United we stand, divided we fall. Minds can be changed best by persuasion, not so much by conflict.

has been and WILL BE always with human beings. Roe v Wade being overturned is one extreme RW American symptom recently. Need I explain? This clown trump brought all racists who resided under the surface(barely) of the American cultural-racial strata to the forefront of American racial policies and politics...again. He took all sub-conscious shame and guilt of the white race from the first enslaved African people in Jamestown in 1619. Of sex farms of African-American women, boys and men. The brutal genocide and subjugation of millions of First-Americans. African-American racial segregation in ghettos, redlining, police murder and brutality, hangings, torturing and burnings, medical experiments and many more depravities visited upon the minds and bodies of African-American men, women and children.

And now this grifting con man POS wants another shot to destroy this democracy to create his own fascist state. The ex-potus POS has only shown me how much hate resides in a sizable majority of white Americans and their self-hating helpers. A perfect example is sitting on our Supreme Court now and is ready to take voting, human and civil rights from non-white Americans.

Truthfully, our only real hope is to maintain our voting system and the integrity of equality it offers to all Americans desiring our current democracy to continue.

it won't stop with just non-white Americans losing their voting, human and civil rights, ultimately going down that path can only result with everyone losing.
