Professor, journalist and political scientist Dr. Jason Johnson sits down with Michael Harriot to discuss what you can expect from your new totalitarian government.
The most critical tenet that I heard from Dr. Jason Johnson is the fact that 57% of the majority are willing to give over this country to authoritarianism to stop any progress for minorities.
I am sure this is true because it's been my lived experience in the work place. I had my boss or a VP torpedo programs I was working on to stop (in their minds) me, which was actually the business and not me, from doing well (making money, making a team more efficient, getting more contracts) due to whatever ism was in their head. None of them experienced negative repercussions. None of them understood, nor cared about the business harm or loss - sound familiar? They kept their jobs and or even got promoted.
Because I saw this phenomenon over and over again, I'm not surprised this is where we are as a country.
Ask yourself this question of let's say a left leaning person - do you think all people - minorities, legal immigrants - deserve health care? More people than you would think, would say no. Hence our current president.
This is a similar line to the one in Game of Thrones where she says that the men would rather burn it all down than have a woman rule. Sounds about white.
Insightful and important that he cited the long-term projections and consequences of this shit. Yes, we have been through this before, but this time, we really have to get our mindsets together...no more foolishness, we can't afford it.
It is abundantly cllear that white supremacists have taken over the power in our federal government. Using DEI as an excuse of excessive government overrreach, and as being itself "racism", and thus banned, is one step they've achieved. Purging all mentions of Black and Hispanic and Native American persons, women, and LGBTQ persons in government archives, documents, displays, communications, everything, is a strong hint. Fpotus’s power has always sprung from overt racism, and it continues to bind all maga and Republicans now. They want segregation between Whites and all others back. They want to end voting by non-Whites. They want only White, men preferably, to have jobs, own property, get good healthcare and pensions, and they want to restrict non-Whites from any protections of the law or constitution. These are the facts driving the current push into a Whites only dictatorship. Fact.
Are we ever gonna stop seeing whites as necessary? They are more like a hindrance, saying not right now, maybe when you (pick one), we will give you the right to live. The Panthers knew to cockblock the white man from its membership in order to control the positive output to the black communitees it was trying to help. You elites always think upward mobile instead of outward into the communities as the Panthers showed. Where are our 'Master Teachers'? Not in our communities. No, y'all master teaching whites in their prestigious schools and kissing the rings of MSNBC and CNN. We fail because the goal is "whiteness" not freedom from oppression. Autocracy isn't new to us; we know how to duck and hide.

Democrats are NOT the opposition party. We needed an opposition party. It's already too late for democracy to survive or return.

Thoroughly enjoyed the conversation. Unfortunately, the audio did have an echo.
It's actually $200k income now for Harvard. If your parents make less than $200k you can get free tuition.
