Yeah. Took my girl to my grandmother's funeral. The woman (grandmother) never left the small town where I was born, and all of that side of the family did the same. I'll never forget some of my younger self's closest friends (hadn't been back or really spoken to anyone in over a decade because I suck at communication) and a ton of older relatives basically started talking about the local "Mexican problem" but had to clarify that they weren't complaining about her. The funny part is she's a fucking highly Americanized Cuban. It was one of the most awkward and anger inducing situations I've witnessed.
"No offense to you, but we racially profile anyone who looks like you and basically always conclude that they're lazy criminals who are somehow stealing our jobs and raping everyone. But not you, since you are obviously good enough for our white friend/relative. If you don't scare him, then you must be one of the good ones."

I hated it.
I appreciated Bidens attempts at an actual debate. Using statistics and examples, as opposed to Trumps random rambling with absolutely no numbers and wild claims. But dude still fumbled it multiple times and at the end of every single question he looked winded and stumbled over the words. He is not alright.
Still baffles me that we are currently seeing the record for the two oldest people to run for President. Breaking the previous one, set by the same two old fucks four years ago.
At this point, you're voting based on VP because either one might keel over at any moment. Or get arrested, in ones case.

I was thinking something like this last night. If Biden dies in office, Harris takes over and business continues like normal, more or less.
Trump, however, is building the Republican party as his own personal cult. We know they're all loyal to him, but what happens if he dies in office? Who will they all be loyal to when the only person they've been loyal to is gone? My bet, they all turn on each other, the remainder of the term is absolute chaos. Afterwards either a new (more same) Republican leader steps up or a new party emerges entirely.

It’s not even just the term “black jobs”, it’s the way he used it. Illegal immigrants are coming across the border and taking black jobs.

And…. why say it? To spread anti-immigrant hatred. A vibrant and profitable American political tradition.
In the Americas, the name of the game is “colonization”. The tactic is “divide and conquer”, the single most universal tool in the exploitation and oppression of the masses. Its effectiveness is so unquestioned that the phrase is used in causal conversation to describe ‘getting shit done faster’.
Anywhere people’s numbers are large or significant, they are divided and turned against each other to weaken them. Categorizing, distinguishing, and ranking people is toxic but it works as a means to an end so people keep doing it. Even though it hurts us all.
The psychological effect of mass media and advertising being able to do this was bad enough, now power brokers are able to buy the ability to design and target varying flavors of fear and hate as necessary to directly manipulate specific groups, even to individuals at specific locations.
The largest group of people this is currently happening to is women, who have been under attack for centuries, and now just lost their right to live and are being left to die. Why? Because they divided the doctor from the patient. They made the doctor afraid of punishment for treating their patient. And it worked.

I dated a White guy from a wealthy family in Boca. His mom wanted to take us to the country club for lunch.
What he saw: We pulled up, the valet took his car, we walked inside to meet his mom and step-dad, we had a nice lunch, I got upset and left.
What I saw: We pulled up, the fully Mexican valet team took his car, we walked inside a room filled with only White people, and were served by a staff of ONLY Nigerians. The Nigerian men were the servers and the Nigerian women were cooking. I left because his mom and step-dad did it intentionally to send me a message. My boyfriend of the time followed me and once I pointed it out, he was livid. I only know where the staff from the country club are from because he went to ask the valet, the servers, and the cooks.
It impacted their relationship and we never went back there again. But we eventually broke up and his mom was quick to set him up with someone who fit more of her aesthetic. It didn’t work out though and their relationship became more severed.

They heard word of racism and sent in black people to inquire about getting an apartment and they were told there were none available. They then sent in white couples right after and shocker there were apts available. Both people that asked about the apt and the NY Human Rights Division then confronted the Superintendent about the discrimination who stated, QUOTE, "Well, I'm only doing what my boss told me to do- I am not allowed to rent to black tenants". Who was the boss? Trump Management.

The term the blacks is used to objectify the individual members of that group. It implies that they are all part of some kind of hive mind thought process and incapable of acting as individuals. People who use this term then fail to recognise the individual and treat them as a representative of the whole group where all members think the same, feel the same and act the same. It makes it much easier to be racist with this type of mindset. This is also the type of mindset that leads to mass violence and genocide.

Trump talked about this in the context of migrants taking these "black jobs". You know the jobs illegal immigrants take? The ones that don't pay a fair wage or offer benefits or worker protections. You know, basically indentured servitude? We quit working those kinds of jobs after the first Juneteenth. There was a whole Civil War over this.

We either get a corpse that the strongest forms of necromancy can't keep him animated until November, or we get all of the collective energy of that racist lieing narcissistic conspiracy uncle that still somehow gets invited to family gatherings as our options to be president.
Like, why do I have to vote for the lesser evil rather than for the better option? Fucking, hell.

This reminds me of the joke Seth Meyers told at the White House Correspondents Dinner:
Donald Trump says he has a great relationship with the Blacks. Unless the Blacks are a family of white people, I think he’s mistaken.

A black job is whatever the hell Tim Scott does when he’s kissing Donny’s ass.

I (55F) am still feeling traumatized by this debate. I can only imagine how my son's generation is processing and dealing with our options. Old as I am, I am sitting here trying to understand why we couldn't find any other options.
I know I am biased and this fear stems from the fact that I have an 88 year old mother who was diagnosed with Alzheimers over a decade ago.
How are you younger people coping? How will you vote?
