New breed of white folks emboldened by Trump. Like I said earlier, the no vote crew won't be satisfied until every city is a sundown town for black folk. Just like the Obama's were a walking advertisement for black families, black family values, black men in power Trump is a walking advertisement for White Supremacy. It wasn't passive with Trump though, every day was a new assault on black folks, people of color, and basic norms and decency. The fact that he didn't condemn racists did not go unnoticed, it was celebrated. You have to keep that off the main stage, and use social conditioning and peer pressure to keep the worst impulses in check. The thing is, many of these folks are off main stream media, even more so with Trump since he has them brainwashed not to trust it. They have their own information bubbles fomenting hate, and they aren't satisfied with just rhetoric, they want action. It's harder to fight it and I don't think the dems have the messaging necessary to keep folks vigilant and the coalition together to come out midterm after midterm.
@Spectrum speaking of such, did any statehouses go blue?
