#ThoughtExperiment #politics #BlackMastodon #BlackTwitter @blackmastodon The second part of the ThoughtExperiement asked you all to assume Trump was a distraction and to indicate what you thought the underlying root complaint is for the MAGAs. I asked Europeans not to reply, because their underlying causes of right wing discontent are different from ours AND because they are more willing to critically look at systems than Americans are. I wanted to hear from the people who live here. 1/7
#ThoughtExperiment #politics #BlackMastodon #BlackTwitter @blackmastodon A large swath of white America does not want a new world order. They are desperately fighting for Jim Crow 2.0 where people of color know their place, don’t look them in they eye and step off the sidewalk when they walk by. They want a world where they can work black and brown children to death, and kill their parents with impunity if they complain. 6/7

#ThoughtExperiment #politics #BlackMastodon #BlackTwitter @blackmastodon They want a world where women don’t get to talk and die in childbirth like it used to be so they can get the next model. Do you see it? Are you prepared to frame that issue and talk about it? If someone were to ask me how I see the fight ending, I wouldn’t be able to answer. I think there’s a 50-50 chance we go fully and openly to Jim Crow 2.0. And when I look around sometimes I wonder…which side are you all on? 7/7
@fulanigirl@blacktwitter.io @blackmastodon@a.gup.pe Ending abortion rights is their legal step towards resegregation. The hack supreme court will use their own ruling to show how constitutional it is to have lower tiers of citizenship for different groups of people
@hugoestr@functional.cafe @blackmastodon@a.gup.pe Interfering with Black people’s right to vote came WAY before the abortion ruling. You are missing some key steps on resegregation .
