The "Department of Homeland Security" has been posting AI generated fake paintings that look like Nazi posters complete with blonde Übermenschen.
Someone recently said "Isn't the lack of diversity a little odd? Most of the people in America don't look like this one guy."
But such criticism is "woke" and we are not doing that anymore.
The contradictions, the strain only increases. It will , eventually, break.

The American Right is hosting some very strange bedfellows at the moment. There is a significant, and disturbing group who see America as a White Christian nation. These people think that one might have a debate about the merits of interracial marriage. They do realize this wouldn't be popular so they are starting with trans people.
Meanwhile many participants in this movement have vague notions of a post racial America.

After The Obama Years and everyone noticing police violence, which is a 100+ old problem, with Black Lives Matter for a few years Black Issues(tm) have taken a back seat in mainstream discourse because no one can make hay over them at the moment.
Immigration, Transphobia, Islamophobia are being centered by the right, but their anti-black racism is less direct and obvious.
This won't last. 1/

That sounds horrible and it was very hard for me to understand this problem.
Which is good to be aware of.
When I've had mandatory open ended social events in my life it was like this.
Yes! Exactly that!
Removing Pica from the new cat bed each time she got in it just after setting it up? And both of us saying "oh no she can't sleep on the THAT bed"
She is now obsessed and loves the new bed.
Hope she misses this post... #PicaTheCat
For various reasons people answering your poll may also be a problem. If they are as grouchy as I am.
So last week I was trying to get everyone I knew to salt the "Clear Insights" poll from Cuomo. I didn't find many people on here who got the poll (it went out to people on NYC voter roles) BUT posting on my co-op message board where we complain about how long it's taking to replace the roof and the laundry room got some action.

I want to draw them each swimming their own way and looking at each other with trepidation and recognition.
I'm not saying this works well. I'm really worried they are age weighting the polls based on the primary and not the last election which would probably overestimate younger voters.
Because the phone numbers are paired with voter records (and you ask demographic questions in the poll) you can be somewhat certain of who you might be talking to.
But will they tell you who they really support? (Historically mostly yes... however)
But things like how old they are, how often they vote, where they live etc. you can know that and use it for weighting.
"This used to nourish me... but now? It's killing me."
Sometimes we can't ever really go home. You can't swim in the same river twice I suppose. 
They are doing texting polls with correlation with voter rolls in NYC it seems. But they get uneven responses so the results must be weighted by expected turnout... which you can base on the last election or primary or both by a wide range of voter "types"
The races you choose and the categories can totally change the poll outcomes.
Everyone is impressed with the swimming up little waterfalls... but the water is also kind of toxic. It's wild!
