Indeed. If the Democrats had any actual integrity and knowledge of reality, they'd have recognised that fascism came to the United States in 1619. That it burgeoned into a system in 1776 and was codified into the law of the land with the "3/5 compromise".
But that fascism didn't make white people's lives harder, so they don't want to recognise it as having been systemic for generations.
It's complete shit. The Dems have said nothing as the twisted Supreme Court dismantled the Voting Rights Act, making it harder and harder for Black people to vote. They've done nothing to prevent ICE from racial profiling anyone brown enough to make them think they might be Latine, whether they're citizens or not. "Pack the court"
They're carefully protecting the rich from any awkwardness, while pretending to oppose Trump's rich-fellating policies.
They refuse to recognise the fundamental humanity of Palestinian people, and exonerate Israel for any responsibility for the starvation that's going on.
As Renton said in Trainspotting, "It's a shite state of affairs, Tommy, and all the fresh air in the world won't make any fucking difference."

@oldladyplays@wargamers.social The thing is, white people act like the Supreme Court used to be so great and fair and suddenly it's awful. Like are you fucking kidding me? With the exception of the Warren Court, the Supreme Court has NEVER been a substantial voice for civil rights. Like literally never. We have people like RBG and Sotamayor who were notable specifically because they crossed the standard line. The history of most Supreme Court rulings around race and gender ruled for the dominant demographic majority. Hell, even issues not specifically about race were entirely about race (looking at you abortion access).
But yeah, tell me how this is all new.
