D. Mutua, Professor of Law
Critical race theory is an unbiased look at racism in American history. It is opposed by white nationalists who don't want this history to be exposed. Why do they try to outlaw this troubling examination? Because it will take off their white robes and pointed hats and expose them for what they are, race haters.
Trumps return to office is based on several things. The Democrats, funded by corporations and their rich elites, don't really want to improve the lot of working people. Democrats what to fight wars that will enrich the weapons manufacturers. They support the Israeli genocide because very rich Zionists have learned how to bribe our elected representatives. The Democrats have put right wing Zionists in the highest places of our government; just look at Blinken and Biden. The whole Democratic establishment is pro genocide.
But Trumps success is based on something much longer lasting than Democratic failings and corruption. Trump is a bigot and race hater. He has learned how to encourage and energize white nationalism, something a long line of our nation's leaders have done before him. Just read a little about critical race theory. It is all there to see.
It turns out that the very rich are turning their backs on even the pretext of democracy, and are now supporting this return to racism. Trump will make them even richer, in the short term anyway. In the long term, even the rich end up paying the price for an emerging fascism.
