Here’s an article by David French, one of those “principled” conservatives everybody loves when they say Donald Trump should not be president.

This is the same guy who briefly considered a run for president (pushed by Bill Kristol) after Trump defeated the last regular Republican candidate during the primary campaign.

White people, no one is asking you to apologize for your ancestors. We are asking you to pull down and dismantle the system they built. https://twitter.com/blackfamilyunit/status/1010956421867831296?s=17
I think this is a pretty good tweet, taken in isolation.
«”I did vote for Trump, and now, it’s like I think, ‘What did I do?'” said Charlene Kratz, a teacher who was having an early dinner with a liberal friend in Marietta Square. “I’m not happy with the way things have gone with him … he’s said so many racist things.”
Kratz says that, in hindsight, she thinks the country would have been better off with Hillary Clinton.
But Kratz is the exception — the only Republican voter in more than 50 interviews to express regret about voting for the president.»

More on the “immigrant recruits being expelled from the military” story.
I remain convinced that there is a correlation between pro-lifers and racists, and that racists are using the pro-life objective as a proxy for their true cause, which they cannot publicly admit to. That cause being: keeping their children from going to school with other children they don’t like. It’s how the religious right got started in the late 1970s, and I believe it’s driving the charter school movement and hostility to public schools.

«It wasn’t until Brown v. Board of Education in 1954 that the Court resurrected the Fourteenth Amendment’s promise of racial equality, overturning Plessy and attacking school segregation. It struck down state laws banning interracial marriage in Loving v. Virginia. And it upheld landmark civil-rights laws like the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. While the Court stopped short of guaranteeing equal funding for education, it did much to attack the jurisprudential foundation of Jim Crow.
At the same time, Chief Justice Earl Warren’s Court resurrected John Bingham’s vision of national enforcement of fundamental rights—most notably, by extending the protections of the Bill of Rights to the states, thereby safeguarding free speech, religious liberty, the right to counsel, and the right to be free of unreasonable searches and seizures.
More controversially, the Warren Court laid the foundation for rights not explicitly mentioned in the text of the Constitution, such as the right to privacy.»
