This was interpreted as the OP having said that the official addition of white women to oppressed classes marks our descent into war, and that is insulting because the war has been going on for centuries and white women just didn't know or care. This makes sense if "the fall of the judiciary" and "the recent addition of white women to the oppressed class" are interchangeable statements, and that therefore, by stating the former the OP also implies the latter. I have seen this a lot on twitter, but the rhetoric there is more "welcome to the struggle, here's a syllabus" We have twelve years to save the planet. I am going to lecture the white women about their tardiness in year 13.

Whoa! lol
There was no assumption in my head or heart when I responded to your post. No assumption regarding all... or some... or many... not so much as f'ing baker's dozen. I was, in fact, agreeing with you and adding a wee caveat to the subset that you highlighted … white women. Perhaps, in future, you might ask the author of the post clarify before assuming that they've assumed. Whoa Quote:

A couple of quick preface points...
1. This is not intended to hijack the thread from the OP's original intent or topic of the thread. 2. The assertion that there are (white) women still loyal to Trump even after the Ford/Kavanaugh hearing and confirmation isn't one that just popped into my head. I heard it several days ago on MSNBC and it made me go WTF?? I just Googled and found a most interesting opinion piece on the subject. I've not read the whole thing (at work) but one sentence did jump out at me that might better explain the point I was trying to make in a previous post. The paragraph begins with... "We’re talking about white women. The same 53 percent who put their racial privilege ahead of their second-class gender..." If you'd like to check out the whole thing... White Women, Come Get Your People They will defend their privilege to the death. |

I can't help but think that maybe it's more than a 'civil' war. I can't help but think how T***P has a penchant for suing anyone and everyone who stands in his way of getting what he thinks he wants, when all he wants, apparently, is to monopolize people's lives, time and money (what money, right?) with his inability to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Maybe when this A-hole fucks up enough people's lives, and the ability to support themselves or their families, people will demand this A-hole be removed from office and prosecuted to the hilt, before he ties up courts forever with his brand of jack-assery. Wherever you are, I hope you're still fighting the good fight. -K-

The socio-political environment is so full of rage. People seem to jumping in each others face. I see where it's coming from - Trump, but not sure where we're headed. Anti-Semitism is rampant. Where is that coming from? We aren't even in this equation, except the fact that we seem to be the default scape-goats. "Jews will not replace us." Where DID we get involved in the initial complaint? We weren't even a target then.
As a Jew, I am a target every time we dain to go out the door, not to mention the other things that they hate. TG, I am a quiet person. If I open my mouth, be sure that all is triple filtered, re-checking continuously. How is the recipient reacting to my words, claming up often. Ain't anonymity great? Back to the purpose of this post - rage and civil war. I, too, believe that we're already in this stage, an active civil war complete with weapons. Free falling toward what, I don't know. It's beyond recognizable now. All this rage is scary, as a person who generally doesn't handle anger well. It's the most uncomfortable emotion for me. F bombs are becoming the first curse word out of folks mouth. In my speech, they're used for absolute emphasis. Many people seem angry all the time. Where is it all coming from? When talking politics, the rage is palpable. What can people accomplish being so angry? One can't make political changes with anger, but maybe that's the point. The ability to discuss ends when someone displays anger. Hats off to mediators who deal with rage filled people.
