Stephan:   I think it is very important that each of us who support democracy, racial and gender equality, and social policies that foster wellbeing at every level bear in mind that something fundamental has happened with one of the political parties in the United States. The Republican Party has become an organization of White supremacy and fascism. The polls make this very clear. ]Why has this happened? In my opinion, it is happening because Whites, and largely White men, are terrified that as America becomes a majority-minority nation Whites are losing the unspoken privilege that their race conferred. Equally alarming to these generally low education, low intellect Whites, the nation's implicit gender bias is also unraveling, and men will no longer enjoy a superior status over women. What is clear is that even as Trump slithers out of the presidency the party he has enabled and allowed to blossom into the hate group it has become will remain. Contrary to all the happy lies we will tell ourselves, and teach our children in school, racism, authoritarianism, and male dominance have been baked into the culture of the United States since the nation came into existence in 1787. Don't you think it is time to change this, and who can do that, but we ourselves?
