Much in the same way people don’t even think about suggesting we fund universities at the levels we did when they were massive engines for mobility, people want to make it so any effort to redress systemic racism is unthinkable moving forward.

As I noted after other recent protests, Resistance 2.0 has been predominantly female, White and educated and turnout in DC on Saturday continued this trend. : 57% were female, 88% reported holding a BA or more and here's the race/ethnicity of the crowd.

Not a mistake that a lot of our pop culture material on resistance & rebellion features some of the most goofily earnest protagonists you can find. Actually believing in shit and being willing to fight for it is a power.
