Saw a time travel movie yesterday and that is what they called the times of today.
I like your points but:
1) I didn't think the election was doomed, but I wish we would have stuck with they are weird meme.
2) I think the country is ready for a woman president. Neither Harris nor Clinton got wiped out, we'll figure out how to do a proper campaign.
3) Yeah, that's probably the biggest issue. A few years back I brought up the poll that 25% of the rep base wanted to reinstitute slavery. I mean, we are clear what trump means when he says the Mexicans are taking black jobs. How do you solve the problem of a black heart?
4) We need to narrow this issue. Actually overall, the media is not doing a bad job. Multi-cultural commercials, multi-cultural tv shows and movies, and multi-cultural representation in the news booths. It's what spews out of the talking heads that is causing the problem. Is that a media problem or a CEO problem? How you address a media problem? How do you address a CEO problem?
5)Income inequality is unfair, but I don't see it as the driving force. Prices have always risen. There is always a super-rich class (and far too many people aspire to it). But there are folks when they seek a job or promotion, and it is given to a person of color, it is never by merit but by affirmative action. They couldn't possibly be better than me they are DEI. I deserved that job/promotion, I am the superior. That is NOT economic insecurity. It's just basic immaturity.
