"If you want a country whose political imagination isn’t just limited by what won’t offend white people" - I haven't heard our national reality described like this. It is the truest thing. And it's not just the white Trump supporters. It's you and me.
Thank you Garrett - your post provides an incredibly helpful analogy. The study of Kamala's balancing act is instructive too. The long-form piece on Kamala in May's Atlantic article talks a bit more about that tightrope and Kamala's intent, stating Kamala "comes across as a woman who is cashing in her chips, taking all the political and social capital she was safeguarding for all those years and putting it on the table, declaring that her moment is now."
