(40,220 posts)1. That was exactly my thought just by reading your thread title.
It is frightening to have discovered that 40% of the people in this country are 1. Deeply ignorant 2. Racist 3. Would have been Nazis if they lived in Germany in 1940.

People aren't fighting hard enough, IMHO.
Too many people looking for incremental change when we need systemic change. Too many rich, satisfied bougies.

Politics is treated like a team sport, rather than a policy debate.
