Also that they are super-fond of authoritarianism, just for their stuff. Like, I am sitting here going, "I genuinely don't know how to handle a free press that is in the tank for Trump while respecting free speech and not going too far" and they don't seem to grapple with anything like that.
I know so many other white people who will talk my ear off about how bad things are getting. Then when you invite them to an action it’s pickleball day, or band boosters meeting, “Long week at work and I need a break bro”. As a white person I am surrounded white people who refuse to walk the walk.
