I wrote the other day this is a new dimension of politics. As of this month, we have entered The Twilight Zone. First, the asinine racist attorney at the Arbery trial decided he could not abide any more Black preachers sitting in court with Ahmaud's grief-stricken mother while she suffers the loss once more listening to the gory details. Second, during the debate for the "big" Build Back Better bill, a Republican Representative actually used the term "Blue-State Yankees". The only things missing for effect were the Q-anon Shaman and the guy with the Confederate flag.

I probably have the timetable wrong; we hit The Twilight Zone on January 6th! The "outliers" are waaaay out there in another dimension.

The media doesn't have to point out anything. They just keep endlessly playing the footage, and the Republicans, racists, misogynists, and gender biased a-holes speak for themselves. If you want a little media pick-me-up, look up the story on NBC KOBI TV titled "Hundreds of high school students walk-out after ‘I Resolve’ educators reinstated". These young people are beautiful inside and out.
