The “norms” of before that Utah Gov. Cox speaks of caused this state of affairs. #Trumpism and #MAGA are consequences of that belief system, not the architects of our discontent. MAGA wants to end #pluralism; it rejects an inclusive America, it embraces authoritarian rule, and it romanticizes a renewal of #JimCrow #culture that was never deconstructed and so never truly ended. I say that #Reconstruction always fails without preceding rigorous, honest #Deconstruction. Forget about “polarization”; the real problem with American politics is the radicalized right-wing. #JamelleBouie #US #History #Politics #Law #Ethnicity #Race #Sex #Gender #Religion #Neoliberalism #Capitalism #Oligarchy #Patriarchy #WhiteSupremacy #Christofascism #Ethnostatehood https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwW90Xrfon4&t=29s
