When I said what we are experiencing is the outcome of decades of infrastructure building within overlapping segments of the white supremacist nationalist movement ecosystem, this is what I meant (a thread!): 👇🏾
An erosion in trust, transparency, accountability in public systems. Placing obstacle after obstacle to our ability to safely participate in democracy.
A celebrated innovation economy that thrives on scaling dehumanization.
A metronomic terrorism on your personal well-being and safety.
A persistent unrelenting exhaustion.
A metronomic terrorism on your personal well-being and safety.
A persistent unrelenting exhaustion.
I believe Biden will likely win. We will keep the House. Yet this still feels like a loss. And this loss, this existential dread and deep sense of loss? Consider this feeling a drone strike on your peace. An ROI their investment made intentionally and deliberately decades ago.
They are banking on you losing faith. And that will pay off for them when election PTSD, voter apathy, fatigue, etc become huge undercurrents to stories and arguments the next time we need to show up and fight for our democracy.
Do not prove them right. We still have work to do. Keep showing up. Keep fighting. Keep going.
