A Primer for Today and Tomorrow

It is most important that we do all that we can to help depolarize the divide and actively confront the serious threats that we face.

INTRODUCTION

My world is both very complex, and really simple underneath its layers. I see:

1. powerful elites (primarily wealthy, white, Christian, heterosexual men) using racism, sexism, classism, and homo/lesbian/trans phobias systemically to manipulate and control most other people.
2. an immediate critically important clash between two strongly opposed world views.
3. a serious danger of a right-wing takeover of power which could easily happen as soon as this year.

It is not crazy at all (for me) to fear a Fascist State where:

1. My wife being Black could be in danger because she is Black and not invisible,
2. My Black, gender-fluid step-child — could become another “statistic” — in a world where their life expectancy already is only 36,
