Combatting generational racism is the key to a livable social contract, ie cohesion
I just stumbled upon this podcast, with Nicolle Wallace / Sherrilyn Ifill (who I think has a legal mind comparable to RBG), on "how did we get here", and what happened in the States, SCOTUS rulings, district courts trying to uphold the constitution with great effort at times, winning / failing.
As Ms Ifill pointed out, the root cause of the Orange Menace's rise (my words) was due to his evident use of racism in his pursuit for the highest office, how it served him well. She also mentioned that now is the time to prepare for when he's gone, when the Repugnants are out of office, how to rebuild a safer democracy which safeguards our social contract with cohesion which will allow all to benefit.
Yes it's deep thoughts this morning, but an important conversation - in general, it tackles the issue of racism which is universal (yes even here in Montreal) and it tries to find ways to resolve this dangerous question (dangerous for our democracy/social contract responsibilities).
