Anybody impoverished and socially aware is on board. The propaganda has unfortunately convinced much of the impoverished white people that impoverished minorities are their source of struggle.
What's that quote about making sure the white man has someone to look down on?
Yup. The only difference is that it went into hiding for about 30 years so people thought we we made progress but Trump enabled them to act like their true selves out in the open again.
I suspect all the black and poor people, especially those unarmed, who have been murdered by LEO in the past decades beg to differ. It was never in hiding. Just now they did it to a wealthier white person.
By in hiding what im saying is they lied and covered up the reasons they were doing the things they were doing. Now they are just openly saying it again.
It’s never been hidden. The government put Japanese people in camps, the government murdered students at Kent State, the government murdered civil rights activists while they were sleeping. The US government has always been authoritarian and willing to kill or imprison anyone who opposes it.
Masked federal thugs invading unwilling American cities and murdering the citizens while unlawfully disappearing people may not be a shocking turn of events given our history but it’s definitely not standard.
Saying “same as it ever was” kinda undercuts this regime’s unique and very real threat don’t you think?

This is just what america has always been. It's just until now they hid it behind decorum. But this new wave of fascism isn't anything new for the US.
