    The people who want to “Make America Great Again” want to oppress minorities. If they could turn black people into slaves, they’d do it.

        I’d go as far as say that slavery just exists in other forms. The current version is wage slavery and debt slavery.

        Whether using the truck system or the sharecropping system or exploiting child workers or exploiting migrant workers, we’ve never really stopped driving the US economy with bonded servitude. We just don’t call it slavery.

        In the meantime, SCOTUS has just reaffirmed that corporations have rights, but human beings do not. At this point I wonder if there’s going to be a country left even if the Democrats get back into power and actually attempt to save society.
