What Trumpism Has or Has Not Taught Our Kids

Interesting stuff here.  Yes, thinking optimistically, it’s possible that there are young people who were raised to think that Republicans were the party of solid “family” values, only to learn to their disgust that these principles are actually lies, hate, ignorance, and criminality.

In the real world, I doubt that the cruel reality of Trumpism has effected significant change on any number of those kids.

I went to school with a boy whose father was an officer in the Philadelphia police department.  He told me stories, and I have to believe they were true, of his father’s and his colleagues’ pulling over black drivers who were suspected of having committed crimes.  The normal practice in these cases was, because the “liberal” court system would likely set the  “n*****s” free, was to beat the suspects into a pulp, and tell them, “If any of this leaks to the newspapers, we’re going to kill you and your entire family.”  “The n*****s,” my schoolmate said with pride, would tell anyone who asked about their broken limbs, “I’z in a gang wahh.”

Can anyone believe that the stupidity of Trumpism has turned any of this around?
