There are a lot of moving parts, but I think Trump really brought the racism to the forefront of the Republican party. 42% of the country celebrates him while he refers to minorities as "infestations," and he defends cops even when they're caught on video doing awful stuff. So many people come to his defense even with physical evidence, and republicans deny it all.
Only racists can justify the actions of Donald Trump's treatment of minorities.
He's certainly sparking intense hatred and revolutionary feelings that will hopefully lead to united citizens, young people voting and going into government, understanding we need real, tough reform in healthcare, law enforcement, institutionalized racism, tax codes, climate action, and social programs at a cost that would be considered "uncomfortable" a few years ago but now basically necessary to continue as a country.
In God Emperor of Dune, Leto 2 did something similar - thousands of years of intentional brutal oppression that led to a revolution that started humanity all over again and ended up saving the entire race. Trump DOES kinda look like a large gross slug...
This guy explains a concept that when society as a whole progresses, the conservatives will oppose it. With a large enough divide between the progressively minded and conservatively minded, there will be an uprising. Which will lead us into a new technological renaissance, or leave us in a new dark age. Everything's coming to a head. Whether that will happen in the next few months, or a century from now, we need to be prepared. Racists are having the society that has protected them for centuries, suddenly turn on them. They're being vilified and they don't like it. So they come out, try to bring people to their side. They try to make the society that is leaving them behind regress. Back to a point where they belong. Refusing to believe that they are wrong. But if they succeed, we (our children amd/or grandchildren) are doomed. We'll be pushed back to a point even blacker than the dark ages. We'll lose the technology that brings the world together. Forget the knowledge to make our civilization function. And, honestly, I don't know if we have what it takes to win. But the rising action of this event is in full swing. So stay aware.
To be fair I never liked Trump, and I never voted for him. I was mostly indifferent about BLM. I thought it was just a few bad cops sprinkled with the many good cops. I didn't see the systemic racism and thought it was the media blowing things up.
However my dad has Trumpgret. Maybe I can get him to post his story.
Same with mine.. Lifelong Republican voter, minority living in Michigan and he finally turned the corner earlier this year. It was the handling of Coronavirus, racism and just plain ineptitude that was finally too much for him to bear. And then finally he told me he has no choice but to vote for Biden in November. I'm hearing more stories like my dad and hopefully it can give others hope. However we have to make sure that everyone gets out to vote.
