The whole backlash against CRT, DEI, student protest, everything is a backlash to 2020. Black folks keep pointing this out and I keep asking everyone else to please see and say this

I'd go a step further and say this is all still reactionary fallout from the US electing a half black man almost two whole decades ago.

Beyond that, it's a backlash to 2008. Obama getting elected, especially between his particular predecessor and follower, broke millions of fragile 6F brains all around the country.

The back to work stuff too! They don’t ever want that many people with free time and stimulus checks to ever gather in the streets again

I personally think you can go even further back - white people essentially went nuts after a Black man was elected president.

"...backlash to 2020", which was a backlash to 2016, which was a backlash to 2008.

Colin Kaepernick protested in the most peaceful manner possible and was banned from employment in his chosen field for life.

Yeah, that tracks dead on. I imagine if I were some suburban boat-dealer shitbird local elite watching the 3rd burn and protests all over the country I'd be terrified. Especially since a White cop ended up getting tossed in jail for murdering a Black man.

They will never call it out unfortunately. These are the same people that didn't want to call Trump supporters racists in 2016.

I think you need to go further. Ever since Obama took office, right wingers are more and more scared that their white country is going to be watered down. Trump allowed them to take this fear and anger to 11.
