Theres an uncomfortable subject that exit polls, election post mortems & even the most progressive pundits NEVER talk about. All the political hot takes on why Trump won are based on 1 unspoken premise:

It’s time to talk about the
mono-racial coalition

We need to have an uncomfortable conversation about America
What if all the pundits, exit polls and election takes are wrong? What if the truth is even more uncomfortable?

Two of Trump’s picks (RFK Jr. & JD Vance) compared him to Hitler, his top general (Milley) called him a fascist, his attorney general (Barr) said he should not be near the White House, and his VP (Pence) said he tried to subvert the Constitution. Do not normalize this.

It’s really important to share what people are doing to actually resist fascism.

Compare these Black men to the people on here who are bleating about being “committed to fighting for democracy” but only if you follow them back by Christmas.
Strikingly, the only group that responded en mass and IMMEDIATELY to the neo-Nazi march this weekend in Columbus was a group of black men.

Everyone else? Oh, they put out statements. Black men linked arms and marched the NEXT day.

And this is why I say “Godspeed” to everyone who ain’t us.

This. THIS. I saw so many clips of the nazis walking. So many people up in arms about it. So many shocked (😒) by it.
What I didn’t see? Action steps like this to counteract their moves.
This is what we need to uplift.

For the @nytimes.com I wrote about how Enough is Enough with the incumbent president and his cabinet of folly and let’s stop coddling Trump voters and be real clear-eyed about what lies ahead. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/17/o...

To suggest we should yield even a little to Trump’s odious politics is unacceptable. Even if we did, it would never be enough.
