Comment on "The American experiment endures," Biden said. "We're going to be OK."

Hate to break it to you, we’re still near the top of the heap.

Honestly him getting re-elected is the first time in my life where I felt the absolute gravity of “Oh, THIS is white privilege” like theres no fuckin nuance to this. I’m straight, white and middle aged. If I say the right things I’ll probably be fine, not much is going to change for me.

I cant say the same for a lot of other people.

I know what you mean, but I think lying under racism is classism, and the trumpers are a party to service rich people. I doubt they will take care of their “base”. Did Trump do anything for the impoverished whites last time? I kind of gave up on the news for his entire 4 years. Alothough he did stuff for christian churches I think, which doesnt help white trash males in particular.

  He gave them table scraps while feasting with his cronies (remember those COVID checks?).

I mean, you say that, but even straight white guys often have wives and/or daughters.
