Valid point.

All too true in many ways. I find it ironic that ignorant/racist individuals attacking DEI, for example, never want to talk about how people of color dominate so many fields that are based on a true meritocracy and not legacy.

That said, we elected Obama twice. I believe we outnumber the racists but they certainly feel free to wear their racism as a badge.

Paul-I’m hoping and praying that you’re right about outnumbering the racists. I think for many it’s unconscious.

Kamala is being called the “DEI” VP and the fact that she’s next in line for the presidency motivates many to oppose Biden-even some Dems.

It may be possible that Biden is forced out by the hysteria. I doubt Kamala will be.

Certainly some are cynical manipulators, and some seem dupes. The most impoverished states tend to be the deepest MAGA.

We elected Obama but most white voters voted against him.

huh?

In 2008, 57% of white voters voted against Obama. In 2012, it was 61%. These elections scared the pants off the oligarchs who stood to benefit most from whiteman rule. They sprang into action. Trump is their man. The rubes join in to retain their systemic advantages. The oligarchs cash in.

BS how did he win

He got most of the votes. A minority of white votes plus the vast majority of the rest. Seems to me it would behoove you to check your facts before calling BS.
