The talk of race, equity and all this woke shit I don't really give it too much thought. Not that I don't care but it feels like a smokescreen. We get bogged down in this nonsense and people, both on the left and right, don't pay that much attention to it because it has no impact on their day to day lives. How many gay and trans people do you know? Do the people in your neighborhood or in your workplace talks about race non stop or do you get along?
Bigger issues are much more important. Immigration, corruption, breakdown of law and order, loss of jobs, higher taxes, attacks on our freedoms, gas prices --- those issues matter because it impacts everyone except the elite.
The issues that get the most attention are fringe issues, Dr. Seuss type stuff, but the real issues of racism are never addressed. Why is racism so alive today because it works for the Democrats. It is the weapon that wins all battles because no one has the courage to talk about it. When you keep a subject in the closet it is scary because you don't know how to address it.
What was theraputic about Trump is because someone said it for us. Everyone thinks these thoughts and finally someone said it. It came out of the closet and it felt good. Trump wasn't racist and you know when someone is not racist because he was willing to talk about it to anyone.
Fetch -- Yea you are right. I didn't want to say it was unimportant but once we don't stomp on the foot in the door, the door remains open. I think they are hitting us with so many ways and from every direction it is hard to focus on what is worth fighting for right now. What is also taking place is time and energy is being used up and as we return to the workplace we won't have the time and energy to return to this level of awareness. They released everything at the same time to distance themselves from the steal and fake coup but we will never forget but it might not matter in the end.
