angry as well, and hopefully without the barricades or the obstacles of voter suppression, we will turn out in ways we did not in 2016, which will hopefully make it more like 2018. and i think we have to remember women. one of the things we saw in the midterms was white women without a college degree who were not evangelicals voted for democrats. and that was actually so we forget that the trump base isn t all solidified. there is also final thought here, someone who covers new york city politics, people want to make this about the south. those are new york politics. like there are versions of that that have happened, desegregating queens, like howard beach, things you and i have lived threw and covered, crown heights riots. that has racial politics, mob chanting. i ve seen that firsthand in new york city. you don t have to go down to some other place in the country to channel those politics. rudy giuliani. people are afraid of each other, and they don t always have reason to
