Ok @FromWheat, the consensus so far is your neighbor’s a racist and potentially violent POS. Godspeed, dear. 🙏🏾
Thing is even if it’s not the job that pays their bills they live in a society that grants them the power to be deputized into the vigilante overseer task force and/or Karen brigade. Zimmerman, Rittenhouse, Ryan/the McMichaels considered themselves to be correcting a problem.
Republicans find a new young White supremacist sociopath to glorify and emulate every year. This is how they recruit more Republicans and more White supremacist sociopaths, who so often graduate to become White domestic terrorists. The MSM colludes with them to normalize it all.
Kyle Rittenhouse is an American problem. Derek Chauvin is an American problem. The McMichaels are an American problem. The J6 insurrectionists are an American problem. The GOP/MSM alliance that aids, abets and incites ALL of these American problems is an AMERICAN PROBLEM.
This likely wouldn’t work either b/c these people want their kids to grow up to be thoughtless, unempathetic, incompassionate racists just like mommy/daddy. Also some of the anti-CRT rhetoric even demonizes SEL (social emotional learning). They fully intend to raise sociopaths.
Anti-CRT propaganda (read Southern Strategy) finds a receptive audience amongst non-college educated White women b/c they stand to lose the MOST socioeconomic standing if the system of White patriarchy/oligarchy keeping them & their male benefactors afloat gets dismantled by CRT.
They deny that slavery was genocide and that the Confederacy lost the Civil War too. They deny that the Civil War was about slavery. They deny that Trump lost the election and that Jan 6 was a White supremacist insurrection/domestic terrorist attack on the Union. They LIE & DENY.
Never forget that American media habitually provides cover for White supremacy and fascism by swooping in to sanitize the GOP’s Jim Crow propaganda as legitimate and substantive public policy. #SouthernStrategy101
This also happens to be the EXACT same reason CRT is the GOP’s “new” golden ticket. It’s segregationist redux and every region of America has a muscle memory for it, so don’t be surprised when it pops up in an election near you. #SouthernStrategy101
I think what’s happening is people are mistaking a shift of White woman voters (for race-based reasons) away from Ds and *back* to Rs as “Democrats didn’t turnout”. Folk don’t understand that White voters swing back and forth depending on how fearful/resentful/spiteful they feel.
The GOP hasn’t had a glowing policy or economic record to run on in at least 60 years but they’ve still won the majority of the White vote for the last 56 because their record of unyielding White supremacy speaks for itself.
A lot of the White moderates/Alt-Lefties chastising Democrats for “not having a record to run on” are the same folk who create chronic legislative gridlock by either sitting out elections in protest or purposely voting GOP bc they think divided government is a wise check/balance.
