In terms of US politics, Bush v. Gore is the defining event of the century. It set the template: a ruthless right that instinctively seeks power & doesn't give a shit about rule of law...and a bunch of hapless, feckless octogenarian Dems worried about the good opinion of centrist opinion columnists.
The 25th anniversary of Bush v Gore is today. The conspiracy mongering & corruption of the GOP has been brewing for a long time.
Roberts, Barrett and Kavanaugh were all on Bush's legal team, where they pushed unfounded legal theories. SC justices were already enmeshed in voter fraud myths.

We’re in this mess because the leaders of the Democratic Party and our elites don’t actually believe in integration. They are integration-agnostic, if not outright pro-resegregation.

To me the settling point is this: opponents of integration have to be removed from the professional managerial class. Like wholly. That’s what “Woke 2” is to me. Rather than gently moving towards norms of integration, anyone who expresses hostility towards the project is simply removed.

Some people just have trouble with a very simple fact about American politics that has been such a dominant factor, it caused a whole civil war: racists are, in fact, racist.

I hope Woke 2 means we get to dispense with the fear of exercising power and the glorification of being an underdog in itself. Because no, I don't want to be the underdog forever. I don't want to constantly fight the establishment. I want cultural hegemony. I want the reactionaries trembling.

People concerned about the birth rates are weird. They’ll be another baby boom within the next 10 years. If they figure out a way for gays to have biological kids, the birth rate will surpass its previous high.

This rhetoric is indistinguishable from the stuff you hear coming out of white nationalists. Completely identical language.
Trump: “I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries … denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.“

Is it odd to say that I don’t care that much about Trump anymore? Obviously he’s evil, but I have far more resentment towards the people that allowed him to attain power than the man himself.

The movement to destroy liberal democracy is international, and so must be its defense
NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history."
BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.

The republican party is the party of rapists. They worship at the altar of rape. They all want to rape and facilitate rape, whether it is of women directly or of the social benefits system, what matters is someone is violently dispossessed of their agency because that is their rightful allotment.
