Herein the roots of white nationalism's rise & the racist radicalism of the GOP, stoking fear from bigotry as those about to lose four centuries of power refuse to share it, ruining institutions instead. Surprised I'm not seeing more of that in coverage. washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2021/…
Yes, censuses tend to confirm what we already know. But the essence of this year's is so foundational to current racist politics I'd think that journalists so eager to explain would take this opportunity to do so. But we don't talk about racism. We must.
This results of this census are the cause and Trumpism is the effect.
For God's sake, coverage of the census should connect *directly* with (1) voting rights in Congress, (2) gerrymandering about to commence in red states, (3) 1/6.
