As satisfying as it would be to say, "I told you so!" that is unhelpful, and both you and I really did want me to be wrong.🤷🏿♂️
Instead of more gloating I'll say:
1) Thank you for being the 1st person to ever come back and acknowledge!
2) That I commit to helping you survive and thrive the next four years. And I hope you'll help others survive and thrive too!
Black folk have been here before. We never really left. Community helps us thrive.

I have no interest in post election analysis. As you wrote, our community has always lived under this white supremacist system, and the system is not changing any time soon. We will continue to thrive and rise.

Mekka's analysis of this whole election had been so spot on, and i have honestly learned more from his toots than any political commentator.
He clearly outlined at the start the single most important thing the Dems needed to do (turn out the Black vote), clearly pointed out when they were failing to do that - and indeed the actual moment they just lost it completely - and was then proved right both in the result and the actual statistics of how voters behaved and how many there were.
As a privileged white guy living in Australia, i have the luxury of some detachment.
But i did want to jump in and say thank you. For educating me and being so patient.
