“It’s ok to be white” was an online slogan used by overt white supremacist groups just a few years ago. Now it’s being used on stage in front of cameras by the vice president of the United States.

I struggle with the conversations about “political violence,” because so many of them are based in not recognizing it’s a daily reality, not an anathema or some kind of rare occurrence. Any attempt to “deal with it,” that ignores this is doomed. Free to all.
