      >two alarming facts: first, that a durable ecosystem exists to ensconce citizens in an alternate reality, and second, that the people consuming and amplifying those lies are not helpless dupes but willing participants.

      I agree with you. The only answer I can see now is they hate not only a person of color but women. This country is no longer a safe place to live for women.
