For what can be more absurd than to persist in carrying a burden of which we wish to be eased? To detest, & yet to strive to preserve our existence? In a word, to caress the serpent that devours us, & hug him close to our bosoms till he has gnawed into our heart? - Lady Cun茅gonde

The most frustrating thing getting people to understand in the dynamics of power is beyond on who you are willing to date or how you treat someone from another group.
Systemic is hidden behavior in policy, resources, & perception that allow Group A to have power over Group B.
Race, Politics, and Spouses...
A quick but necessary thread to understand how it impacts voters' perceptions of candidates:
VP presidential candidate Vance saw a very visceral response when MAGA realized his wife was Usha. Attacks came the moment she walked on stage - a shock too many. For a period after the convention there was talk of replacing him because of it.
Stanford in the ACC is the craziest thing I have ever heard.
And where do they go next, the Big 10?
In its first ACC season, Stanford needed a win over North Carolina to protect its shot at the conference tournament. But more than that was at stake for the two elite women鈥檚 soccer programs. trib.al/GeCnage

This has reached comical levels.
A man with a shotgun, a loaded handgun and ammunition in his vehicle was arrested at a security checkpoint outside Donald Trump's rally Saturday night in the Southern California, authorities said Sunday. trib.al/yQMbsnn
That is what I think is being left out of the analysis.
The assumption that all capital is economic or political has been one of the largest blind spots in understanding Trump鈥檚 appeal.
Populism in Trump鈥檚 case has always been the desire for European Americans to keep control of the social capital of the country which many feel is becoming impoverished.
Something is coming after capitalism, this is inevitable because human systems evolve.
However, what evidence based on previous evolution of economic systems does anyone have that it will be better?

Mark Cuban: "All we've seen Trump do is hire is relatives. RNC? Here comes the daughter in law. Who's gonna speak for him? His two sons. Hey we've got a new silver coin! Here comes another son. The family business is now the Republican Party."
I have a thing now where if a stranger shows me kindness or I witness someone being kind I write them a note and give it to them. I want people to know it is appreciated to feel and see their impact on the world.
Even if it means I have to go and find them later.
Somewhere I have heard this story before....
