socialists and progressives: the history of the united states is racist, imperialist, and classist. the richest people accumulate wealth off the backs of the poorest people and police deliberately target people of color. trump is a horrible outgrowth of that violent history, 40 years of neoliberalism, a “left-wing party” that falls right-of-center, and generations of media worshipping the rich; he is a symptom, not the disease itself. we need to resist trump, yes, but capitalism, white supremacy, patriarchy, imperialism, these are the broader systems we ought to resist in the long run.
