Summary
After Donald Trump’s 2024 victory, many politically engaged Black women are reassessing their role as key organizers in U.S. democracy.
Despite 92% supporting Kamala Harris, Black women expressed disillusionment over their contributions being met with indifference.
Historically at the forefront of social change, some are now prioritizing rest and mental health, shifting away from the “backbone” role in movements.
While some fear this withdrawal could leave gaps in advocacy, others argue it’s time for other groups to step up, as Black women grapple with the nation’s lack of solidarity with their concerns.
The win wasn’t about any culture related stuff, don’t spread that idea.
People voting republican will always be stupider on average, and they genuinely believed that the tariffs were going to help them.
All of this is related to the economy, which retail execs helped worsen because of price increases. It’s all economic pressures being painted as cultural stuff.
The culture war is a distraction, the only real thing is the class war. Once people have better economic conditions, they’re flexible on sorts of social progress. Look at the Nordic countries ffs.
Countries which want to save themselves from fascism and oligarchs should implement the Nordic model at scale.
