Must be quite a shock to see this vulgar return of overt white racism

[slightlv]

88. I'm not shocked that it's raised its head once again...

but I AM shocked at just how many racists, misogynists', and people who hate anything and everything just to feel that rush of adrenalin that we actually have in the US. "United States" my butt. We need to break into two countries and let those racists go their way, while we go ours and try to rebuild the country we and the Founders wanted. Even the Founders saw way back when we weren't perfect... they were tilted towards landed white men and couldn't even come to count POC as whole people. Women, meanwhile, weren't even afforded a 1/5's count towards a person. This is why they saw the constitution as a living document... something this RW "originalists" deny and cannot abide.

The fact that SO many people hate is the only thing that shocks me. I thought we, as a whole, were better than that. trump has brought at the worst in all of us. Even *I* have learned to hate -- tho it's the RW I hate, which I feel completely justified in feeling. But RW's say the same thing. trump and his nazi brood of an administration have elevated Hate to the highest compliment of being an American. I hope we can change this at some point, but many people... like me... are going to have to a lot of therapy to change.
