white supporters, too. It boggles my mind.
About half of the white people you see in this country supported ’Rump. That makes me, a middle-aged white guy, nervous. Imagine what it does to someone who’s not. Where is the disconnect?
This is so disheartening. Maybe I haven’t done enough? I’m pretty sure my whole family supports him. They all think I’m crazy: overly educated and obviously cracked. I used to think what I did in the classroom was enough. It most obviously is not. Subtlety is gone; nuance over. Higher education is turning into job training: who needs humanities, arts, history?
Folks, this is what you get: a nation where half the citizens are narrow-minded bigots with no conception of reality. After everything this guys has done to this country, they still support him. It’s a crusade driven by a righteous faith where these zealots won’t be happy until all of us infidels are killed or driven hence.
It that what we have here: an American jihad birthed from white supremacy, cammo trucks, nationalist bile, and heavy artillery? What the actual fuck?
Still, Biden looks like he might pull this off, yet even if he does, we likely won’t get a Senate majority and a decreased representation in the House. So what will actually change?
