Are we witnessing the opening chapters of this hypothetical book?

Will this book ever be written? Yes or no?

If yes, in what century will this book be written?

Has Trump caused this destruction? By walking to the church next door and holding up a Bible?

I don't think that these revolutionary activities are caused by Trump. I think that these activities have been planned for a very long time.

Thoughts?

This is caused by brats who didn't get their way in 2016. They deluded themselves so bad they thought they were never going to lose another election.

Of course Trump did not cause this. He is the only One standing between us and the Abyss. But your point is well taken. Need more time and info to make that assumption. Next 6 months will be telling in our History.

I don’t know about the decline of the country. We still have a lot of advantages and economic strength relative to other countries.

We are seeing some of the problems that have plagued us since the beginning of our country. We still have racial bias and prejudice particularly in the context of the criminal justice system. This country has to answer those challenges. You can’t expect people to remain silent forever in the face of injustice. We shouldn’t expect that.

Not yet. This is 1968 and 72 with social media and a 24 hour news cycle.

Would have liked to have seen North Blvd on CNN, and how they would've tried to sugarcoat it.

Like affirmative action.

The only legal form of racism that nobody wants to have a conversation about.

That's not entirely accurate. I see threads on here all the time asking what OP asked. I'm honestly starting to believe it is on a serious decline.

When the rich keep getting richer, and the poor keep getting poorer, and the middle class shrinks, what did you think would happen?

Trump is cutting the head off the snake - it’s contracting violently in reaction to the cut.
That’s what we are seeing now; a no holds bar attempt to stave off the beheading, but the beheading is already at hand.



I hope and pray this is the case...

I can only imagine the doom and gloom that was going on in the 60s

I don’t think affirmative action is racism. It is in place because of systemic racial prejudice against people of color who are minorities in this country. You can talk about affirmative action if you want. That doesn’t excuse the massive prejudice and bias against people of color Particularly within the context of the criminal justice system.

You can start generally with how African Americans are often treated by the criminal justice system and police. To be more specific, look at the study of traffic stops in North Carolina that shows controlling for variables that being black means you are more likely to be stopped and have your car search. Look at the study done by the federal sentencing commission showing that when all factors are the same being a black man means you get a longer sentence than a white man. Those are two examples of the systemic problems in this country.
