on Lowering The Temperature
I'm hot because of bigots saying trans people don't exist, that black women "stole" their positions from whites, because racial profiling is now legal, because our President blatantly and repeatedly violates the constitution, because of people saying that 10 year old rape victims should be forced to give birth, and so much more.
So when I hear that "we" need to lower the temperature, I hear victim blaming. I hear that we should stop trying to protect people. I hear that we should let the white supremacists win. No. YOU need to STEP UP, STAND UP, and get on the right side of history.
The White Supremacists need to back down, and their supporters need to turn against them.
That is how we lower the temperature, not by calming down but by fixing the problem.
