    I think a lot of what we're seeing now is a particularly rancid demographic bubble being driven up before the end of majority-white America

        @QueenKika You got it. "Let us hope". (despite an ingrown cynicism)

        @MJB_SF @GreatDismal I have strong faith in the white man’s particular skill at plumbing the depths of idiocy, esp. in his last, great gasp.

      @GreatDismal @girlziplocked Yeah, a lot of people have been predicting the last melodramatic death throes of the white majority.

      @GreatDismal given the history and present of say, South Africa, I suspect that majority or not is not as significant as it might seem.

      @GreatDismal Turns out, being paranoid for hundreds of years does not actually emotionally prepare you for your worst fears coming true

      @GreatDismal You're probably familiar with the idea of an extinction burst. Let us hope this is that.

      @GreatDismal Hopefully. I see it as the poison being drawn to the surface, a poison we've been needing to treat since our nation's founding.
