Ahead of the 2022 midterm elections, suburban white women aren't afraid of critical race theory. They're afraid of REPUBLICANS.

Remember the guys with their long guns in the rotunda? The police just stood there.

(201 posts)That was really disgusting seeing them scream in the officers faces and the officers did nothing.
I was watching the footage on the news with my partner. I told him "Imagine the police's reaction if all the protesters had been black or Muslim. It would have been a bloodbath".

And yet their "representatives" in congress (other than gym-asst Jordan) like to coif their hair and wear conservative suits.

Yes, I'm a white, suburban, white woman.

(21,596 posts)My blue area is surrounded by counties chock full of these unreconstructed, Confederate Covidiots. There are also contingents of Boogaloo boys, who drove in from their rural and exurban areas to terrorize our town during last summers BLM protests.
KKKEMP sent state police forces to occupy our downtown and to help the local police tear gas peaceful protestors (kids, young people and one county commissioner included), but the same armed police and guard forces didnt stop the armed, Boogaloo, insurgents from terrorizing our citizens who were downtown that day.
Add in the fact that these people are most likely unvaccinated and spreading the COVID19 virus and its variants, and I hate them even more.

(45,404 posts)Biden campaigned on this. Trump's campaign was woefully out of touch with how much browner/blacker the suburbs have gotten as cities have gentrified over the years. It's cheaper to live in the suburbs of some cities and you get more space. Plus many jobs are in the suburbs nowadays.

I was sure once tfg was tfg everything would calm down. Not so, we can't seem to get rid of him and his evil and
I see more and more spewing his trash.

(21,615 posts)I hope I'm wrong about this - but we shouldn't be surprised to see things like hostage standoffs and such by next year.
The GOP far right, as you know, is going down a very dangerous hole of self-delusion - plus violent rage at seeing their delusions fritter and die.
Like a really bratty child who can't get the toy or sugary treat they want - but with assault weapons (and in some cases, training).

Usually good discussion involves substantiating one's claims.
