[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This should be a turning point for the GOP. Which GOP politician will leave the MAGA cocoon and condemn this? Surely this provides some of them the excuse they need to distance themselves from Trump. They know he's in trouble, they know their party is in trouble, they know many of their seats are in jeopardy--will any of them try to course correct? [/quote]

Girl.  There is no turning point.  This is who they are.  [/quote]

“We the People” have the power. Not “them.”[/quote]

I’m responding to the point that Republicans are going to turn on trump.  No they will not.  His voters won’t either.[/quote]

And yet he is losing support.  
"they" are becoming "us"
That is how you win in democracies.[/quote]

I don’t want to be Debbie Downer but here goes:

Pp points out jokes aren’t the problem.  The prison industrial complex, over policing, wealth disparity, education disparities, the generational damages done by slavery and Jim Crow- that’s the problem.

If you are ok with the damage racism has done to society and draw your line at a video, that’s not great.  The fact that 30% of people voted for this guy is a continuing disaster.  Quite frankly I don’t care if they see the light, they’ve already done tremendous damage and will continue to do so by virtue of being too stupid to live in an advanced country and dragging us down.[/quote]

I see the video posts as text balloons to determine if he’ll get away with more. If he hears silence from the masses and media helps to protect him by downplaying coverage, and of course Congress does the ostrich, it will get worse. He laughs, says the plebes don’t care, and will push the envelope further. [/quote]

He’ll be doing that anyway.  He and his father built their family fortune — with the help of taxpayer supported federal programs — by openly refusing to rent properties to Black Americans. This was true at least through the ‘80s.  Trump poisoned public opinion against 5 Black and Brown teens by getting full page ads in NYC papers calling for their execution.  While the teens were eventually exonerated, their lives will be forever scarred by their experiences in prison — and with American “justice”.  Trump and Miller are openly racist and have openly racist goals. A good chunk of the Republicans in Congress AND their constituents are just fine with this.

That said, what would you like the masses to do that is likely to have an impact? 
I’d love it if those who he views as his peeps would rise up and push for values that include overcoming racism.  If you have some realistic suggestions for achieving that, I’m all in.  [/quote]

What should the masses do?
