This impasse bodes poorly for American democracy

2. it's a matter of semantics. they want the best for "america". it's just that, to them, "america"

means white people over non-whites, men over women, christians over everyone else, straight people over gay people, etc.

to their thinking, taking from a poor black person to give to a rich white person does make "america" better.


this may seem like just a rephrasing, but it's important to understand their thinking. they really think they're making "america" a better place, and it's important to identify the dehumanization and relegation to second-class (or worse) status of the non-preferred people as a key means that lets them justify their horrible conclusions.
