If nothing else, this entire affair should raise the consciousness (of anyone truly listening) to the blatant idiocy of thinking that career center-right politicians like Biden and his minions can suddenly be pushed left. I think that most "liberal" Boomers (my generation) are inured to just how potent is the poison that the Dems feed new congresspersons to immediately adjust their thinking toward the party norms of economic inequality, fealty to tech elites, and the war economy. That poison has rendered the Democratic Party dead to me and useless to those aforementioned liberals; although most of them, sleeping the sleep of narcissism, don't realize it.

Caitlin writes, "A society doesn't collectively reject racism until it collectively becomes aware of how destructive and insane it is." This is absolutely true of all forms of racism and bigotry, including the scapegoating of white male gentiles. It is indeed "destructive and insane" to constantly blather on about the "cisgendered, heterosexual white patriarchy" when 99% of white males are just as powerless as 99.5% of women and POC, and to continue giving a pass to the 0.5% token females and POC who enrich themselves at the expense of their brothers and sisters.
