1/ Some of us see a New America being born - multicultural, multiethnic, multiracial, even multisexual. We think "Wow, how cool!" because we see it as the full actualization of America's highest destiny: unity in diversity with an extraordinary richness of talent and creativity.

2/ But what to some of us seems like an exciting prospect seems to others like a psychic annihilation of sorts, a destruction of a homogeneity that they've always identified with & which they see as the source of their authority and power. That's the contest that underlies it all

3/ Many changes are long overdue. But they represent such dramatic shift in the minds of so many that it behooves us to be patient & magnanimous, even towards those who were neither of those things towards us. Change takes time to process & people need to feel safe as they do it.

4/ That doesn't mean we should slow down!! No! We need to keep persevering, never letting up, especially now that the fruits of our fervor are beginning to appear. But on a personal level, the more loving & peaceful we keep the protests, the less chance of a backlash in Nov.

Too late, the damage is already done. People won't forget Dems gave stand down orders and let their cities burn, businesses looted and destroyed. Seattle literally let a group overtake their city hall and set up their own little zone. Dems are screwed in November.
