@[email protected] @[email protected] Interfering with Black people's right to vote came WAY before the abortion ruling. You are missing some key steps on resegregation .

#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

#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 The root of the MAGA angst is the fight for the American White Identity. The fight is over whether "White America" will join a world order where they are not on top and where their voices are not always considered the most important one or will they enter a world where there are equals who don’t look like them, don’t speak their language, don’t eat their food or pray to the same gods. 5/7

#ThoughtExperiment #politics #BlackMastodon #BlackTwitter @blackmastodon Reagan continued those polices as did both Bushes. And frankly, Bill Clinton signed some of the most repressive legislation that has ever been wielded as a hammer against poor people and people of color. What Nixon and Halderman and the others have been worried about was a population of free black and brown people, who were educated, employed and able to participate in the so-called American Dream. 4/7

#ThoughtExperiment #politics #BlackMastodon #BlackTwitter @blackmastodon Just recently someone on Mastodon re-posted the interview with Nixon’s man Halderman where he proudly admitted that they created the war on drugs to negate any forward movement that was created by the civil rights legislation of 1964/65. This happened within the lifetimes of you old heads on this site and for the young people when your parents were already adults. 3/7

#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

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] And how would that affect you specifically, where you live?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

@[email protected] @[email protected] probably but that's still kind of general. How will your life be affected?

@EvolLove @blackmastodon OK you are about to be blocked. But if you have any rational thought left, you should try and think about how the people who support fascism create concentration camps, take children from their parent and make it impossible for average income people to drive or fly now. Not in some imaginary future you are thinking of. No need to respond because you are blocked.

Can you participate in a thought experiment with me? The posts warning about fascism are good, but I'm wondering what you think fascism actually looks like. Give a thought, and list what it looks like. Don't just say "the end of democracy." List what the concrete changes will be and make it local. "In my town/city/county/state the following will happen......" Think about it before replying. Not just for #BlackMastodon .
