    The democrats have been taking ethnic and racial minorities, women, and the working class for granted for decades. The slow erosion got faster, and now they got what they deserved. With no viable alternative on the left, they turned to the right. And now the democrats are slowly becoming the party of self-loathing white privilege, and they feel comfortable saying that it’s “straight-up BS” that poor people matter. Poors, blacks, browns, and uteruses are just supposed to vote Democrat no matter what, right? That’s what my privileged, white, college-educated friends tell me anyway. The dems got kicked in the teeth, and (almost) everyone’s going to suffer for it.

        You’re here, you’re queer, and you’re about to go 40 years backwards in social acceptance. And the scary part is there’s no way to go back into the closet in the world we live in with social media. Here’s hoping the ascendant radical right wing isn’t as bad as people think.

      Only one thing I disagree with, they’re not taking minorities for granted, they’re holding them for ransom. They deliberately refuse to codify civil liberties and anti corruption measures in case they’d like to use them.
