I'm so sorry, but we have something to be grateful for from dRump.

Because he failed so miserably to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, and by the way, now killed over 120,000 people, we were sheltering in place when George Floyd was murdered. Due to the horrific nature of the murder by Minneapolis police, even white people were outraged and went into the streets and have stayed there to protest this crime.

So, what is the good thing we have from dRump? We are having a national conversation about race that we weren’t able to have only one month ago. Let’s hope we can continue.

Grateful?

5. 😏

2. uh, no

there is nothing... nothing to be grateful about in reference to trump... he gets absolutely no credit for any conversation about racism... he is a disgraceful, vile, vulgar, non-curious, ignorant excuse for a human

[PJMcK]

3. Don't try to connect those dots

Trump gets no credit for anything. After all, he told us clearly that he has no responsibility. Well, that's a two-way street and no responsibility = no credit.

The events you mentioned are positive developments that will hopefully continue but they are unrelated. Meanwhile, Trump has consistently fanned the racist flames throughout his life.

4. This OP shouldn't even be on DU.

Sorry. Just my two cents.

6. fuck that

[empedocles]

7. Grateful is not the right word, agreed. However, adolph was so toxically terrible in so

many ways, that German folk benefited tremendously from the anti-adolph reforms passed in reaction to the reich - for over 70 years, and still going strong.

trump, if he ends badly, may also fuel generations saving reforms.

8. That's too Sarandan-esque

We should not have to hit rock bottom in order to improve. We've had the warnings about things from institutional racism to climate change.

I don't know what the answer is, but the way things are going in the world, taking things too far makes solving the problem harder.
