[egbertowillies]

In strikingly optimistic prose, Anand Giridharadas gets the insurrection on the Capitol correct. It is the funeral for white supremacy.

1. funeral? Not likely

any time soon. I do wish that the 6th was the straw that broke the hold that white nationalism and racism has on millions of Caucasians and their other allies...nah.

2. well, a lot of them were drawn to DC and have been arrested

in one sense, Trump flushed out all the extreme kooks.

Thanks, Trump!

4. The extreme kooks are the ones funding these operations. They are filthy rich and above the law.

They will continue to foment discord as long as they can benefit from it and stay incognito.

3. I think he's spot on. It is a backlash. nt

5. Hello. I'm not sure I would go so far as to say this is the funeral of white supremacy.

We're getting there, but not yet.

I do think this storming of the Capitol was horrifying to many millions of Americans. And I think that now that white supremacy is out in the light, most will repudiate it.

So that is encouraging.

But these are domestic terrorists. They will be with us for some time until we pass a domestic terror law, and then root them out.
