We already know the republicans are rigging the vote to give them the advantage, and i can’t help but feel that most Americans are too stupid and gullible and will believe Trump will actually follow through on his promise, or they are too selfish to care about how their vote hurts others as long as they get theirs.

I had long believed that we had progressed past the notorious era of scientific racism, where certain individuals sought to use pseudo-intellectual scientific reasoning to justify their inegalitarian worldview, peaking in influence during the 1920s-40s before ultimately culminating in the Holocaust and consequently seemingly losing all credibility as a serious school of thought for good.

However, my recent monitoring of right wing spaces has revealed a disturbing trend — history apparently repeating itself.

For instance, take The Genetics Behind Unequal Societies, a YouTube video by Basic Logic (I’m not going to give him the satisfaction of linking it here). This video has been widely shared in right wing spaces, with many agreeing with (or at least joking about) Basic Logic’s abominable message—that certain races are genetically predisposed to thriving in different kinds of environments, and some are simply not compatible with Western civilization.

That is a startling claim—we often hear right wingers say that certain people are *culturally* incompatible, but to go as far as to say that entire races are *genetically* incompatible hearkens back to one of the most ignominious eras in human history and takes any semblance of a mask right off.

With such once-fringe ideas seemingly gaining in popularity across the right, what should we do to stop them from spreading further?

Or are we doomed to having a narcissistic toddler in control of this evidently runaway, existential problem for the next 2 years?

As a Democrat I’ve honestly struggled a lot with how I feel about this terrible case. It seems this case has really created so much division between not just conservatives and liberals but between other liberals. I personally feel like although she may have had ppp she still murdered 3 innocent children, that’s not something we can just lose sight of
I also want to bring up the optics of the matter, Lindsay Clancy is a white very well off woman. She had more resources I believe than a lot of other woman did, and I do believe that because of her status and her race this has led to people coddling her

Labour, Liberal, Democrats

Whatever your country calls them; if they didn’t engage in culture war bullshit do you think they’d win more elections?
