The cycle:
1. For ~2 years: Not doing anything to help Black folk. Actively ignoring them. Pushing back hard on their most innocuous requests.
2. For ~1 year: Denying Black folks' expertise and warnings. Gaslighting them. Downplaying the risks. Lots of saying, "It won't happen!" And "It won't be that bad!" Avoiding all easy, common sense things that would avoid bad outcomes.
3. For ~6 months: Blacksplaining to Black folks. Saying "We'll fix it after the election!"
4. Despair! 🤡
We're at 4.
