outrage and fear: the drug of choice of the priviledged

White Men Can’t Wait to Get Mad About a Black Woman Supreme Court Justice


*snip*

"Now a lot of those white men are hopping mad, firing off racist responses the minute President Joe Biden reaffirmed his campaign promise to nominate the first Black woman to the Supreme Court, without even waiting to find out what Black woman they’re attacking."

There was absolute affirmative action on SCOTUS. Even though a black woman first passed the bar in the late 1800's.

They are just going to have to get used to not being the default setting for everything in America.

they're aggressively hostile and opposed to EVERYTHING Democrats do and everything liberal.

They're primed to constantly attack. It's both an emotional reality and a strategic tactic. They don't have to believe any of their excuses -- and often do not, any more than they have to wait for anything to happen, or not.

could eventually reach critical mass beyond control. But since we can't shut them down it's extremely important that the many millions who are still clueless and/or in denial see what they are.

100 million didn't vote in 2016, 80 million in 2020.
