Or, to put it another way, as long as white Americans take refuge in their whitenessโ for so long as they are unable to walk out of this most monstrous of traps-they will allow millions of people to be slaughtered in their name, and will be manipulated into and surrender themselves to what they will think of-and justifyโas a racial war. They will never, so long as their whiteness puts so sinister a distance between themselves and their own experience and the experience of others, feel themselves sufficiently human, sufficiently worthwhile, to become responsible for themselves, their leaders, their country, their children, or their fate. They will perish (as we once put it in our black church) in their sinsโthat is, in their delusions. And this is happening, needless to say, already, all around us.

Watching the fall of democracy in real time is horrifying but fascinating.
That it happened so quickly with no pushback is also horrifying but fascinating.
A nation born of slavery, might makes right, and misplaced patriotism and jingoism, is doomed to fail.
Truwp won Tennessee by 20.3% ... 64.2% v. 34.5% of the votes.
