Considerations as we wade into Monday.

1) Trump supporters aren't stupid, gullible or ignoring his behavior. They approve of and support it. Softening and excusing that is deep cultural training. Undo it. Save everyone the stress and inundation of your continued denials. Please.

2) Trump ignorers aren't voting against their interest. They're sure they're exempt from consequence, in all things, because they have always been. They are the couple in Texas being denied an abortion, saying, "We didn't think it would affect us." And truly not having cared about harm to others.

3) Marginalized community members threatening to sit this election out, with a purity test for the Dems, are aligning themselves with the self-interest in #2 that there is no historical, systemic or institutional record of or support for. They still believe they will be okay, regardless of outcome.

4) Black folks are having the same convo as others, but data is data. If we withheld our votes every election unless there was a candidate who centered us and shared our values...well... We understand there are people who want to, and will, send us back to the '30s. At the earliest.

5) This year, instead of voting your personal feelings and demands, and waiting to post thanks to Black voters after, fight and vote for what's best for this country. It doesn't always feel awesome and exhilarating, but it beats hell out of everything you felt from 2016-20. And this will be worse.
