So Hillary wins the election. Maybe the Dems re-take the Senate.
But what has been loosed? And what will it keep metastasizing into?

Like you and me. Our gradations of political and policy differences aside, I'm Jewish, btw. We are one many of the same "lists."

(31,849 posts)those energies have never NOT been unleashed (or, rather, those energies have never been leashed)... it's just making the news these days.
villager
(26,001 posts)...perhaps because there was a brief seeming "lull" -- publicly, anyway -- circa the 90's....
on edit: Though what am I saying? Since I was here in L.A. for the Rodney King riots.
Hmm.

(58,785 posts)We are the nation who elected Obama, but we are also the nation that reacted angrily to that election by persecuting far less powerful blacks by the many thousands. Pride in our advances has been nice, but only some of us have been paying the heavy cost and the right kind of backlash to that is way overdue.

(24,565 posts)We have gone through periods of time when many racists seemed less openly belligerent, but we know they didn't miraculously become inclusive and tolerant. And unfortunately they breed, so the future doesn't look likely to be very different either.

Surprise America! We TOLD YOU SO!
The good thing is - Trump has emboldened the dirtbags in our midst so we know who they are.
And I would totally cross the street, hold my purse close in the elevator, and and lock my car doors if I saw that guy. Not going to lie to myself or anyone else - he looks skeevy.

(57,081 posts)My week at the VA hospital, last week, has made me much, much more optimistic.
We'll never change the 54 yr old Slapnics, but the young folks I ran into are changed and they will bring that change with them. It was the most immersed I've been by the most diverse, competent people I've ever been around. Its coming around and its coming in a most complete way.
FlaGranny
(8,361 posts)He was wearing his Army Veteran hat the other day and a man started talking to him, complaining about how bad the VA was. Told him we were very pleased with them and had no problem. He said the president was lousy and Trump would fix things. Continued talking about how bad the VA was. I mentioned that Congress wouldn't appropriate the money they needed and he agreed. The dope doesn't have a clue that the Republicans run Congress I guess. I didn't argue with him - who knows who he is, except that he is a Trump supporter who has the nerve to walk up to a stranger and start a political diatribe. Wouldn't trust him to not start a scene. Got away from him as fast as possible.
marble falls
(57,081 posts)very strongly about it.
But the fact is the VA has been good about my treatment of bladder cancer and been as good about my new colon cancer. What has impressed me so very much in this last go around which has made me stay in the hospital is how competent, motivated, trained, and young and diverse the personnel are. The very top echelon is still old white guys, but its just a matter of time.
FlaGranny
(8,361 posts)your cancer. Best wishes for a full recovery.
We have never had a bad experience at the VA. Our first contact with them was in the early 80s. My husband had cancer of the tongue, had surgery there and was cured. He also had a hernia repair there.
