Are Trump supporters feeling the panic we felt under his “reign?” And if so, how do we change their minds?
I heard at least three people close to me, all liberal like I am, and white like I am, express a feeling of having their eyes and hearts opened to the plight of Black Americans in the wake of George Floyd’s death.

But, I also believe that this newfound awareness I, and others like me, have, is the formerly missing catalyst for lasting change. The full support of ordinary white people like me is what is needed for things to change, and I’m committed to helping that happen.

I would suggest substituting “rain” for “reign”, but then water might take me to court. (Cue the vaudeville comedy theme.)

I am committed to changing the narrative as well!
