Beating a Dead Race Horse

I have no doubt that race is behind every measure by which we are now outliers in the developed world. Just look at the list of slimeballs from the South populating Washington and headlined by Mitch McConnell, Jeff Sessions, Tom Cotton and Trey Gowdy, not in any particular order of repulsiveness.

These guys all grew up in a tradition of generations of brutality and power-plays targeted at disenfranchising their fellow citizens and concentrating authority in a white aristocracy. Yes, it is about race but race is now incidental. Think of the poorer, idiot white daughters and sons of Dixie, the new screwees.

Poorer white peoples have voted themselves into oblivion and the outlines of the treasonous and illegal assault on our democracy are apparent. It is an assault on humanity and civilization by an assorted group of thugs with vested interests in consolidating power and intent on a descent into oligarchy. 

 

A humane oligarchy is theoretically possible but the latest round of abhorrent Republican stuff coming out of all three branches of government shows us where we are heading, unwillingly forced off a cliff by sheep and imbeciles comprising a core "conservative" voting bloc. Let's let race lie for a while.

This is an assault on civilization.
