You have your thoughts - and then you have the deliberate campaign strategy of glenn youngkin and the comments of people who voted for him. The two are directly at odds. It has always been our refusal..not failure, our refusal to acknowledge this issue in our society that's lead to it's perpetuation. Moreso now as demographic shift accelerates - which people all across the spectrum derive phenomenally bad takes from which inform their voting habits. All that said..I'm an optimist too. I think the us is going to be just fine, and one day, this will be the united states of earth.
After every last white separatist is dead and buried.
I remember watching some interviews with people who claimed they were independents, shortly after the VA election. They all cited issues such as school closures and the like to why they voted for Youngkin. Of course there’s always the concern that they’re not saying what they’re actually thinking.
I remember the summer of 2020… I thought I was seeing the winds of change in the right direction. There seemed to be such unity for justice. Then the conservative backlash hit and I wasn’t expecting it to be so… bad. But at the same time, I feel like we saw more of the true majority in 2020, standing together in solidarity.
