It is very depressing.
And all trends point to this paradigm growing stronger and stronger for the foreseeable future.
How long is half the nation going to put up with ALWAYS being dismissed and vilified?
Looking at it from a political (yuck) perspective, one of the things it will take is for the Republican party to improve its message and its messaging and to use better messengers. I'm dead serious about that.
I realize that it goes against its core to single out individual groups - and I agree and sympathize with that - but the party needs to see that it's the only way this can be done. The notion that "we are for everyone" simply will not work after generations of the Democrats' strategy of singling them out and isolating them.
The message, messaging and messengers need to be upgraded. That would be a start.
.
Can't work for three reasons.
1. Our messages will not be heard, due to filtering by the media and by being drowned out by the lies.
I was talking to NAT yesterday, and I said that Hillary had rode her husbands career to a position of power. He came back to me and ridiculed me for claim that no woman could ever rise to high office on her own.
That is how the media and pop culture presents our message to the people. As long as that is the case we will never make any headway.
2. The only way to pander to any group other than whites would mean betraying the interests of their base in order to ATTEMPT to reach out to other groups. And they would fail, anyways, and lose support from their base in the process. This only accelerates the arrival of the One Party State that is our almost certain future.
3. And if the GOP is betraying the interests of my group, (the largest single group in the nation) and/or the nation as a whole to pander to the interests of minorities, then what is the point? At that point, me and mine are are out in the Cold forever, with our interests and agenda to never again be the platform of any national party.
