The Trump presidency (I want to spit blood whenever I put those words side-by-side) will be a brutal wake-up call for white people. They will be given the chance to relive what newly freed slaves had lived through after the assassination of Lincoln. All of the hard-fought gains of the Civil War were stripped away, the white power structure was put back in place, and the government they had come to depend on to help them, looked the other way, or worse, accelerated the reversal while bolstering the rebirth of the white status quo.
Our modern-day reconstruction will strip away healthcare, environmental regulations, financial protections, LGBTQ rights, and much more, while once again reinstituting and fortifying a white, wealthy status quo, to the detriment of all, except the privileged few.
