Bluesky

When I was young, I grew up in a major, progressive, city in California. I always thought the idea of racism was dead, and that people were being ridiculous to make such a big deal out of it.

Then the internet really took off, and more and more I was exposed to raw, unfiltered opinions.

Racism, biggotry, misogyny, cruelty, and all of the other shitty human behaviors have been amplified by echo chambers and support groups like "X" and "Truth Social". The more people like Trump win, the more I see just how awful it is when people throw away propriety.

We see the Trump voters. We see their support for these awful, dehumanizing behaviors. We see them turn a blind eye to crime, cruelty, and genocide. These are not good people. These are the people that drag us into chaos, war, and desolation.
