Here is a scary thought experiment.
Let’s pretend Trump won the popular vote by about 3,000,000 votes. Let’s also pretend Hillary won the EC because black voters were more spread out, and they predominated in rural states that increased their EV power per capita.
Because if you reverse Trump and Clinton and put “white” instead of “black,” you get exactly what happened.
So picture the above scenario happening. Picture Trump’s tweeting. Picture the white rage. Picture the “open carry” marches. Picture how we and all black people would be told to not “Act too proudly.”
Would we still see these stupid homilies about the wisdom of the Founding Fathers? Would we still be seeing stupid self-serving cliches like “We live in a Republic, not a Democracy talk.”
Would there be violence? I think there would be.
How would they react if we started saying, or black people in general started saying, “You lost. Get over it Conservatard!” or “Drinking my conservatard tears in a my Clinton mug?”
Just thinking of this, tells me how much white privilege is taken for granted, especially by the major media outlets.
