Fair. But I'm not belittling anyone. I'm saying that the policies are worse.

We focus too much on performative racism/fascism, and not enough on systemic racism. A governor can add $100M to police budgets, or ban masks, or be vocally anti-DEI, or talk recklessly about Haitians, and nothing happens. But if it comes out that they wore blackface in a yearbook photo, or said the n-word, then everyone says OMG they're racist. I don't understand this either.

Like I said, our assignment hasn't changed. Protect the most vulnerable.
