I’ve been saying for years, one of the things that scares me most about President Trump is when liberals focus on him as the problem, rather than the symptom.

His presidency is enabling and committing countless harms, and getting him out of office (whether in 2021 or 2025) will curtail that somewhat.

But I’m scared that this will be when white liberals hang the “Mission Accomplished” banner and stop pushing in a flurry of self-congratulation.

(Incidentally, I still think liberals need to stop calling regressives & reactionaries “conservatives,” & moderates “liberal,” just because that’s what the GOP and Dem parties have branded themselves as. Words mean things for one’s own side, too.)
