In the run up to the 2020 "(s)election," the consensus at my mixed race (African/Caucasian/Hawaiian) granddaughter's school, mostly black, promoted by some of the faculty, was if Trump won he was going to send all the blacks back to Africa, because "that's where they came from." She said she raised her hand, the teacher called on her, and she said "Not me, I'm going back to Hawaii." Everybody laughed, they all knew it was a crock.
Yes, exactly. In a world of relentless serial abuse it is easy to fall prey to Stockholm Syndrome . By indentifying with the abusers we lose. By identifying the things which underwrite out own lives and the lives of those we care for we learn to defeat the abuser's slick narrative.
Yes, "The Consensus." Gotta love it!
