How many times since Trump came down the escalator have you said or thought “why don’t they care about this”?

The THEY might be the media, or Trump voters, or GOP office holders or whomever.
The THIS could be racism, sexism, xenophobia, lying, cheating, or almost anything.

I believe we are in the last vestiges of white folks trying to cling to power.

Until they are reduced to being a minority, it will be more of the same.

5. Right now the other is facing the brunt of the upfront hate. If it was 75% of white

... people eating the gate from this admin then people world be in the streets.

It's a matter of who they're screwing with ... Same if it were blacks
