our whole lifetime we celebrate john lewis and lyndon johnson and the civil rights act, and then barack obama breaking a paradigm of all white presidents, and we seem to be going backwards right now into a kind of neofascism, a states' right spasm, and it's coming largely out of the red states in the south. so it's nerve-wracking, and the thought that with social media being part of this, people are, as obama said in their own media siloes, people are getting false information and are coming to conspiracy theories running amok. we are a nation in crisis right now, but all the good people who want to heal the country have to start pushing forward the politics of of cohesion and not listen to the bombast of donald trump and his golf cart in florida continue to divide our nation of race and caste.
