Just the astronomical lack of self-awareness. "Why didn't those ungrateful minorities vote for us?" or "The problem with Latinos is . . ."

People are expressing this sentiment. Out loud. And they just . . . don't hear themselves.

DU has some seriously racially problematic commentary flooding the zone this week.

I guess that's the problem with the performative. When shit gets real, you realize there was nothing there all along. Certainly seems that way on racial issues. "I care about minorities as long as they are suitably obeying my wishes."

I've been pointing this stuff out for years here. If people don't see the ugliness now, they'll never see it. And they'll also never understand why elections get lost.

For all this talk of college-educated, I'm starting to wonder if some of these schools didn't have basic liberal arts in their curricula. Because I'm not seeing the "smart" part, but I'm absolutely watching a "set" of something.
