For the modern conservative movement in America, it’s accountability for thee, and none for me. Cruelty for you, but civility for me. And, every day, you must concede to white supremacy, or be canceled by the increasingly radicalized and weaponized GOP.

This oppressive, maddening double standard—and their vision for the future of our diverse country—is exquisitely captured in the farcical trial of Kyle Rittenhouse, who drove across state lines and used an AR-15 to kill two people at a BLM protest in Wisconsin. Rittenhouse is claiming self-defense, because it’s totally normal for sane, rational people to drive to a different state and defend someone else’s community by openly carrying an AR-15 and pointing it at strangers during a crowded, volatile protest.

What could go wrong? The family and loved ones of the two dead victims can answer that question.

If Rittenhouse were Black or brown, we might only see chalk lines and his body on a gurney covered in a white shroud. That is, he might well have been shot and killed by the police—or else pilloried and hounded by mainstream media who have consistently referred to men of color as “thugs” and “criminals.”
