Racism abounds
The horror show is in full swing. Trump has people chanting racist calls about congresswomen. We all remember his respect for the white supremacists in Charlottesville.
The slaves were freed in 1865. The Civil Rights Act was enacted in 1964. All to the good and all to the point of understanding and recognizing that all men are created equal.
Unless you are a native American, you have migrant blood in your veins and you're part of the melting pot. But you may not be of color.
This Trump racism seems to be a campaign ploy to energize his base, much like cruelty to asylum seekers at the Southern border is intended to do. One hears that the some R's reject the racist direction but the R party never makes a statement. They like the fear bred by inferring that 'coastals', Democrats, will ruin the country. Check out Eugene Robinson of the Washington Post on Republican racism - LINK
The two words to denigrate Democrats in the 2020 elections are "Socialists", and "Send her back". We have to prove that socialism is not communism, and that we already have huge beneficial socialist programs, not the least of which is the military, followed by tax-fed police and fire.
What do we do to combat racism? We have to not allow it. Over the past 50 years, racism has been driven down, not truly eliminated, but at least the conversation was, to the largest part, politically correct. In the last two years, that political correctness has been washed away and it is okay to attack, slur, and assail another person for their race and/or color.
This is not the America of the our forefathers and our constitution.

Call him "ineffective"
He's calling us socialists and obstructionists and the cause of the border debacle. We call him racist and moronic and a liar. Strong argumentative words.
Let's call him "Ineffective". That label will be like nails on a blackboard to him. This was a suggestion by a panelist on CNN the other day. Try it on some people. The reaction has been good.
"Trump is 'ineffective'".
