    I don't necessarily disagree with you other than I don't think those things have been normalized. Most people I know don't think that way. If anything having Trump as president will keep these issues front and center and hopefully part of an ongoing dialogue. He just might inadvertently be a blessing in disguise.

    Are you experiencing issues in San Diego? I'll be there in 20 days ....in my continuing search for a civilized society
    I know I was born and I know that I'll die. The in between is mine.

    ^^i actually don't live in San Diego anymore. I live in Houston, TX. But I can tell you SD is just as racist if not more. The east county suburbs are known for strong racial biases. Houston is a generally diverse city, but no shortage of racism here either.

    Its easy not hear/see these things because sometimes you really open your eyes and ears to them. Once you do, you'll realize ITS EVERYWHERE

    ^^^yes we can. unfortunately, that will only get so far. We need to also stand up to these bullies. We are the voice of common sense and decency. We will prevail.

    Neither of the two major candidates represented equality or decency. Taking the L either way.

    ^^^ perhaps, but only one represented blatant racism and misogyny.

    I know there is another category for political talk, but the Porch by far is the most active one and I feel this issue is important enough to make an exception.

    I am deeply troubled by what's happening in the US. Racism, misogyny, homophobia and xenophobia are now normalized. We have let a fringe group of white supremacists steal our democracy.

    I am asking the band for you help. Please say something.

    What do you need the band for? This is silly

    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    Second time in the past few minutes thinking/saying "no shit". These people have their own lives and priorities.

    They're not our fucking messiahs nor should their sleeves be tugged upon as if they are.

    As for "normalcy" as perceived in the OP, sure there's some of that. Has been. Always will be. Human nature.

    If that's being seen only now, you got some catching up to do. Not seeing the need for hand-wringing at this point though.
