Racism is certainly the #1 driving factor of Trump's administration. Next highest I'd argue is greed.

It’s the #1 driving factor of WHITE Americans. Period, full stop. Not class, not the price of gas or eggs, not billionaires — just plain old racism.

Taking responsibility as white people for what we have done collectively is not division. It’s adulthood. It’s respect for others. The sooner white people take responsibility for what the majority of us have done, the closer we get to actual progress.

I agree that we are on the same side. I also agree with the class issue. But we have to tackle both. It's not an either/or, it's a both. Until we deal with both, neither will be resolved. You enjoy the rest of your day, as well.

I never denied the points the others are making. I agree and understand them. I am simply asking how we overcome them and can beat MAGA in the next elections.

Her policies were NOT clear. She had platitudes, but no DETAILS. Trump had project 2025, a full throated detailed plan for his presidency.

Trump lied during his campaign and said he wouldn't implement Project 2025. So Trump's policies were also not clear except to send criminal immigrants home. He lied about that also because he's sending non-criminal immigrants FOLLOWING the immigration process to countries they never lived in.

I'm not going to jump on your back, but I watched both closely during that race, and her policies were better than his by miles. Politics isn't a zero-sum game. She had to shed her image from 2020 to try to win in a more Republican leaning environment in 2024.

You should read about racism & ⚪️ supremacy bc you seem to think it’s just open KKK/Nazis when it’s something we’re indoctrinated w/& have to exorcise from our subconscious. 2/2

A graph that shows white people didn’t start voting majority Republican until the Voting Rights Act was passed & then they’ve consistently done so in every presidential election since.
