I would answer âget worse, but then, get betterâ, and I hope Iâm right. It would be Pollyanna-ish to think weâve hit rock bottom and are steadily getting better, but I do think the numbers and access to information and ability to organize thanks to the internet make it impossible for racists to truly attain full power again. A last push, that theyâre doing now, sure, but they canât sustain it. They donât have the numbers, and most of them are dying off.

At the same time they use every method possible to slow down efforts to declare their actions illegal or invalid in court. I really get the feeling they are expecting more power from the state and federal level (via GOP pols) through legislation like the type being passed in TX and FL that would remove any risk of losing power because of a court decision:
