@benroyce @swacknificent @maya_b @gerowen @ariarhythmic @Mastodon @mellifluousbox it doesn't reward them economically. Bigots lose money and life expectancy. BUT they get more bigotry, and that's all they care about.

@benroyce @swacknificent @maya_b @gerowen @ariarhythmic @Mastodon @mellifluousbox you're absolutely correct. AND modern plutocracy is overwhelmingly caused by bigotry.

@benroyce @swacknificent @maya_b @gerowen @ariarhythmic @Mastodon @mellifluousbox you are absolutely correct. BUT remember that plutocrat numbers and aggregate wealth were MUCH smaller immediately after Civil Rights. Racist voters have massively concentrated wealth and opportunity ever since Civil Rights, to keep them away from black people. Poor racists created today's toxic, threatening billionaire class.

@benroyce @swacknificent @maya_b @gerowen @ariarhythmic @Mastodon @mellifluousbox they understand. They are facing brutal racial profiling, racist xenophobia, attacks for speaking Spanish. They don't care. Like almost all white women, they are big beneficiaries of the Civil Rights movement who spend their lives undermining that legacy to the benefit of despicable white men.

@mastodonmigration @benroyce @swacknificent @maya_b @gerowen @ariarhythmic @Mastodon @mellifluousbox the percentage actually willing to vote GOP: again is a lot higher than 50%. Remember, Trump's approval was 34% after Jan 6th. 49% actually voted for him again.

@benroyce @swacknificent @maya_b @gerowen @ariarhythmic @Mastodon @mellifluousbox yes, the GOP is far less diverse. But its diversity is increasing fast. 25% of Trump's voters were nonwhite, a new GOP high since the Great Depression. I don't know that that means disunity. They are united around Nazi eugenics. There's a LOT of self-loathing among PoC unfortunately, particularly non-blacks.

@benroyce @swacknificent @maya_b @gerowen @ariarhythmic @Mastodon @mellifluousbox no. I remember when conservatives united to repeatedly beat, arrested and shot at MLK. I remember the day they succeeded when he was 39 yrs old. There's nothing happening here that wasn't far worse back in them good old days a$$holes(not brainwashed ppl) call #MAGA.

@benroyce @swacknificent @maya_b @gerowen @ariarhythmic @Mastodon @mellifluousbox righties are not brainwashed. They're a$$holes. They are willfully evil, horrible people and they know it.

@benroyce @swacknificent @maya_b @gerowen @ariarhythmic @Mastodon @mellifluousbox this is bullshit. Racism is not manufactured by plutocrats. It has dominated Western culture for centuries before Adolf Hitler was born. It heavily infests the US left as well.
