Hey, remember years ago when the “resistance” was all about how obviously ludicrous and indefensible “build the wall” was?

Once again:

Of all the classes that stand face to face with the bourgeoisie today, the proletariat alone is a really revolutionary class. The other classes decay and finally disappear in the face of Modern Industry; the proletariat is its special and essential product. The lower middle class, the small manufacturer, the shopkeeper, the artisan, the peasant, all these fight against the bourgeoisie, to save from extinction their existence as fractions of the middle class. They are therefore not revolutionary, but conservative. Nay more, they are reactionary, for they try to roll back the wheel of history. If by chance they are revolutionary, they are so only in view of their impending transfer into the proletariat, they thus defend not their present, but their future interests, they desert their own standpoint to place themselves at that of the proletariat.

Screencap in case of deletion:

The author of that shite is a Democrat, BTW.

White supremacy is bipartisan.

This is such an obvious and open facet of American politics that there are even fucking West Wing plots about it (which, of course, uncritically defend the practice as unremarkable commonsense politics).

But mention it to your typical middle-class liberal and they’ll act affronted and claim that you’re inventing ridiculous conspiracy theories.
