I'm a white person, and I am sick to death of some white people. I personally hope I live long enough to see a white minority. After 400 years of this, white people, men in particular , have made a total mess of everything. I love diversity, I love the different colors in the fabric of our humanity, and I've never seen any of that as a threat, of any kind. What I do see as a threat is the rabid hatred on the right. Rambo-ed up idiots at the supermarket and Starbucks, all the while screaming how they won't wear a mask because they won't live in fear. They're dangerous and they must be taken seriously, as we tragically found out on 1/6. They also must be stopped. There is nothing more dangerous than a group of people clinging desperately to power, that they know they've already lost. They will not go down without a fight and we're finding out that they will stop at nothing, even if that means they have to murder Black people one at a time, at the hands of their supporters in our police forces. I shudder to think what we would be like if 45 had gotten away with it, and remained in office. That's what's at stake. We are one election cycle away from losing our country to these racist, power hungry assholes. We must remain diligent and not get complacent.
People like Carlson, Greene, and Gosar need to have the racism slapped out of them by other white people. I'd happily do it. This country is deeply flawed, but can be better if we can teach the racists that there's no future for their hate.
Many of these folks on the right are so rabid in their beliefs because they identify being American with being white and any challenge to this belief is met with excessive anger and rage. On the other hand, for me, I had a similar reaction to Trump because his vision of this country was so contradictory to what I see as our countries core values.
I find this "New America First" thing to be not *just* about white supremacy, but of an aristocracy. Politics in this country have, for a long time, been a fairly exclusive club of the wealthy.
I also noted in among the new caucus language...1. The image at the top seems to be a composite of George Washington and Trump, and
2. This particular passage: "While certain economic and financial interest groups benefit immensely from mass immigration, legal as well as illegal, and the aggregate output of the country increases..." To me...this smacked of encouraging slavery again.

Saddens me.
