To 2021 and Beyond .... current politics

Biden did attach Jim Crow to the GA election laws.
Thanks for pointing that out and citing it.
Apparently everything is Jim Crow.

The asain hate is real imo. Ive seen too many articles, some are just homeless psychos that would happen regardless of covid but there are just to many to incidents. Its not just white MAGAs, its POC from NYC and SF and in England etc.

I guess MAGAs are defensive bc trump made china/asians the target of blame and hate and anger but its not just MAGAs acting like assholes.

To deny there is an uptick in asain hate re covid ... seems disingenuous to me.

Have you gotten your hands on some Zombie Dust beer yet?

Every act of hate crime is unjust

There is an uptick in Asian hate crime because of covid. There was an uptick in hate crimes against Muslim after 9/11. These upticks are not because of trump as the offenders are diverse around the country...it growing anger about the suffering around the country. Unfortunately we are flawed as humans

Not yet...I’m sticking to mostly local beers. As the season warm, I’ll start to drink more pales and pilsners

Would you say Trump's efforts to deflect blame onto China when he was in office helped his base make him partially responsible for the rise in anti-Asian American sentiment?

Just to be clear, I don't hold Trump responsible for any "dem" or minority who are acting out on their anti-AA bias now, but you don't think Trump deserves any partial blame for repeatedly pointing the finger while he stood at the world's largest podium?

The blame on China was not deflecting - covid started in China. And speaking truth about where covid started is not synonymous with anti asian hate. Those who hate have always and will always use incidents to fuel their hatred.

Now to your point Trump and the liberal media worked together (not intentionally) to fuel the sentiment. Very much the societal equivalent to the physics law of equal and opposite reaction, every Trump action (like early on prohibiting travel) was skewed and lambasted as asian hate or some other ludicrously extreme viewpoint and that created push back which spiraled with more push back etc

Trump is clearly to blame for never using the podium to bring it back into balance, but the media (all sides) are equally to blame for inserting energy into the equation.

Also China started an immediate global campaign to blame the US and propagandize theories that covid started elsewhere

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/in...mic-2020-03-15

China hung posters in their country around western installations to beware of the US virus in the last year.

Trump constant reminder to fight that narrative of origin and for China to accept responsibility is will within our right and broader strategy against a regime committing genocide and smashing HK right to independence.

Also for people to lay blame at Trump and try to portray as a bunch of right wingers committing Asian hate crime and violence is a lie. We have seen the videos, we know where the violence occurs (urban environments) and we know from the crime stats of the offenders.

It’s like Jussie smollett claiming Chicago is maga country. 🧐
