"But don’t worry, they’re not blaming themselves for it, they’re not going around saying “Man those horrible polices I enacted really hurt my chances at re-election.” No, no, no, no, according to these Republicans who are being out raised by Democrats, this is all Donald Trump’s fault. The taint of Trump spreads across the land, we just have too much anti Trump sentiment in this country for any Republican to be able to raise enough money to beat a Democrat.
That’s what they’re saying right now. And to an extent, there is some truth to that. Yes, the stench of Trump is hurting all Republicans, but see what’s happened in the last few years, or last year and a half I should say, is that voters are no longer distinguishing between Donald Trump and the rest of the Republican Party. That separating doesn’t exist anymore. Donald Trump is not a different breed of Republican, he is the current breed of Republican.
And all of those people who refuse to stand up to him in congress are just like him. They either tacitly or openly endorse what he says, what he does, and voters are pissed. That’s what’s happening here, that’s why you can’t out raise the Democrats at this point. And it Republicans think “Oh, this is no big deal, we’ll still win, the money will come.” Yeah, historically that’s not true."
"The man stopped dead in his tracks, turned around and gave her a look of shock, anger and then unmitigated fear. He was black. She was white. He knew exactly what she was saying and so did I, and most horrendously, so did she. When white people threaten to call the police on black people—out of anger, out of spite, out of pure vindictiveness—they are effectively saying, “I’ll kill you!” They’re just using a legal extension of white supremacy to do it. It’s high time we start considering these bigots just as much a threat as the police they summon to do their bidding."
It's too long to copy, but if you can you should read every word. It's written by a black man talking about how white people use the police as their own beatdown force and never get charged for it.
I'll be on the road tomorrow (to my sister-in-law's wake and back again) then will have grandchildren visiting through Tuesday. If I am sparsely present, that's why. I'll try. At least the front page posts are all set to go. I'll be thinking of you!! ♥
