This has been the golden rule for fascists and racists since time began: Identify the parts of your nation that are crumbling (on your watch) and blame it on people who don’t look like you. What is rare (and uniquely dangerous) is to find these people running the government.

‘Sinners’ on Max Will Include a Black American Sign Language Version
Max will debut Sinners in the U.S. on Friday July 4, when viewers will be able to watch it two ways: by 1) streaming the exact theatrically-released version, and 2) choosing Sinners in Black American Sign Language (BASL). It’s the first time a streaming service has interpreted a film into BASL, Warner Bros. says.

Our use of language can be problematic, in regard to political nuance and social movements. Please exercise caution, as extreme language can completely distort reality… American mythology, which we refer to as history, is an indicator of past linguistic errors we let fly.

very fun to read frederick douglass accurately describe the problem with the pardon power in 1867
A bad President, for
instance, has the power to do what? What can he not do? If he wanted to
revolutionize this government, he could easily do it with this ponderous
power; it would be an auxiliary power. He could cry “havoc, and let slip the
dogs of war,”29 and say to the conspirators: “I am with you. If you
succeed, all is well. If you fail, I will interpose the shield of my pardon, and
you are safe. If your property is taken away from you by Congress, I will
pardon and restore your property. Go on and revolutionize the government;
I will stand by you.” The bad man will say or might say this. I am not sure
but we have got a man now who comes very near saying it. Let us have done
with this pardoning power. We have had enough of this. Pardoning! How
inexpressibly base have been the uses made by this power—this beneficent
power. It has been that with which a treacherous President has trafficked.
He has made it the means of securing adherents to himself instead of
securing allegiance to the government.

Civics classes need to teach applied constitutional knowledge. Political science classes need to emphasize how identity shapes constitutional application. Democracy works when we’re not apathetic and we become apathetic when we don’t see a reflection of ourselves in our founding documents/history!
