LIES, PREDATORS, AND RACISM: A winning strategy?

Last week the lies flowed like water at the Republican Convention, while Trump supporters went on hunting trips to kill peaceful protesters in the streets- will the predators succeed? Will the actions of the NBA and many others standing up against police brutality be only a moment, or a movement? Which America will prevail? Plus - Trump is using the CDC to suppress the Covid case numbers in the runup to the election. Does the Republican death cult not care about the pandemic because they know the impact- like almost all adverse health impacts- falls disproportionately on people of color and the poor? Will America ever move beyond racism and live up to its ideals of equality, or will we re-elect hate?
