From defunding police to tearing down statues of Thomas Jefferson and getting Gone With The Wind cancelled, this Cultural Revolution stuff is building *a lot* of quiet resentment -- resentment that isn't going to disappear once Trump disappears.

Trump got elected on a wave of whitelash provoked by the mere existence of a reasonable black president. Once he's out of office and the pandemic is over, the political pendulum is going to swing back at us three times as hard because of this shit.
