The people in the 'states are going on what? their 7th decade of an ever tightening spiral of consumption and loss of agency…
They finally elected a half way decent leader in obama, who did halfway decent stuff, and now there’s recoil against that work in the form of trump.
And how many people over the years have been kicked off the edge of that spiral, having found that they cannot afford healthcare, that one small disaster like three feet of water in the basement started an inescapable failstate that burned their lives.
Sorry about the wall of text but, well, the country has had many generations of protests, petitions, affirmative actions, meetings, lectures…and now trump is getting elected.
My point, I think, is this: Everything else is failing to improve the situation, and when that state manifests, I think stronger measures become justified.
