    it was the blunt realization of how effective republicans were using racism to distract from wealth inequality.

    Definitely. I notice my colleagues, who are kind of on the right, are more animated and vibrant talking about culture wars. Not once I have heard them talk about wealth inequality. I mentioned it in another post that it’s easier to stoke angry emotions towards one another.

      Bring that shit up.

      Be a broken fucking record about it.

      Either you’ll get thru to them, or they’ll avoid talking “politics” around you because you always just being up how it’s the billionaires fault…

      But then you’re not having to talk to them and a constant reminder that whatever they were about to bitch about:

      Yeah, but also billionaires shouldn’t exist
