@rayocentric @D_J_Nathanson @mekkaokereke Yes. I absolutely hear that, and it must not be forgotten. Fixing the US can't be about going back to "Pre-Trump". It has to be started with guaranteeing the rights of all those people who have never had the equality the constitution said they should have. And more.

The difficult answer (and I know talking hypothetically is easy) is for the reconstruction to be led by those who were most oppressed in the old regime. People of colour, Trans folk, LGBTQ+, women. It's a big ask, because these (and the others I failed to mention) are the ones who have had to fight for existence. But they can build a world that starts with inclusion. -
👴🏻ICE is out of control!@D_J_Nathanson @mekkaokereke If the US comes through this, there is so much to be set in stone for the future. I see (as a white dude in Canada) so many voices from different groups saying "Yes, it's terrible, but it has always been this way for us." It has to be set right for everyone.
