The democrats concentrated on snaring the brown and black vote and ignored the plight of white middle class workers -- so they lost.
The republicans are led by a billionaire white racist.
Clearly, we are in the midst of a racist-classist war. On one side, the ultra rich and the worried white Christian middle class who realizes they are losing their economic and social power.
On the other side, you have all the non-whites, the non-Christians, women, gay men and gay women, unemployed workers, people spending their lives at part-time low wage jobs with little or no hope for economic improvement under the current leadership of the 1% and all the legislators they have bought.
Historically -- a subject in which I am keenly interested -- the people who fought the same struggles from the turn of the last century to the present -- the organizations who helped formed the unions and fought racism, sexism and unfair exploitation were joined by communists and socialists, because they believed in the same struggle for human fairness and equality.
That's why Bernie Sanders was so successful.
America still says it believes in equality and justice under the law. America Inc. doesn't.
Unless you're totally mad, you have to agree we are in the midst of a classist-racist war.
And then you have to decide which side you're on.
Face it, Trump may not be pleased that virtually every white racist organisation -- the KKK, the Nazis, Skinheads, etc. -- still celebrate his victory -- but no one can deny that all those people who for the most part claim they are white Christian Americans, and the "real" Americans who should rightfully own and run this country, are indeed Trump's following.
One thing for sure -- America can't progress unless we resolve the basic issues that divide us. Soon there will be more Latinos, Blacks, gays, young people and freedom-seeking feminists than white Christians. And that's a fact even Trump and his warped followers admit.
Trump and his "let's make America Great Again" mob are going to lose. Couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch!
Long live We The People!
