@mekkaokereke the 2010s was a race to unsustainable economic conditions that made it perfect for the right to create an enemy to pander to everybody who was left out.

@mekkaokereke honestly I’m with you here. Why not? I do not see how dismantling the structures of white supremacy hurts me.

@mekkaokereke

where we have universal health care

where the wealthy pay appropriate taxes

where we spend as much on developing public transit infrastructure as we do developing military transit infrastructure

where capitalism is regulated

where crimes are prosecuted

where no one is above the law

@mekkaokereke
I'm with you, a better humanity emerges from the ashes.

@mekkaokereke

I'm still annoyed at the Clinton campaign trying to respond to "Make America Great Again" with "America is Already Great"

Made them look so extremely out of touch in exactly the way that their critics said they were.

@mekkaokereke it's more like... I'd prefer to be starting from where (it seemed like) we were in 2016 to make progress on racism and climate denialism and all the rest, rather than first needing to dig out of the massive hole we've fallen even further into since then, but maybe even that is a fallacy?

@mekkaokereke wait was there ever such a time?

@mekkaokereke Was there ever a time like that in the US, where we actually lived up to the ideals we spouted?

@mekkaokereke The Good Old times (TM) were never that good anyway.
