Considering moving to Canada. Seems too close. Italy looks like the land of opportunity. $1 for a house? Okay, I can do that. My wife can obtain her Italian citizenship and I'll be naturalized after a year. We are at the point in America where I'd be leaving this --------- country if I wasn't of German, Southern plantation, Evangelical Christian, Caucasian descent...key word descent. I've deconstructed in a major way. I'm safe for a bit, at least until September or October. November? ----. If society is still devolving by then.....deuces. Until then I'll stay and fight the fascists Trumpists. Or is it Trumpets? Maoists, Stalinist, Communist, Fascists, Nazis, Republicans....hmm. Republicanists? Doesn't have the same ring. I think it'll have to be Trumpists. ---- em.

I agree. Over the last week I have been starting a lot of hard talks with my family about race and white privilege. My family all voted for Trump. It's been surprising, and refreshing, to find out they are not the radicalized white nationalist racists I feared they might lean towards. Just the unintentional ignorant racist. The type that doesn't understand why we have black history month, how to articulate what's wrong with saying "All Lives Matter" and such. Watching Republican leaders like GBii advocates for BLM has been surprising and encouraging. My family will likely always be conservative. My goal in talking with my family is not to have them vote for Joe Biden but just to sit this election cycle out. Take one for team America. Don't vote for Trump.
Trump has gone so far over the edge in his handling of BLM and the current crisis it is becoming near impossible to separate voting for Trump from being a white nationalist. Good. Now that we know who they are and what we're dealing with maybe we can progress as a country to a more equitable quality of life for black Americans.
