It is not unimaginable. This is what America has always been, especially to people who are considered to be on the margins. Those of us who bear no illusions about the kind of society we have been living in for decades, historically since this nation was founded.
Years ago when George Floyd was executed, I warned that this wouldn't stop at "just us" Black people, this would eventually touch white people as well.
I had a non-Black friend who I had a disagreement with post-election 2024, when he insisted that things would be alright and we'd get through it "together". I said "no...there is no together when some of us voted for harm reduction and others voted for people they find "unworthy" to face obvious and certain harm". And I said, things would only get worse. I was very angry but I wasn't speaking out of anger. I was speaking out of awareness for what this country has always been and the predictable path it would be on, once it became clear that some people wished harm on others that they found unworthy of protection and some opportunity to live in dignity with some type of fairness.
Until people are ready to face some truths about where were are as a society, it's only going to continue along this bloody path.
