What is it that keeps some people on the white left in denial?
This election was the siren’s song of hate, and white supremacy Hating that a black man and his family dared soil the lily white White House. Hating that a woman dared to follow in his footsteps.
Have you ever bothered to listen to the clarion call of Trump and Company who are vilely and openly antisemitic? Don’t you know the Klan hates Jews?
This shit isn’t about the economic insecurity of the poor white workers. Hell — Trump voters have it pretty damned good from where I sit on the economic ladder.

Pleas go take a long browse over to the Southern Poverty Law Center.
What America did you grow up in? I lived through the frigging persecution of my parents communist and socialist friends and comrades — most of whom were non-religious Jews. I watched my dad stand up to the Klan. I suffered through COINTELPRO. I am lucky to be alive, and I know it. A whole lot of folks aren’t.
This movement of ugly angry white people and their deluded not-white lackeys should be a wake up call to you all.
You can keep on posting diary after diary on how this loss is Hillary’s fault, Obama’s fault, Markos’ fault, black people’s fault, latinos fault — but in the end it ain’t gonna change things.
You can keep fantasizing about Bernie woulda... coulda.
Nothing will change till the white left decides to embrace anti-racism and anti-misogyny.
Got a message for you.
Denial is not a river in Egypt.
It does flow strongly here.
