benign neglect. The Rethugs ave been practicing this on the populace of color... the infrastructure... education...you name it, for over fifty years.

It has just now come "out of the closet", so to speak , because of this monster and his criminal cabal who no longer give a shit if it appears to be "benign" at all. Now it is CRIMINAL NEGLECT of everything and everyone who does not put money into his pocket.

Pretend to give a shit and then walk away has been the Rethug policy for decades.

The acceptance of benign neglect is what makes genocide possible. That is where we are headed.
